On Good Friday, April 18, 2025, as Christians around the world commemorated the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the Action Power of Faith Ministries worldwide inaugurated a three-day convention. The event marked the beginning of a spiritually charged weekend aimed at reflection, renewal, and reconnection with God.
Dr. Kuuku Dadzie Ephraim, Founder and General Overseer of the Ministry, delivered a stirring message centered on the theme “Demonic Exchange”, with a sermon titled “God’s Gift to Humanity.” Drawing deeply from Genesis chapters 1 and 2, Dr. Ephraim emphasized God’s boundless love for humanity and the comprehensive provisions He made for mankind’s life on Earth.
He painted a vivid picture of the Garden of Eden, where God placed man in a world of abundance—filled with fresh water, nourishing food, healing herbs, natural resources, loving companionship, and dominion over creation. Most significantly, God gave mankind His Word and the promise of eternal life.
Dr. Ephraim likened God’s divine planning to responsible parenting. Just as God ensured every aspect of human well-being was accounted for, he said, parents must be equally intentional. “Parenting isn’t just about bringing children into the world,” he emphasized. “It’s about creating an environment of care, comfort, and stability.” He urged couples to consider their readiness—financially, morally, physically, and emotionally—before starting a family.
However, Dr. Ephraim also delivered a sobering message: despite God’s generous gifts, humanity has often squandered these blessings. He explained that the original “demonic exchange” took place when Adam and Eve failed to appreciate the paradise they were given. Adam, he noted, chose to please his wife rather than obey God, and both succumbed to desires that overrode divine wisdom.
This narrative, he said, mirrors the reckless behavior seen in today’s world. Dr. Ephraim warned that many people continue to live for instant gratification, ignoring the long-term consequences of their actions. He highlighted how financial and sexual indulgence, pursued without accountability, reflects the same careless spirit that led to humanity’s fall in Eden.
Concluding his message, Dr. Ephraim called for a return to responsible living and spiritual alignment. He encouraged the congregation to cherish their relationship with God and commit to living according to His Word. “True peace and lasting fulfillment,” he said, “can only be found in harmony with God’s divine will.”
