GIVE THYSELF WHOLLY ORDINATION

by Admin November 5, 2021

Technology is great and a definite plus to our fast-paced world. However, nothing beats the gift of Community and physical unity. Last year, Covid-19 won and the Give Thyself Wholly Conference had to be online. Nevertheless God is gracious and He smiled on us with mercy this year! The Give Thyself Wholly Conference is back and it’s better. This year we brought it Home!

This year’s Conference is dubbed “The Spirit Entered into Me Conference” and it is live at the Qodesh in North Kaneshie. The Ordination of 19 Non United Denominations Pastors was the perfect beginning to this amazing Conference. The ceremony mirrored the heart and purpose of the very name, Give Thyself Wholly. It was a beautiful sight to behold as these wonderful Men of God publicly declared their commitment to the course of Christ. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, his heart bursting with intense love, covered the newly ordained pastors with anointed prayers and numerous blessings.

The anointing session of the ordained pastors by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills coupled with the mesmerising ministration of Lady Pastor Georlynn’s Fulfill Your Ministry brought down Heaven here on earth. Whether you were in attendance or watching online, the power of the Presence of God was undeniably evident.
There is nothing as fulfilling as seeing the Army of God increase in number and as heart warming as welcoming more labourers into His vineyard.

Our Guest Pastor from not-too-far away Scotland established himself as a seasoned mouthpiece of God with his powerful message. ‘When we speak with the voice of the Lord, people will not be able to resist the wisdom that is coming from us’ was just one of the many treasured nuggets Pastor Ben McLaughlin shared in his message. He personified that phrase through the power and strength with which he preached.

This year’s conference has been great thus far! Numerous testimonies are already flooding in. Be sure to be a part of it to receive Light and Direction for your life and ministry.

ORDINATION SERVICE HELD AT QODESH FAMILY CHURCH, GHANA.

by Admin June 2, 2021

The beautiful Qodesh auditorium was filled to capacity for the historic QFC Ghana Ministerial Ordination on Sunday, 30th May 2021. The Bishop of the Qodesh and Chairman of the Qodesh Family Church Ghana, Bishop Nii Adjeidu Armar and his council of Bishops processed into the Jesus Cathedral with a group of 7 men and 7 women who were being ordained to the high office of Reverend Ministers. Church members, well wishers and family members attended in their numbers to support the Ordinands.

Bishop Nii Adjeidu Armar, opened the service with the declaration of purpose where he admonished the ministers to be ordained that “their real Ordination comes from above because Jesus said;” Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go forth and bring forth fruits and that your fruits should remain, that whatsoever you may ask the Father in my name, He may give it to you “. He further espoused that the ministers are being welcomed into a privileged estate.

The ceremony was filled with many special moments. The congregation cheered in a rapturous applause as Bishop Eddie Addy gave his wife a special hug, Bishop Edwin Ogoe gave his wife a lovely kiss, Episcopal Sister Adelaide Heward-Mills gave a congratulatory hug to her assistant – Lady Rev. Bridgette-Marian Ogoe.

In a sermon delivered by Archbishop Kwasi Ampofo, the Ordinands were reminded that the decision to usher them into the high office was a sign that our Father, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills was graciously stretching out his right hand of fellowship to them. He further propounded the fact that the Ministers had entered into another rank which was a show of confidence in them. He exhorted them not to disregard the right hand of fellowship that Bishop Dag had extended to them.

The Qodesh auditorium was charged with much excitement and resounding cheers and applause as Lady Reverend Amelia Aidoo read the profiles of the various nominees. The candidates were then anointed with oil and prayed for by Bishop Nii Adjeidu Armar as well as Bishop Eddie Addy. The Ordained Reverend Ministers proceeded to read the Minister’s pledge which was based on 1 Corinthians 9:16; “For though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the Gospel!”. They vowed to align themselves to the vision, principles and spirit of the Ministry wherever God would place them, and pledged to fight the good fight, be loyal and faithful in their conduct, speech and attitude at all times.

The appointed Reverend Ministers are in the persons of Lady Rev. Dr. Adina Anita Naa-Abia Addy, Lady Rev. Bridgette-Marian Ogoe, Lady Rev. Eugenia Mercy Jackson-Davies, Lady Rev. Janice Akweley Addison, Lady Rev. Josephine Austin, Lady Rev. Phebemary Makafui Adodo-Samani, Lady Rev. Sharon Agyakwa, Rev. Eyram Festus Kwashie Ashigbie, Rev. Emmanuel Sampah, Rev. Claude Peregrino-Solomon, Rev. Godfried Kofi Osei-Boakye and Rev. Bertinus Baalu, Rev. Eric Kojo Boi Annan Dsane and Rev. Innocent Kwame Galley.

The major highlight of this august occasion was the fact that there were 7 men and 7 women equally represented to be ordained, a sign of the presence and approval of God as well as a mark of divine perfection. In an interesting turn during the sermon Archbishop Kwasi Ampofo furnished the congregation with the fact that one of the ordinands, Rev. Emmanuel Sampah was born on 27. 07.1977 and got born again at the age of 17 and so the number 7 continued to ring strongly, which meant that Jesus himself had given his approval and that the ministers were a very special selection.

The event was beautifully graced by the QFC Ghana Mass choir of over 150 choristers which saw singers and minstrels come together from all branches of the Qodesh Family Churches, they sang with great joy and praised the Lord as the entire church celebrated the joyful day.

The Lighthouse Chapel International Denomination, as part of its activities to commemorate the birthday of our Founder and Father, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, appoints and ordains sons and daughters into the Work of the Ministry

by Admin May 19, 2021

Pastoral appointments were held in Ejura – Wisdom and Power Cathedral, Achimota – King of Kings Cathedral, Ayawaso – The Way Cathedral and Nsawam Church on Sunday morning. In all 30 new pastors were appointed- 9 females and 21 male Pastors.

In the afternoon of the same day, an Ordination Ceremony for the Denomination was held. The Chairman of the denomination – Bishop Steve Asare prayed powerfully to usher the ordinands into the high level of their ministerial assignment.

Preaching from1 Tim 4:15-16, Bishop Steve admonished the ordinands, that their profiting would appear to all if they meditated on the spiritual lineage they came from, the fiber they are made out of, who appointed them.

“Take heed to yourself. There’s danger around every anointed person. You are always a target. Take heed to the doctrines of the house: The doctrine of
✏️Salvation- The most important topic to preach about. The most important effort of your life must be towards the salvation of souls
✏️Loyalty- Don’t be a strong proponent of Loyalty today and change tomorrow. That’s the danger. Don’t change!
✏️Every Member a Minister- We believe that every member can be a minister. There is nothing special about you. You were once a member and today you are an Ordained Minister. See every new convert in this same light.
✏️God is our rewarder- Don’t slack! Don’t backslide! Stay strong and serve God to the end!”

Bishops Robert Nunoo, Kwame Ampofo, Kenneth Kissi Bamfo, Noble Nobleson and Episcopal Sister Rebecca Joana Addae graced the occasion. 30 new ministers were ordained – 2 females and 28 males.
