Presbyterian Church Of Ghana Hymns Download

[Casio Bauman]

TheAkyem Abuakwa Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), has honoured seven distinguished members of the Church who contributed immensely to the establishment and growth of the Church at a colourful Church Service at Kyebi Presbyterian Church.

As part of the honours a plaque was unveiled in their honour in the Church as well as their tombs at the Basel Mission cemetery at Kyebi rededicated to God by the Moderator of the PCG, Right Reverend Professor J. O. Y. Mante.

The church service was attended by the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin, Nana Dokua, Okyenhemaa, ministers of state and families of the honorees both home abroad.

According to history read in their tributes, Evangelist Emmanuel Yaw Boakye Dankwa, born in 1834 was a state drummer of the then Okyenhene King Amoako-Atta I and was married to Odehyee Susana Akosua Buor Gyankroma, a cousin to the Okyenehene then and they were the parents of Sir Ofori-Atta 1, of the Akyem Abuakwa state.

The couple was baptized into the Presbyterian faith as well as many others from the Ofori-Panin Royal Family and became evangelists, this was seen as a threat to the traditional solidarity of the Royal Family and as a result suffered great deal of persecution and were declared persona non grata at Kyebi.

In 2002, the Basel Mission in Switzerland appointed her as Head of Women and Gender Desk and her duties covered churches in South America, Africa and Asia, unfortunately in 2003 she died in a fatal accident at Peru, while on duty tour.

Dr J. B. Danquah was said to be a staunch Presbyterian that even on campaign platforms, he sang the famous Presbyterian hymns, whiles Opanyin Thomas Kani made important contributions to the recording of the Presbyterian Church history and teaching of its music.

He applauded the PCG for the decision to honour them in such manner and urged members of the Presbyterian faith to follow the examples of the heroes by loving one another and giving cheerfully to enhance the kingdom of Christ.

He recalled that history had it that one of the painful persecution Evangelist Yaw Boakye and his wife Odehyee Susana Gyankromaa suffered was that whiles they were running from their persecutors at Asuom, their four-month old baby fell from her back and died.

He therefore reminded the congregation that there was blessing in the service of God and that what mattered in life was being committed and diligent to the things of God and goodness and mercies shall follow.

Rev. Dr. Seth Kissi, Chairperson of the Akyem Abuakwa Presbytery, said the day was set aside to celebrate their courage, foresight, leadership and boldness in their struggles as pacesetters and pathfinders in many aspects of the ministry of the PCG, and the building of the nation.

He noted that as part of the celebration, the Presbytery had decided to build a museum to be named after Y. B. Dankwah which will be a one-stop center for information on all personalities and places of historical, missionary and ecclesiastical significance where visitors will learn the history of these great men and women.

President Akufo-Addo later, pledged GH50,000.00 as his personal contribution to the construction of the Yaw Boakye Dankwa Museum. His action was followed by many others from the Ofori-Atta descent including the Minister for Finance, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta and Minister for Works and Housing Mr Samuel Atta-Akyea.

Our houses of worship often host special services. My local church has one the Sunday night before the Thanksgiving holiday. Most churches that I know will celebrate this incredible theme, on point with millions together in our nation. We truly are a blessed nation and blessed to live here in America! It is a special opportunity to pray and sing this month with Thanksgiving on our lips and in our hearts.

In 1755, Robert Robinson went to a revival meeting to heckle and make fun of the Christians but found his faith instead, by hearing a sermon that night from George Whitfield. Later, Robinson entered the ministry and penned one of our favorite hymns. Every blessing comes from God, even when we have other expectations or agendas.

This song broke through right as the 1980s produced the Praise and Worship movement. Contemporary worship became mainstream with an album by Integrity Music and the rest is history. This song is still sung all over the world!

After reading Philippians chapter 2, Tim Hughes reflected on the attitude of servanthood Christ displayed and wrote the verses to the song. How do we respond to our God when we approach him? This song offers us a posture of bowing down in humility. If Christ was humble, should not our worship also reflect that, too?

There are few songs that appropriately deal the emotional and circumstances around laments. This song provides that. Not all of us are coming to a Thanksgiving service with gleefulness. Loss is a real part of our lives this side of heaven. As we bring our offering of thanks, something we need to honestly offer it in the pain our very real circumstance.

Essential worship artist Vertical Worship Band is based at the Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago. The idea of not only thanking God for the past but also the future is present in this song. With uncertainty, we can look to the past and trust God with our future.
