RELATIONSHIPS, PRE-MARITAL (BEFORE MARRIAGE) AND MARITAL COUNSELING: WHO IS THE RIGHT PERSON AND GOD’S CHOSEN PARTNER FOR ME?

Rev. Dr. Andrew Ankamah is very gifted in the area of relationships including before and after marriage.  There are high divorce rates and great turmoil around the world. Most marriages occur without involving God and in the end, the union between the couple suffers or breakdown. As a result, there is much single parenthood across the world and in the United States. There are abusive relationships and even to certain extents murder of the entire family by one partner or murder-suicide which are all on the rise. Making the right choice is only possible under the direction of God. What one may think is their soul-mate may actually be their “death sentence”, sadly. Humans make mistakes, but thank goodness, God does not make mistakes.  Depend on God and you will have a happy union until death separates you both or until Jesus comes for all of us.

HOMELESS:

Jesus himself was “homeless”.  “And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” Matthew 8:20 (NKJV). Jesus therefore requires us to care for the homeless. At HOFMPA, it is our mission to do so.

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. Psalm 68:5 (KJV). Widows group is to encourage one another as they continue to serve the Lord.

REPENTANCE OF SINS AND BAPTISM:

John the Baptist, Jesus and in all biblical accounts, baptism with water was by immersion.

Anyone who received baptism by sprinkling of water over their heads should be encouraged to be baptized by immersion.

TRAINING, EQUIPPING AND EMPOWERING LEADERS:

Jesus had the thirteen apostles and many other disciples followed him.  Many were sent to other parts of the world during and after Jesus’ time to preach the gospel to the Captives, Gentiles and other unbelievers. It is extremely important to train leaders in today’s church to be apostles, prophets or prophetess, evangelists, pastors, elders, deacons, deaconesses and many others to serve the Church which is the body of Christ.

EVANGELISM:

The vision of such leadership training is to evangelize and save as many souls as possible since we are in the end times. It is the desire of HOFMPA, Inc. that only Satan and his agents should go to hell, and all humans should go to heaven, provided every human will accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal savior.
