In relation to the 2022 annual credential review, the Assemblies of God, Ghana Eastern Region “B” also held their Annual 2022 Pastors Credential Review meeting at Asamankese in the Eastern Region. The Credential Review took place at Liberty Home AoG. In attendance were the Executive Committee Officers, District Pastors, and other Pastors in the Region.

The Regional Superintendent, Rev. Obed A Asiedu welcomed the Pastors to the credential review and encouraged them to be faithful in the discharge of their Pastoral duties since they will give an account one day. The Special Guest and Chairman of the meeting, Rev. Dr. Simon Abu Baba, the General Treasurer in his exhortation read Matthew 16:18 with the theme: “In The Era Of Revival”.

Rev. Abu Baba explained from the theme that; in the era of revival, the church must note three key characters. That;

1. The church must depend on the Holy Spirit

2. The church must have an intimate relationship with God.

3. The church must operate in Spiritual giftings.

He opined that Christ is building His church, and we need to find out how He is building it so we can partner with Him. He stated that “when we build on secular principles, we get what man can build—a secular church that won’t last (cf. Psalm 127:1). But if we build according to Christ’s principles, we get what God can build—a church that the gates of hades will not prevail against”.
