enyomedia’s train moved from our base in Ho, that is Central or Mid Volta and landed at Southern Volta specifically Agbozume to mourn the passing of the late Mr Christopher K Blewuada .

Going southwards, the landscape changes into lowlands with pockets of lagoons. Coconut trees are seen everywhere.

There are a lot of snacks such as dzowoe, a mixture of corn or rice flour and spices rolled into balls, agbelikaklo, that is milled fresh cassava with some additives then is rolled into balls and fried, and akpornor( cassava flour biscuits). There are shallots, onion, salt, local rice and many others.

There are readily available foods such as yakeyake, fried potatoes, etc and various locally made drinks. The fried fish here has a unique taste because it is freshly harvested and processed with coconut oil.

The chief dance of the people is Agbadza.
One fascinating sight was that the elderly men who wore big shorts, with top (jumper) and men’s cloth, (sometimes the cloth matches with the top), almost all of them wore hats.

The people are friendly and easily welcome visitors into their gathering.

Brother Atta Panyin, 43 who was a fetish priest for 18 years tells of his story. He was born and bred at Asankragua, Saa Kronkron, in the Western Region of Ghana. According to him, the men in his family usually died between ages 30 to 35.

He heard about power for protection of life in Burkina Faso. He consulted some people in his area and then travelled to Burkina Faso. At the place, he was given a pot that contained iron filings, gold dust and other things from rivers.
He returned and then practised the work of a fetish priest.
He said during his fetish days, he was kind to people in need and did not see his fetish priest practice as a sin or something evil. He said the spirits behind his practice worked to a point, deceits and lies also took active part of his activity.

According to him, he saw the image of Jesus Christ in several times and ways. When he surrendered to Jesus Christ, Pastor Anthony Safo at Asankragua was around to burn all the fetish items.
Atta Panyin himself burnt his roofing sheets, wood for roofing and all properties acquired through that practice of darkness. He said he has witnessed the mighty power of God through Jesus Christ and that has kept him alive. He is currently at El-Bethel Prayer Centre of the Church of Pentecost in Ho, Volta Region.

Our enyomedia train has landed at Prince Ebenezer Memorial School, Fiave, Ho, the Volta Regional Capital. We are privileged to speak with the proprietress of the school, Mrs Beauty Mifatu Ahiadorme, who took us through her life’s journey.
‘Mawu ƒɛ amenuveve’ in the Ewe Language of the people of the Voltaland means God’s grace and that is the exact phrase Madam used in her initial statement.

After 18 months in the womb, a Catholic priest exclaimed at her birth, “What a black beauty?”.
With parental fetish backgrounds from Agbozume, Penyi, and Dzodze, all in the Volta Region of Ghana, Mrs Beauty Mifatu Ahiadorme told her life story as a recipient of the abundant graces of God. “To be able to wear dresses, shoes, headgears, and use purses or handbags were not to be part of me, but for God being so good, the life in Jesus Christ has allowed me to do these and many more”, she said giving total glory to God for bringing her this far.

Madam Beauty Mifatu Ahiadorme in her office

She was born some 60 years ago into idolatry, her mother being a priestess to a fetish entity. The paternal grandmother built 7 rooms for different types of idols. The grandfather was also into idol worship. The idolatry had effect on her right from the womb.
According to Madam, during the mother’s pregnancy of her, her mother carried some gathered items for fetish worship. It was later explained that though physically the mother carried the items, spiritually it was the baby within, the unborn baby who undertook that assignment.
She was later born at the St Anthony Catholic Hospital, Dzodze.

The grandmother was excited at her birth and protected her in all ways possible with the fetish charms and powers. As a child she wore fetish cowries as beads, and was different among her friends. She was taken through fetish initiation rites at Dzodze and Klikor.

Madam told us of her being uncontrollably stubborn during her childhood days, so arrangements were made for her to go and stay with the grand uncle, a medical doctor in Wenchi, in the Bono Region of Ghana in the early 1970s.

In the vehicle, she took off the adorning cowries on her body with her teeth, and threw them away because she became shy when people made statements about how she was draped in so many of them.

At Wenchi, she followed the grand uncle’s wife, Mrs Josephine Adzo Nornoo, who died recently to The Apostolic Church. This woman at a time worked with Pastor James McKeown, the founder of The Church of Pentecost.

At a point they returned to the Volta Region. On Sunday, 4th April 1980, she was baptized at Penyi during The Church of Pentecost’s Easter Convention.
After a family meeting, she was sent away from home, the granduncle’s place, because they were afraid of the consequences from the idols.
She stayed with Elder Gawu, the then Presiding Elder at Penyi. She had to sometimes walk on foot from Dzodze, the grandmother’s place, to school at Penyi.

She later moved to Ho after completion of Middle School.

At Ho, the then Presiding Elder of The Church of Pentecost, Elder Affor at Ho Central, that is the current Dome Central Assembly accepted her wholeheartedly and took her as a daughter.

There were other family issues, so she had by no choice of hers to worship with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.

At a point in her life, the local name her grandmother gave her began having effects on her. Through personal prayers and intercessory prayers from Pastor Jerry Paul Adzah(rtd) of The Church of Pentecost, conditions became better.

She later returned to The Church of Pentecost and currently worships at Fiave Central Assembly.

The mother and grandmother later received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Personal Saviour.
Deaconness Beauty Mifatu Ahiadorme emphasized that without the grace of God, she would have been nothing good because when she sees her mates who still belong to that era she feels sad for them.

