The President of the Apostolic Church Ghana, Apostle Dr. Aaron Ami-Narh has asked christians  to still look at the better side of life amidst the restrictions and hardships brought by the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to him, in these uncertain times, we run to the God for refuge, because He alone can save us from our fears and restore our losses.

In a  statement to mark this year's easter festivities, he explained victory is not one that occurs in the absence of trouble but that which is confirmed even in the midst of trouble. 

The psalmist affirms in the 46th Psalm when he intimated;

 “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn”(Psalm 46:1-5, NKJV)

EASTER 2021 MESSAGE
 OUR 2ND COVID EASTER

Message from Apostle Dr. Aaron Ami-Narh

(President, The Apostolic Church – Ghana)

This is our second Easter in this COVID-19 era. In the midst of these restrictions and hardships, we can still look at the better side of life and declare“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us”(Romans 8:37NKJV).

Our victory is not one that occurs in the absence of trouble but that which is confirmed even in the midst of trouble. The psalmist affirms in the 46th Psalm when he intimated;

 

“God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though its waters roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling.

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,

The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;

God shall help her, just at the break of dawn”(Psalm 46:1-5, NKJV)

In these uncertain times, we run to the God of all certainties for refuge, for He alone can save us from our fears and restore our losses.

Let us choose not to allow the significance of this season to be lost on us. The pandemic has stolen a lot of things from us, so we must ensure it does not rob us of the benefits of Easter also. Let us remind ourselves that the most significant thing that ever happened in this life, occurred on a cross. It was the savage crucifixion of a sinless man by sinful people, who had no idea that He was dying in their place. Easter is the period where we remember this great sacrifice of love and appropriate its blessings.

JESUS DID IT FOR YOU

It is true that Jesus died for the whole world, but, one thing we forget is that Jesus died particularly for you, because there is no respect of persons with Him. He does not discriminate, so He died equally for you as He did for everyone else. Though you were not born then, He knew you before you were born, and died for your liberty and prosperity. He died for you out of love and His love for you is everlasting.“The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore, with lovingkindness I have drawn you.” (Jeremiah 31:3 NKJV)

He died for us out of love and He is still loving us through the circumstances of this life. No one in this life should ever feel unloved for the Love of Jesus engulfs His creation. No love can ever go beyond the love of Jesus for“greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”(John 15:13 NKJV)

It is this love that we must receive into our lives and also give to others. We live in a broken world and many people feel broken and wounded. Let us extend the love of Christ to all for it is the ‘Balm of Gilead’ that will heal the wounds of frustration that faces this generation.

MAKE IT SAFE

Since the COVID-19 pandemic is still with us, we have to be strategic in how we celebrate this Easter. We should not let our guard down for the virus is not a respecter of festivities. Let us continue to observe the protocols to ensure an incident-free Easter season. Let us make it a time of love and life and not one of death and damage.

I seize this opportunity to pray for our Nation-Ghana, that God will save us from our wounds and heal our land.I ask for Heavenly wisdom and protection for the leaders of this Nation.And I wish all citizens and residents of this great Nation a Happy, Safe and Prosperous Easter season.
