In the end the teachers who are supposed to be role models turn out to do the reverse of what they are supposed to advise the teachers against”, she said.<br /> <br /> “GNAT has taken note of their problems and after sometime we give bursaries to these teachers in order to avert a recurrence of these practices.<br /> <br /> “It is not that they are interested in profligate lifestyles, the fact is that they are hungry and need to survive in order to discharge their duties as teachers in the schools they have been posted to which results in some of these unfortunate behaviours”, she explained.<br /> <b><br /></b> <b>Listen to Madam Victoria Affram speaking to Kaba</b><br /> <br /> <audio autoplay="1" controls="1" height="35" id="mp3_newsaudio" width="100%"> <source src="http://ghanapa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/female_teachers.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></source> Your browser does not support HTML5 Audio on OFMTV.COM </audio> <br /> <br /> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- GhanaSky300x600 --> <br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8056307156935078" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="5724500149" id="AXZWQETY" style="display: block;"></ins><script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> <br /> <br /> Source: KWAKU NTI <br /> <div> <br /></div>

The doctor told him he would lose the use of his hands and feet for between three to six days after the surgery but things did not turn out well as predicted and has now resulted in the use of an electric wheelchair.<br /> <br /> Although it’s been years since he got paralysed, Apostle Dr. Ntumy is not discouraged and hopes to recover soon. His therapies are going on well as he has recovered the use of his right hand as well as the partial mobility and sensitivity of both legs and his left hand.<br /> <br /> According to him, the expected walking is still being awaited as he continues to use the electric wheelchair and wishes the process of recovery was faster but he’s immediately being reminded by a “still, small voice” that tells him to leave the timing of his recovery to God and allow Him (God) work according to the times and seasons He has set in accordance with His sovereign will and purpose.<br /> <br /> His strong faith in the Lord is what keeps him moving and on his 54th birthday he wrote an article which talked about all the trials his being through and how he’s been saved by the Lord, so believes this is just one of the obstacles he needs to conquer in his life.<br /> <br /> Read the article he wrote on his 54th birthday.<br /> <br /> As I ponder and reflect over the course of my life so far, I realize the exceptional grace God has bestowed on me. I am not going to talk about promotion, position, power, achievements and accomplishments. I am going to share with you about troubles, trials and tears, interlaced with amazing triumphs and testimonies resulting in thanksgiving to God. The enemy of our souls forgets that his orchestrations against us rather result to the praise of God in the long run.<br /> <br /> In fact, Apostle Paul said that if he had to boast, he would rather boast about his sufferings for the sake of Christ. My catalogue, however, does not come anywhere near that of Apostles.<br /> <br /> 1. Been through four wars (Two in Northern Ghana, one each in Liberia and Ivory Coast) Charles Gangay Taylor, Leader of Liberia’s NPFL<br /> <br /> 2. Taken hostage for 163 days in the heart of the Nimba Forest in Liberia by Charles Taylor’s NPFL rebels while serving as missionary in that country<br /> <br /> 3. Survived three accidents— two on the road, one on the Volta Lake in Ghana. A Vessel On The Volta Lake<br /> Surely if my life were in my own hands, I would have lost it long ago.<br /> <br /> 4. Survived an assassination attempt on my life while serving as the youngest-ever Chairman of The Church of Pentecost.<br /> <br /> 5. Survived two food poisoning attempts against me<br /> <br /> 6. Tasted hospitalization for 332 days in 2009/2010<br /> <br /> 7. Tasting the pains and agonies of paralysis for 1,211 days (to date), moving about in an electric wheelchair.<br /> <br /> However, there is an INVISIBLE HAND THAT HOLDS, SUSTAINS and NOURISHES US. THROUGH IT ALL, being kept by THE POWER OF GOD.<br /> <br /> Come, beloved, praise the LORD with me.<br /> <br /> THANK GOD FOR THE GIFT OF MY LIFE. He has upheld me very tenaciously through it all.Crushed, but not destroyed.<br /> <br /> Stand with me in prayer as I go through this phase of my life, doing business for the Kingdom of God even through this “out of season” period.<br /> <br /> Believe with me that the expected miracle shall take place soon for His glory.<br /> <br /> All these could not have happened for nought.

