Why Many Men Of God Are Creating Extreme Hardships For Ghanaians

Locusts and wild honey

When men of God go astray, they don’t give good advice and whatever is bad seems good to them. All over the world, including the Vatican City, people serving God and occupying high positions in churches and Cathedrals, continue to disappoint God, through unethical behaviour, immoral actions, with lack of vision, causing suffering to thousands of innocent people.

In Ghana, I see Duncan Williams exactly like Gehazi, the servant of the Prophet Elisha. He witnessed his master performing miracles, including, a childless woman having a child, saw a poisonous pot of stew being purified and made safe to eat but he achieved nothing significant than hatching a devious plan of action to acquire Naaman's gifts after healed of leprosy. A gift which Elisha had previously refused to accept.

Despite hundreds of churches and mosques in Accra, where devoted Christians and Muslims meet to pray and glorify God - Allah, in the midst of hunger, bad economy, collapsed banking institutions, and an extremely bad economy, Duncan Williams was able to deceive Nana Akufo Addo that building a Cathedral in Ghana will miraculously resurrect all the collapsed banking institutions, and put bread and butter on the table of the unemployed.

If Duncan Williams is a true or genuine man of God, he should have known from the beginning that Nana Akufo Addo's decision of building a Cathedral is a very bad idea, the fact that thousands of Ghanaians are suffering, Ghana hospitals lack ambulance, beds, and proper health facilities.

Look at the poor drainage system and waste disposal issues the country is facing, killing many children because of malaria, yet Duncan Williams ignored all these problems and encouraged Nana Addo to go on with the Cathedral?

Duncan Williams encouraged Nana Akufo Addo to build the Cathedral, just as I said earlier because he is just like Gehazi, interested in material things, which he easily acquired one using God's name.

Yes, Duncan Williams used God's name to build all his treasures, including his luxurious residence and cars. His church has hundreds of members who feed him after every collection he makes.

Therefore, there is no way Duncan Williams, a man who has become so rich by using God's name will reject a Cathedral project. Unless he pretends that I am wrong but if he is clever enough, he will humbly accept the mistake he has made.

Duncan Williams can't reject a Cathedral because using God's name has made him what he is today but he has forgotten that thousands of Ghanaians are hungry and unemployed and the Cathedral will neither employ or feed them.

Real men of God in the Bible don't have a luxurious mansion, cars and even don't look like you. Real men of God like John the Baptist fed on wild honey and locusts, can Duncan Williams eat that?

You can never eat wild honey and locusts the reason your body exuberates evidence of good living. In fact, you are even qualified to be a Sumo wrestler in Japan without any difficulty.

If you are a graduate in Ghana or have completed your education and struggling to find a job without success and not knowing where your meal will be coming from, you will think twice if building a Cathedral or a factory is more important.

I am very sorry to tell you and Nana Akufo that both have not only disappointed Ghana or embarrassed the black man but also confirmed what the developed world says about Africa that we are lazy and lack intelligence.
