Why being Pentecostal Matters to Me

I, Annie, was born and raised in a Christian family and attended Sunday school as a child. During that time, I would only read Genesis chapter 1 and could not read any further as I found it extremely hard to understand the King James

Version of the bible. At Sunday school we were required to recite bible verses and each week my brothers and sisters would write a verse for me and I would practice all week. This was how I got to know the scriptures but frankly speaking I did not understand them at all. At the age of fourteen, I gave my life to Christ and was baptised in a local river in my hometown. My faith grew and I began to understand God’s word better and would attend youth conferences away from home. Chiko accepted Christ in January 2015 and was baptised on 31 March 2016 here at College Street NTCG. She is seeking the Pentecostal experience of the Holy Spirit baptism. As Pentecostals, we have learnt to live and walk by faith and not by sight as the world does. Knowing that Jesus conquered death on the cross at Calvary gives us the hope that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. I believe however, that young people today, as older folks, need to know the simple truth of the Gospel of Christ regardless of denominational expressions. As long as the denomination believes in the Trinity, water and Holy Spirit baptism, resurrection and the preaching of the undiluted Word of God to suit worldly lifestyles, we are at liberty to choose to belong to a denomination that helps our spiritual growth. However, being Pentecostal matters to us because it gives us the freedom to worship God in the power and freedom of the Holy Spirit. We can quietly worship and pray in our hearts while in the places that others would not see as appropriate worship places. There are no rituals for worship and

praying that one is required to follow. We can be creative in our worship. Pentecostalism teaches us to live according to the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the principles laid down in the Word of God. The Holy Spirit gives us strength and wisdom to manage the challenges we face in life in ways that exceed our expectations. As a Pentecostal mother I have learnt to intercede for my daughter and have witnessed answers to my prayers. During a time of unemployment I sought the Lord’s wisdom in earnest and today I am a witness of the power of the Holy Spirit led prayer. My experience of Pentecostalism at College Street meets my expectations because the church believes in God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. We also believe in water baptism and speaking in tongues. During the services, there is freedom to worship as the Holy Spirit leads and lives are being touched and transformed. Chiko is still learning as she grows and some day she will be able to give her own account of the Pentecostal experience. Pentecostalism at College Street is not limited within the church walls and it’s extended to the local community and even abroad through missions. Voluntary feeding of the homeless and donations are given to national charities and to other charities carrying out building projects outside the UK to help the less privileged. The Word of God teaches us not to be selfish but to look out for one another and in doing this we are extending God’s love to God’s people. All Committed Christians seek to serve the Lord outside of the Church but Pentecostals in my experience bring a richer dimension to ministry and mission of the Christian witness especially when the Holy Spirit unctions us to speak to individuals, powers and principalities in society and bring about change for the better.
