Members of the Ghanaian Community of witnessed a service that rose far above routine worship and entered the realm of divine interruption. Reverend Mensah Dzifanu Agbenya did not merely preach; he detonated a message that demanded attention, stirred dormant gifts, and confronted every excuse that keeps believers from living lives that matter. His theme, LIVING THE LIFE THAT MAKES IMPACT, became a prophetic charge that settled heavily on every heart.
From the opening line, Reverend Agbenya made it clear that God is not impressed by potential but by fruit. Drawing from John 15:8, he declared that the Father is glorified only when His children bear much fruit. He invoked Acts 13:25–26 to remind the church that David fulfilled his assignment to his generation and was preserved from corruption because he lived on purpose. Jeremiah 29:11 echoed through the sanctuary as a reminder that God’s plans are not vague hopes but deliberate intention for good. Even Job’s story resurfaced as a testament that God sets boundaries around His own: “Touch everything, but do not touch his life.”
The message’s central burden was unmistakable: every believer carries divine deposits that must be identified, developed, and deployed. Reverend Agbenya insisted that a gift unused is a river blocked, but a gift released becomes a channel through which God pours healing, provision, and expansion. He confronted the silent enemies of destiny, which are, fear, self‑condemnation, negative self‑diagnosis, and warned the congregation not to become adversaries to their own calling.
A gripping testimony brought the room to a standstill. He recounted a destitute family of four, the husband earning only fifty dollars a month, surviving on almost nothing. A simple offering of three hundred and fifty dollars became the turning point that restored dignity, health, and hope. It was a vivid demonstration that when a believer releases what is in their hand, God releases what is in His.
Reverend Agbenya walked the congregation through the diversity of spiritual gifts, wisdom, knowledge, faith, healings, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, interpretation, and the ministry offices that shape the church. Every member, he emphasized, has a place. Every gift has a purpose. Every life carries divine intent. His declarations rang with authority: “You are the light sent to the church.” “Deploy your gifts.” “God will not allow you to fall into evil hands.” “Your end will be better than your beginning.”
The service rose to another dimension when Minister Evelyn Agbenya and her daughter, Eyram, ushered the congregation into a tender, Spirit‑filled moment of worship. Harmonies on “What a Mighty God We Serve,” followed by an intimate call‑and‑response exchange between the two voices, created a sacred stillness that settled over the room. Awe, grace, and gratitude flowed freely as they declared in songs, “We can see,” “We can tell,” and “All my days I will sing Your praise.” It was worship that did not entertain but transformed.
The message concluded with a call to action that left no room for passivity. Identify a gift and use it this week. Bless someone in need, even with the little you have. Replace fear with faith. Pray for others. Ask God to excavate anything blocking your fruitfulness. Declare protection, expansion, and divine purpose over your life.
This was not just another Sunday. It was a commissioning. A reminder that God does not create accidents, He creates answers. And last Sunday , Reverend Agbenya reminded every soul present that they were born to make impact. Now go and bear much fruit.
