The Dean of the Rock Bible Institute, Rev. Israel Mawunu, has urged newly ordained ministers to uphold integrity and commit themselves to genuine kingdom service as they step into their various callings.
Speaking at the 2024/2025 Graduation and 7th Ordination Service of the institute, held at the Agape Power Ministry in Accra, under the theme “Raising Kingdom Impactors,” Rev. Mawunu said the school was established to raise men and women who would make a lasting impact in the body of Christ and in society.
He stressed that the institute prioritises “quality, not quantity,” explaining that its mission is to train dedicated ministers, not those who see the pulpit as a money-making platform.
“The years have been eventful, with those who pass through this school shaping destinies and impacting communities,” he said. “To the graduates, you are sent as ambassadors to bring light to society. Let your life be a testimony of the life of God at work in you.”
Charging the class, he added: “Go forth and make impact in the kingdom of Christ, raising kingdom impactors with integrity.”
This year’s graduates were Pastor Alberta Tawiah, Michael Asare, Pastor Philip Adjei, and Pastor Sampson Boadu.
“Start with the Word” — Rev Chris Anim
Founder and Head Pastor of the Agape Power Ministry, Rev. Chris Anim, delivered the exhortation, drawing his message from John 6:28. He reminded the ministers that the work of God does not begin with outward activities such as preaching, but with deep devotion to Scripture.
“Start with the study of the Word of the Lord and let the Word mould you to teach,” he said.
Rev. Anim described ministry as both “an honourable job and a dangerous one,” insisting that God must be served with reverence and obedience.
“God cannot be served anyhow. If you will not do it His way, keep away,” he cautioned.
He urged the graduates to guard their faith diligently, warning that “the man behind the pulpit is sending many to hell more than sinners.” He advised them not to rush into activities for God, but to first sit, study, and grow in the Word.
“People’s destinies will be in your hands. Don’t rush to do anything for God, sit and study the Word,” he emphasised.
The ceremony drew family, clergy and worshippers who celebrated the new ministers as they prepared to enter service.
