By Uzo Ugwunze

The chairman of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria(PFN), Idemili North Local Government Area, Rev. Emeka Elukposi, has condemned attempts by some clerics to substitute Holy spirit with diabolical powers.

Rev. Elukposi made the remarks during an interdenominational service to mark the Pentecost Sunday at Deeper life Camp ground Obosi, INLGA, Anambra State.

He described Pentecost as the advent of the HolySpirit adding that no diabolical power can substitute or compete with the power of the Holy ghost.

“Pentecost was the day the Holy ghost fell upon the believers while praying together. Our Lord Jesus Christ promised believers of that Gift – the HolySpirit. That day the Holy ghost came upon the believers and lived with them till today. We are actually enjoying the Holy ghost.

“Nothing can substitute the Holy ghost. So called ministers who use different means or fetish powers to float a ministry are not called by God. Some go into ministry for their belly, selfish interest and material acquisition.

“When they see other pastors flourishing or enjoying some benefits they rush into ministry and want to become rich overnight. If they cannot get what they want immediately, they start looking for other diabolical means to gather crowd and get their money.

“Some do not have patience. You can not just be called today and you are swimming in riches tomorrow. They forget that a minister must be tested, pass through trials and phases of ministry. You have to work before you eat. Some want to eat before they start working.

“Benefits of the HolySpirit is the gifts of the holy spirit, manifestation of power. Healing, favor, comfort, encouragement, information, leadership, strengthening against challenges of life.

“Every child of God needs the HolySpirit,it is not limited to Bishop, Pastor alone but for everyone but it starts with being born again- accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior.
Holy ghost is the seal of our salvation.

Earlier in his sermon themed “Anointed With Fresh Oil (Psalm 92 vs 7 – 10)’ the Anambra State PFN Chairman, Bishop Moses Ezedebego emphasized on the need for a believer to be anointed by the HolySpirit to enable the person overcome the numerous challenges of life in a world that lieth in wickedness.

“No matter how people celebrate you, if you don’t have Jesus, your future is bleak.

“Anointing is the hope of a believer and anointing makes the difference in our society where men are speedily going back to idol worship, believers are getting tired, People are questioning the reality of God and heaven.

“Despite the situation on ground David was thanking God for Excess power.and anointing. Christians need a fresh baptism of the Holy spirit, Fresh Oil, exalted horn for spiritual authority and dominion,” said Ezedebego.

Also, ,Rev Gilbert Ihemnacho Chairman Organizing Committee said: “We are remembering the outpouring of the Holy ghost or HolySpirit baptism upon 120 disciples at the upper room to enable them spread the gospel all over the world.

“Pentecost was the day christians received the power for harvest to enable them take the gospel to the ends of the earth. The challenges of evangelization is lack of power of the HolySpirit but today we were empowered,” he said.

A PFN Stakeholder, Bishop Onyeka Nzekwesi of Pineleaf Estate Homes Ltd who contributed on the significance of pentecost via telephone interview maintained that the real power of the HolyGhost is with the sons and daughters of the Most High God saying that anyone using diabolical means was never a man of God, lacks knowledge and is a fool.

“Any person who uses diabolical means in ministry has to import and please millions of gods. Maybe god of pleasure, god of healing, god of protection and at some point the evil forces will clash and destroy the person but the Almighty God is all in one. He has all the powers and you have only him alone to please,” said Nzekwesi.

Archbishop Nzekwesi further described the immediate past INLGA PFN Chairman, Pastor Ifeanyichukwu Enekwachi who was honored during the Pentecost service as a man of integrity and decorum who has died to self so that Christ can live through him.

“Pastor Enekwachi understands brotherly and agape love, accommodates everybody and his transparency is top notch”.

Highlight of service include the appreciation of the immediate past chairman, Pastor Ifeanyichukwu Enekwachi who was honored with his wife for outstanding service during their tenure as the INLGA PFN Chairman and Women Coordinator respectively.

The INLGA PFN Chairman Rev Emeka Elukposi eulogized the Enekwachi couple for their selfless, exemplary and fruitful service urging others to emulate him.

According to the PFN Secretary INLGA, Pastor Dr. Mathew Ugbo ,In a time when the flame of our fellowship flickered low, And the altar groaned beneath silence and fading echoes, God raised a man—Pst Ifeanyichukwu Elekwachi-
A shepherd with the heart of compassion and the roar of a lion. He came not with empty noise but with vision that burns, With courage carved from divine conviction, To resurrect a council once sinking beneath shadows.

“Like Nehemiah before the ruins he surveyed the broken walls of PFN Idemili North. And with faith forged in furnace, he rebuilt what looked like already broken lifting the banner of PFN high above the Land. Through his hands the fellowship was revived , renewed and revered. He shattered the wings of poverty- Not with speeches, but in systems. He penetrated the nooks and crannies, Streets, villages, corners, of Idemili Nort Establishing PFN’s presence like the morning dew upon the earth,” said Ugbo.

The immediate past INLGA PFN Chairman, Pst Ifeanyichukwu Enekwachi flanked by his wife, Pastor Mrs Victoria Ifeanyichukwu Enekwachi expressed his profound gratitude to God and leadership of PFN for deeming it fit to appreciate his services which spanned between March 21st, 2020 to February 2025.

I was the PFN Chairman of Awada ward 1, and I created Awada ward 2 before I became Chairman of Idemili North and opened up so many wards/branches.
God gave me a name ‘Ebubechukwuuzo’ on December 3, 2023. My secret which I do advise leaders to apply was that I set God first. For one to enjoy a lasting success in leadership or anything else, you have to rely on God not by human wisdom but divine wisdom.

My achievements include: breaking denominational barriers, I united the churches, I made PFN a household name in INLGA, I brought prosperity by encouraging skill acquisition and realtorship for real estate business. I taught pastors on the need to have a second address(tent making), work, do not rely on people’s seed sowing to fend for your family. I also attracted money from the state government which PFN INLGA used to acquire a property at Amansea, Awka. I thought them love. I led by example and my word was my bond.,” said Enekwachi.
