Apostle Anthony Koblah Ahalivor, Madina District Regional Leader of the Pentecost Church on Good Friday, said that the Church of Jesus Christ can never be stopped by Satan's plans. .

What he said was that the builder of the church was Jesus Christ himself and that he said in his Word, "Do not be afraid, I am the first and last, and the living. I am dead, and I am alive forever, and I have the keys to death and Hades "(Revelation 1: 17-18).

He stated that throughout history, all of Satan's attempts to stop the church had never succeeded and would never succeed, no matter what happens.

Apostle Ahalivor, who made this statement in his message of Good Friday to the congregation of the International Pentecostal Worship Center (PIWC) in Atomic, said that because of this truth, Christians do not should not be afraid of the problems they may face in their lives, but persevere, and hold fast to their faith in Christ.

His sermon was on the theme chosen by PIWC for its Easter convention: "… the gates of hades will not overcome it" (Matt 16:18).

He said that Satan's desire was for humanity to become the enemy of God by disobeying God.

He noted that although Satan launched several attacks on the church and succeeded in killing many Jews and Christians, the church continued to strengthen.

He explained that "the church is the body of Christ, the temple of God, the bride of Christ. It is both local and universal, visible and invisible, it is an army of God, of militant nature, "from which the commandment to every believer to go out and preach". gospel once they have been saved. "

The work of the church, he said, was therefore to destroy the works of Satan, and that "no one will remain silent when one destroys one's work, and that is why we see many challenges , especially in the family system ".

He said that "the devil uses these things to strike you hard to renounce your faith," citing examples such as Job, Paul, and Stephen in the Bible, who have suffered greatly for their faith in Christ.

Apostle Ahalivor said that suffering as a Christian does not make someone a sinner, pointing out that the Church that Jesus built was a fighting church and that there was would certainly have victims saying "you are suffering because you belong to the church of Jesus Christ".

Explaining why this day was considered "good," said the Apostle Ahalivor, that day was considered a cursed day by the apostles and followers, but said that the crucifixion of Christ and his death on the cross embodied the highest price that an individual could pay for love. of humanity, which was a turning point for Christians to remain faithful and persevering in prayer.

He encouraged Christians and the entire population to firmly maintain their faith in Christ while it was expected that the world would become harder than today, but he urged the Ghanaians imitate the love and pbadion manifested by Jesus Christ by his death on the cross. .
