Day 4: Divine service
The four-day Youth Camp reached its spiritual climax with a divine service conducted by Apostle Daniel Frimpong. The Bible text for the service was taken from 1 John 5:8: “And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.”
In his sermon, Apostle Daniel Frimpong explained that there are many witnesses testifying of Jesus Christ. He reminded the youth that salvation is found only in the Lord Jesus Christ and encouraged them to remain obedient to His word, steadfast in the Church, and faithful until the end.
Strength Through the Holy Spirit
The Apostle urged the youth to continually seek the guidance, strength, and companionship of the Holy Spirit, so that they would be empowered to faithfully fulfil God's will and complete their spiritual journey successfully.
Love
Speaking on the importance of love, Apostle Frimpong advised the youth not to harbour hatred, even toward those who may oppose them. Instead, they should demonstrate kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and Christ-like love toward all people.
Unity
He further encouraged the youth to remain united with one another and with the leaders of the Church, emphasizing that unity is essential for the growth, progress, and stability of God's work.
