Ho-Fiave (V/R), Oct. 13, GNA – Elder Noamesi Gershon of The Church of Pentecost, Ho-Fiave Central Assembly in the Volta Region, has urged Christians across the nation to live lives that reflect the light of Christ.
Christians, he said, should as moral beacons in a world increasingly plagued by corruption, moral decay and spiritual darkness.
Preaching on the theme: “You Are the Light of the World”, based on Matthew 5:14 and Philippians 2:14–15, Noamesi emphasised that the Christian’s identity is not merely in name or religious affiliation, but in the ability to shine with integrity, compassion, and love in a generation he described as “crooked and perverse.”
The sermon formed part of activities marking the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) Week.
Elder Noamesi emphasised that, “As believers, we are called to be different. The light we carry is not our own—it is Christ in us. And that light must shine consistently, especially in difficult times.”
He challenged Christians to rise above negativity, urging them to refrain from complaining and disputes, both in the church and in society.
He described such attitudes as “diming one’s spiritual light,” adding that a life filled with gratitude and peace was more reflective of true Christian witness.
He urged Christians to actively live out their calling by making themselves available for Kingdom Service, saying that breakthroughs, healing and blessings often come through faithful and wholehearted service.
“God is looking for vessels who are willing to serve without reservation,” he noted.
Elde Noamesi stressed the importance of loving one’s neighbour, urging believers to go beyond mere words to offer practical support and intercession for those in need.
“When someone is in trouble, don’t hesitate. Step in. Show love. Be the answer to their prayer,” he advised.
Elder Noamesi said abeliever has a unique assignment and reach, and that there are some individuals who may only encounter Christ through their life testimony.
“Your life might be the only Bible someone ever reads. Live it well,” he said.
Concluding the sermon, Elder Noamesi stated that the Christian’s light can only be sustained through a personal and ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Without Christ at the centre, he warned, that, even the most active service can become meaningless.
“When your light goes out, your service is disrupted. But when it shines—especially in adversity—you will not struggle to succeed. The light within you has power over every darkness,” he declared.
The sermon formed part of the church’s broader efforts to encourage members to renew their commitment to holy living, evangelism, and social impact during GPCC Week.
The service ended with a call to action for all believers to reflect deeply on their spiritual walk and to ensure that their light is not hidden but made visible to draw others to Christ.
