Members during the divine service
29 October 2016

On his last visit to the Cape Coast Apostle area for the year 2016, Apostle Samuel Oppong-Brenya conducted a divine service at Assin Fosu in the Central Region of Ghana. He used Exodus 20:15 as the basis of his sermon, “Thou shalt not steal.” The Apostle explained that after the fall of man, it is natural that every man should work and feed himself. “Let him that stole, steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needed.” Ephesians 4:28The Apostle narrated various kinds of stealing which is displeasing in the sight of God* Defrauding a neighbor and robbing him of his wages. Leviticus 19:13, Deut. 24:14-15
