𝗔𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗿. 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗞𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗮 & 𝘄𝗶𝗳𝗲, 𝗠𝗿𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗮 𝗡𝘁𝘂𝗺𝘆 Retires

Apostle Dr. Michael Kwabena Ntumy, the former Chairman of the Church of Pentecost Worldwide from 1998 to 2008 got retired from active ministry today in Germany after serving in full time ministry for 39 years. In a colourful event to mark his retirement saw the current chair of the church, Apostle Eric Kwabena Nyamekye, grace the occasion with some executive members. 

Still with an iota of hope to convalesce from his immobility, Apostle Ntumy rocked his wheelchair clouded by his family and members to bid him farewell. He recently celebrated his 65th birthday. His woes started after his tenure as the chairman of the church of Pentecost.  

Recounting his ordeal, Apostle Dr. Ntumy opine how he underwent a surgical operation on his cervical spine where doctors told him he would lose the use of his hands and feet between three to six days after the surgery but things went south as predicted and has now resulted in the use of an electric wheelchair for his daily business. He recounted how he spent a total of 209 days in hospital in 2009, and then further spent 123 days the following year in the hospital for various therapies. 

On February 2nd, 2009 , the former president of the Ghana Pentecostal Council, Apostle Dr. Michael Kwabena Ntumy woke up from an anaesthetic sleep in a Paris hospital paralyzed from shoulders down. According to him, his life seemed to hang in balance especially when people lost hope for his life and recovery because for 27 days he was glued to his bed in an intensive ward.

His strong faith in the Lord is what keeps him moving and on his 54th birthday he wrote an article which talked about all the trials his being through and how he’s been saved by the Lord, so he believes this is just one of the obstacles he needs to conquer in his life. “As I ponder and reflect over the course of my life so far, I realize the exceptional grace God has bestowed on me. I am not going to talk about promotion, position, power, achievements, and accomplishments. I am going to share with you about troubles, trials, and tears, interlaced with amazing triumphs and testimonies resulting in thanksgiving to God. The enemy of our souls forgets that his orchestrations against us rather result in the praise of God in the long run. In fact, Apostle Paul said, “𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘴𝘵, 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴--2 𝘊𝘰𝘳 11:30”.

However, there is an INVISIBLE HAND THAT HOLDS, SUSTAINS and NOURISHES US. THROUGH IT ALL, being kept by THE POWER OF GOD. Come, beloved, praise the LORD with me. THANK GOD FOR THE GIFT OF MY LIFE. He has upheld me very tenaciously through it all. Crushed, but not destroyed. Stand with me in prayer as I go through this phase of my life, doing business for the Kingdom of God even though this “out of season” period. Believe with me that the expected miracle shall take place soon for His glory. All these could not have happened for naught. God is definitely up to something.
