SESSION OF THE CONGREGATION

 

History

Hour of consuming fire miracle ministry

“God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise” and “the Weak things of the world to shame the strong”. After an intensive studying and dedicated service at the Ghana Bible Institute- Church of God (institution) at santaasi a suburb in Kumasi. I graduated with a Diploma in Theology in the year of our lord two thousand and three. Due to my humble submission to the will of Christ our savior and having been excelled in the study of theology, the church requested my services to serve at the church for a period of time. In two thousand and five I took a sabbatical leave whiles waiting on God for the direction of my life. Seeking the face of God for his direction and guidance, God spoke to me of a vision to start a new ministry. The Holy Spirit reveal a community in Accra called Alajo, and where the people there has lost faith and needed to be uplifted from this bondage and through the wisdom of Christ and divinity.

At Alajo, the church started with a minute number of five (5) congregations of people, worshiping under a tree. As days pass by, the number of people who attend church services increases. The church now have to resort onto hiring mountable shades (canopies) to house the increasing number of people who hears the call of God. By the grace, a year later as the church multiplies in numbers, the congregation decided to put up a permanent worshiping place for the church. Spearheading these divine dream come through happened under the leadership of the visionary of the ministry with the support of Madam Georgina Arhin of blessed memory. She supported by organizing FUND RAISING EVENTS to raise funds to support the building of the church in 2007.

Due to this magnificent milestone, the church leadership had to register with the register generals department as a faith based organization that seeks the spiritual well being through divinity and bringing hope to the hopeless minority in slums and poor neighborhoods.

Notwithstanding the challenges we face as a church including the ups and downs. Most have to do with groups of different faith and believe. “Glory be to God, the church grows tremendously to over 400 members.