To the glory of God, after going through the mill and processes of life such as vocational, social welfare, and early childhood education courses, Mrs Beauty Mifatu Ahiadorme is a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a fashion designer, a deaconess of The Church of Pentecost and a proprietress of Prince Ebenezer Memorial School as she continues enjoying the love of God.

The Ho Area of The Church of Pentecost under the auspices of Apostle Dr Dela Quampah as part of the second Area Week has organized a Prophetic Conference from Thursday, 18th to Saturday, 20th August, 2022 in Anum and Ho zones. The theme was, ‘Equipping the Church through the Prophetic Ministry’.

The speakers for the programme were Apostle Dr Dela Quampah, the Ho Area Head, (Executive Council Member), Prophet David Kankam Beditor, the Ashaiman Area Head, (Executive Council Member), Apostle Dr Alfred Koduah(rtd), immediate past General Secretary, Elder Prof. Seth Yaw Peasa, the El-Bethel Prayer Centre Leader and a National Executive Committee Member of the Evangelism Ministry, all of The Church of Pentecost.

On Thursday morning, Apostle Dr Dela Quampah spoke to the topic, “The Testimony of Jesus is a Spirit of Prophecy”. Rev 19: 10(1- 10)
He said Prophecy works in the Ho Area of The Church of Pentecost, examples are through songs. Jeremiah 2: 7, Hosea 6: 2.

He explained that in every generation, God chooses and graces some people through whom He works in the form of
Prophecy and Revelation and this results in new hope, new life, and new victory for the people. He gave Agabus, Hosea, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah and Malachi as some of the prophets of old.

Dr Quampah noted that though the worship of Christ is not taught in schools, theology is revelation caught by some worshippers of Jesus Christ. He emphasized that, “without prophecy, Christianity would have been lost and God would not be heard”.

Apostle Dr Dela Quampah said prophecy has multiple applications which include impartation of knowledge and wisdom, works miracles, saves, redeems, inspires, and gives courage. Other applications are creativity, equipping for service, restoring valuables, and overcoming the challenges of life.

The Ho Area Head explained that
everyone can prophesy but not everyone that prophesies is a prophet. He said that a prophet stays on a unique path and he added that, “the prophetic will challenge information with revelation”.

Apostle Dr Dela Quampah advised the congregation to say uplifting words and avoid saying discouraging words. “Why won’t you hold on to hope. I take out all hopeless statements from your lips”, he said.

He went on to say that prophecy speaks God’s mind, demonstrates God’s power in a situation. He prayed for wonders to happen in the congregation’s life. “May God push you to where people think you cannot go, because of prophecy. You will be praised where you were insulted.
The valley of Achan shall be the doors of hope. There will be favourable changes in the life of your spouses, children, situations, etc.There is hope for your future. Jeremiah 29: 11″, Apostle Dr Dela Quampah prophesied.

He enumerated a number of exercises done through Prophecy. Some of which are showing the way, drawing the people towards righteousness, and pronouncing God’s judgement.
“May Jehovah open your eyes as you see the future”, he prayed.

Concluding the sermon, Apostle Dr Dela Quampah, the Ho Area Head of The Church of Pentecost gave a hopeful prophecy for Ho, the Volta Regional Capital, and its environs. He said that the stones that Ho is noted for will turn into diamonds. “A time is coming when people will thirst to be in Ho. People will come from all walks of life, all over the world to see the glory of Ho”, Apostle Dr Dela Quampah said repeatedly.

Sister Edna Yanieta Dzam who is a professional teacher and worships at The Church of Pentecost, PIWC-Ho, Volta Region has given a testimony about God’s goodness on Sunday, 31st July, 2022.

According to her, she had a painless swollen on her abdomen during pregnancy. She thought it was harmless and would disappear after delivery of her twin babies.

Unfortunately the swollen part did not disappear after the successful delivery, but was accompanied with intermittent pains, especially after she ate or kept urine for a while.

A visit to the medical doctor revealed that there were spaces in her intestines and was confirmed to be gastric hernia by scan. According to her doctor, it was only surgery which could correct the condition. She was then booked for surgery at Royal Hospital, Ho.

Sister Edna explained that she went for prayers at The Church of Pentecost’s El-Bethel Prayer Centre and the sick were prayed for, so she concluded that she had received her healing. Again, during the July 2022 Lord’s Supper Sunday at PIWC-Ho, she took the communion and prayed over it that the power in the Blood of Jesus Christ should correct everything in her system before eating it.

Sister Edna testified that she noticed that the growth had reduced in size and there was no more pain.
At the hospital, the doctor confirmed he could not detect the defect again.
Sister Edna Yanieta Dzam concluded her testimony by saying that, “the problem of over one and a half years is no more, all glory to God Almighty”.

Pastor Michael Edjouku Arthur further explained that, “Pentecost Men’s Ministry has an objective to develop the man spiritually, physically, socially, psychologically, and in all other aspects so the programme was in place for the financial development of the participants as they have learnt new ideas to put into business”.
He added that the Ho Area PEMEM was ready to give financial support for some start-ups.

The facilitators from Star Entrepreneurship took the participants through the production of brown sugar, washing powder, weedicides, ice cream, shoe polish, and bio digester. Others were 3D epoxy installation and fixing of CCTV camera.

One of the facilitators, Deacon Prosper Ewoenam Ametefe advised the participants not to think ahead of God and that God will open avenues for them to develop what they have been trained in into practice and business.

The participants were given certificates and pen drives with practical videos. They were so appreciative to the organizers as they had acquired new skills.
