Pastor John Prosper Nuvi of the Living Word Teaching Ministry at Ashaiman Down in the Greater Accra Region and Dzodze in the Ketu North Municipality of the Volta Region has been ordained and elevated to the rank of Prophet in a colourful ceremony held at the Ashaiman Down congregation. The event drew a large gathering of church members, relatives, friends, and well-wishers from across the country, including the Volta Region, who came to celebrate his spiritual elevation.
The ordination was officiated by Apostle Paul Asare Agbebo, Founder and Head Pastor of the Ministry, who led Pastor Nuvi through the sacred rites of his elevation. The ceremony was marked by joy and thanksgiving, with gospel music, praise and worship, prayer sessions, and spirited ministration uplifting the congregation. In his sermon, Apostle Agbebo urged Christians to live righteous lives in accordance with the teachings of Christ and reminded church leaders to serve as role models by demonstrating humility, integrity, and commitment.
Speaking directly to the newly ordained Prophet, Apostle Agbebo emphasized that the prophetic office comes with great responsibilities and challenges. He encouraged him to remain steadfast in faith, focused on his divine calling, and dedicated to advancing the Kingdom of God. He also offered guidance to the congregation, stressing unity, obedience, and devotion to God’s word.
Prophet Nuvi, in his response, expressed deep gratitude to God for the honour of serving in His vineyard. He described his ordination as a call to greater responsibility and pledged to win more souls for Christ while supporting the spiritual growth of believers. He assured the congregation of his commitment to diligent service, declaring, “With His grace and guidance, I will continue to work diligently in His service and contribute to the spread of the Gospel.”
The ceremony included a special anointing session where Prophet Nuvi ministered to members with oil, praying for healing, favour, and empowerment. Certificates were presented to mark his successful ordination, and in a symbolic gesture of honour, Apostle Agbebo removed his own necklace and adorned Prophet Nuvi with it, drawing admiration from the congregation.
The event concluded with prayers, thanksgiving, and goodwill messages from family, friends, and church leaders, all wishing the newly ordained Prophet success in his expanded ministry. Prophet Nuvi, aged thirty-two, has completed two years of Theology Studies at the Bible School of the Living Word Teaching Ministry in Ashaiman in 2026.
Beyond his pastoral duties, he is also a herbalist who treats ailments with the support of prayer and faith in Christ as the ultimate healer.
