Ghana News Agency – The Presiding Bishop of Refreshing Hour International Church, Reverend Dr. Ebenezer Sefah, has cautioned newly ordained pastors of the Church to be guided by the word of God in their relationship with women, in order not to fall into temptation.
He said anointed men of God are often attracted to women, therefore, pastors must always remain pure and righteous, to raise the kingdom of God high at all times, so as to shame the schemes of the enemy.
He noted that money, women and fame are three potential things the devil could explore to destroy men of God therefore they must be vigilant in order not to fall victims.
Bishop Sefah, who is the Founder and General Overseer of the Church, gave the admonition at the ordination ceremony of some pastors in the Church, to mark the Silver Jubilee Anniversary and Easter Convention of the Church in Sekondi.
Speaking on the theme: “The Best Is Yet To Come,” he entreated the ordained pastors not to sell their anointing for money or any material benefits, because money is the root of all evil.
Rather, he said, they should wait for God’s blessing which is sustaining and fruitful.
The General Overseer lamented that most politicians lacked principles, and had been the bane of the country’s development.
He averred that when someone has knowledge it must be guided by character, however, he said, there are many people in leadership positions who lack character and principles, and that has affected the vision and plan of this country.
The pastors who were ordained into full pastoral ministry, included Pastors Peter Menu, Twum Darko, James Menano, Yaw Kwarteng, Joseph S.K Mensah, and Samuel Ocloo.
The Church which started in 1988 with five members, has grown in numbers with 16 branches, and has won thousands of souls for Jesus Christ across the country and beyond.
