"Eternal life is found only in Jesus Christ because there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved," Apostle Eric Nyamekye, the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, has said.

Explaining how this is an inescapable truth, the Chairman read 1 John 5:9-12 and said that God Himself testified about His Son, Jesus Christ, as the only source of salvation and eternal life for mankind, stressing that, "whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life."

Since God wanted to make the salvation and the eternal life in His Son very clear so that no generation is confused, Apostle Nyamekye further explained that He (God) guaranteed the testimony with an oath because oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all arguments (Hebrews 6:13-19).

The revered theologian also quoted Philippians 2:5-11 and Hebrews 1:4, to further establish that Jesus, being the only Saviour of the world is premised on the fact that He is highly exalted and made superior to all by God.

He added: "Jesus' name is superior to all other names and at the mention of His name every knee bows and every tongue confesses the Lordship of Christ to the glory of God. The Bible says whosoever shall call upon that name shall be saved. If it is not about Jesus, you cannot be saved; this is the word of God and this is what we call the Gospel."

He further said that the Gospel is salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ and whoever tries to pervert the Gospel and turn the verdict is eternally condemned (Galatians 1:6-9; Deuteronomy 17:8-12).

Apostle Eric Nyamekye was speaking on PENT TV during a Special Evening Service on Sunday, May 3, 2020, as part of his series on "Living A Victorious Christian Life."

In his sermon on the topic "Confidence In The Law Of The Lord", the Chairman impressed on believers to be confident in the law of the Lord which is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

According to him, the law, which was passed on the cross, has not only set believers free from the law or the power of sin and death but it also propels them to live victorious life and walk on this planet earth like Jesus did.

Using an analogy of slavery, which was abolished by Abraham Lincoln to back his message, Apostle Nyamekye was emphatic that the power of sin which made mankind slaves to the devil was completely dealt with by Jesus Christ on the cross.

"The power of sin over us which hooked us to the devil's yoke was effectively destroyed by the anointing; the Bible says by the anointing the yoke is broken," he stressed.

He, however, said that though the slave is free, he might still be kept on the master's plantation if he is ignorant of the abolition of slavery and unwilling to move away from the master.

Dwelling on the unwillingness of the slave to leave the plantation, the Chairman opined that being fully aware of the abolition of slavery, the slave might not leave the plantation because of sense of insecurity. This, he explained, the slave becomes skeptical about the provisions of the new law which has set him free if he leaves the master.

Apostle Nyamekye explained that just like the slave, some Christians are unwilling to break free from the devil because of a sense of insecurity, thinking that the law of the Lord which has liberated them is not able to hold them and grant them a good future. This, he attributed to the deceptions of the devil.

"The devil cast doubt on their minds on what God has said. He is a deceiver who always questions what God has said and cast doubt on the totality or security of what God has said. This creates some kind of fear in the new believer that paralysis his will in fully submitting to God's pleasure," he pointed out.

Reading from 1 Samuel 16:1-2, the Chairman further indicated that insecurity coupled with the fear of people, past, future and evil also restrain Christians from breaking free and hold on to the law of the Lord. "Samuel, being a judge, priest and prophet of the people of Israel was afraid of Saul after God Himself had spoken to him to go and anoint David as king over Israel. He was not too sure whether God who has sent him would be able to deliver him from the hands of Saul," he noted.

Apostle Nyamekye also cited examples of various Bible figures like Aaron, Sarah, Peter, among others, who out of fear did what was wrong in the sight of God and urged Christians to have confidence in the word of God and the law of the Lord because their salvation is complete and secure in the Lord, stressing that "the law of the Lord is sure and solid; it delivers us and prospers us."

He further added that since the law was passed by God Himself, it is supreme to be challenged or overturned because it is forever settled in heaven (Romans 7:24-25; 8:1-3).

He, therefore, encourged Christians to act upon the law of the Lord forcefully regardless of the schemes of the devil because the law is in their favour with a package (Psalm 19:7-11).

"Salvation is a package; when we are born again we receive eternal life; life in abundance. Our future is in the salvation that we have received; our prosperity is in the law so act upon it. Don't start crying, once the law is on your side, act upon it forcefully.

People talk about the ancestral curses; it doesn't matter because the devil was not destroyed; he was not killed so he is going to destroy you but enforce the law.

He will test you whether you understand the law or not. But in the law, the devil is under your feet. It is not about the forces in your family; it is your ability to enforce the law and signs and wonders will follow you.

Be willing to follow and trust in the law of the Lord. Once you are born again don't be afraid of people, evil, future but religiously follow the law of the Lord and seek to please Him. Be victorious Christian and let us build a glorious Church," Apostle Eric Nyamekye concluded.