This Pentecostal church claims worldwide about 20,000 congregations with more than 3 million members.<br /> <br /> The Church’s beginnings are linked to the ministry of Pastor James McKeown (1900-1989), an Irish missionary sent by the Apostolic Church, Bradford, UK to the then Gold Coast (now Ghana) in 1937 to help a group of believers of the Apostolic Faith in Asamankese.<br /> <br />  In June 1937, Rev. James McKeown was seriously ill with malaria and was kept in his room at Asamankese for some days without medication in accordance with the rules, beliefs and practices of the Apostolic Faith.<br /> <br />  The District Commissioner took McKeown to the European Hospital – currently, Ridge Hospital – in Accra where he fully recovered after ten days of hospitalised. On his return to Asamankese, he was confronted by the leaders for having violated the rules and principles of the church by seeking for medical attention at a hospital instead of depending on faith healing.<br /> <br /> In June 1938, a general meeting was held by all members from the country to discuss the situation but the leaders at Asamankese refused and condemned McKeown for lack of faith in prayers for divine healing. Due to doctrinal differences based on divine healing, the group split in 1939 into the Christ Apostolic Church and the Apostolic Church, Gold Coast. The latter saw great expansion under McKeown.<br /> In 1953, a constitutional crisis led to the founding of the Gold Coast Apostolic Church led by McKeown. After independence of Ghana in 1957 the Gold Coast Apostolic Church was renamed the Ghana Apostolic Church. The split in 1953 did not end the crisis.<br /> <br /> New conflicts compelled the then President of the Republic of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, to advise the leadership of the Ghana Apostolic Church, to adopt a new name. Therefore, on August 1, 1962, the new name, The Church of Pentecost, legally replaced the Ghana Apostolic Church by Apostle Alphonso Wood.<br /> <div> <br /></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <li>Chairman (International President) of The Church of Pentecost, a vibrant church now operating in 82 countries on all continents (1998-2008).</li> <li>President, Ghana Pentecostal Council, the umbrella organization for over 220 Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches in Ghana (1998-2008)</li> <li>Vice-President/President, Bible Society of Ghana (2000-2008) </li> <li>Chancellor, Pentecost University College (2003-2008)</li> <li>Member, Ghana AIDS Commission (2003-2008)</li> <li>National Award Laureate, ORDER OF THE VOLTA, COMPANION, one of the highest national awards in Ghana (2006)</li> <li>Minister of The Church of Pentecost since 1984</li> <li>Missionary of The Church of Pentecost to Liberia, Ivory Coast, France/Switzerland (1988-1998), Germany (since 2008)</li> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <li><b>AUTHOR OF THE FOLLOWING BOOKS:</b></li> <br /> <ol> <li>Flamingo, The Camp of No Return</li> <li>Rescape de Flamingo, Le Camp de Non-Retour</li> <li>Financial Breakthrough</li> <li>Donner A L'Eternel</li> <li>The Eternal Kingdom of God</li> <li>The Glorious Resurrection of Jesus Christ</li> <li>Coming With Fire: Autobiography</li> <li> Venu Du Feu: Autobiographie</li> <li>Struck Down But Not Killed</li> <li>Reflections: Taking A Second Look At Life</li> <li>No Easy Road: A Pastor's Journey Into Paralysis</li> <li>Achieving Your Dreams: Secrets To Help Turn Your Dreams Into Reality</li> </ol> <br /> <br /> <br /> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- GhanaSky300x600 --> <br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8056307156935078" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-slot="5724500149" id="AXZWQETY" style="display: block;"></ins><script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> <br /> <br /> <h2> The Church of Pentecost doctrine and beliefs:</h2> The church of Pentecost's doctrines and beliefs are based on the following tenets:<br />     1. THE BIBLE: The divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scriptures. That the Bible is infallible in its declaration, final in its authority, all-sufficient in its provisions and comprehensive in its sufficiency (2 Ti. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21).<br /> <br />     2. THE ONE TRUE GOD: The existence of the One True God, Maker of the whole universe; indefinable, but revealed as Trinity Godhead - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - one in nature, essence and attributes; Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent (Ge 1:1; Mt. 3:16-17; 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14).<br /> <br />     3. MAN'S DEPRAVED NATURE: All people have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We are subject to eternal punishment and need repentance and regeneration (Gen. 3:1-19; Isa. 53:6).<br /> <br />     4. THE SAVIOUR: Man's need of a Saviour has been met in the person of Jesus Christ, because of His deity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, resurrection and ascension, His abiding intercession and second coming (Mt. 1:21; Jn. 4:42; Eph. 5:23; Phil. 2:6-11).<br /> <br />     5. REPENTANCE, REGENERATION, JUSTIFICATION AND SANCTIFICATION: All people have to repent of and confess their sins before God and believe in the vicarious death of Jesus Christ to be justified before God. We believe in the sanctification of the believer through the working of the Holy Spirit and in God's gift of Eternal Life to the believer (Lk. 15:7; Ac. 2:38; Ro. 4:25; 5:16, 1 Co. 1:30; 1 Th. 4:3).<br /> <br />     6. THE ORDINANCES (SACRAMENTS) OF THE CHURCH: The Ordinance of Baptism by immersion is a testimony of a convert who has attained a responsible age of about 15 years. [Infants and children are not baptised but are dedicated to the Lord].<br /> <br /> - The Ordinance of the Lord's Supper which should be partaken of by all members who are in full fellowship (Mt. 28:19, 20; Mk. 16:16; Lk. 22:19-20).<br /> <br />     7. BAPTISM, GIFT AND FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: The Baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers with signs following; and in the operation of the gifts and the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers (Mk. 16:17; Ac. 2:4; 1 Co. 12:8-11; Gal. 5:22, 23).<br /> <br />     8. THE SECOND COMING AND THE NEXT LIFE: The Resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved. Those who are saved to the resurrection of life, and the unsaved to the resurrection of damnation (Mk. 13:26; Da. 12:2; Jn. 5:28, 29; Ac. 1:11; 10:42; Ro. 2:7-11; 6:23).<br /> <br />     9. TITHES AND OFFERINGS: Tithing and in the giving of free-will offerings towards the cause of carrying forward the Kingdom of God. We believe that God blesses a cheerful giver (Ge. 14:18-20; 28:20-22; Mal. 3:6-10; Mt. 23:23; Ac. 20:35; 1 Co. 16:1-3; 2 Co. 9:1-9).<br /> <br />     10. DIVINE HEALING: The healing of sickness and disease is provided for God's people in the atonement. The Church is, however, not opposed to soliciting the help of qualified medical practitioners (2 Ki. 20:7; Mt. 9:12; Lk. 10:34; Col. 4:14).<br /> <br /> <strong>Source: <a href="http://ghanapa.com/" rel="dofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GhanaPa.com - The Goodness News Portal</a> </strong>
