The founder and minister in charge of Paradise Chapel Ministry, Pastor Ernest Quansah has advised would be pastors to first consider their level of spiritual maturity in God before going into the establishment of a church, because according to him, it is a venture with a lot of temptations.
Speaking on the planned 2nd Anniversary of the ministry scheduled for 10th August this year at Gomoa Beseadze in the Central Region, Pastor Quansah hinted that church planting requires the endorsement of God based on the person’s spiritual maturity, as he said most men of God who ventured into it have failed because of their low level of spiritually in God.
He mentioned women, finance and lack of knowledge in humanity as some of the major challenges in church establishment.
He further warned men of God not to rush into casting out demons if they are not controlled by the holy spirit, as they may in turn find themselves cast out by the demon, which hw noted often lead to the downfall of some men of God.
According to him, a man of God can survive such temptation if he has a supportive wife, and has therefore admonished wives of men of God not to cease praying for their husbands, especially in such challenging times.
Meanwhile, a school established by the church, Paradise Pastures Academy, is to hold its maiden Graduation ceremony on the 1st of August this year.
Established with only four kids, the school now has a population of over two hundred children, with nine teaching staff. According to Pastor Ernest Quansah, his vision is to transform the school into a theological seminary in the future.
