PEACE EMBLEM: OVERCOMERS KEY OF VICTORY (Continuation)

PEACE EMBLEM: OVERCOMERS KEY OF VICTORY (Continuation)

Africa is now facing serious challenges. Our major challenge in this era in our march towards peace is about Development, Maintenance, and Expansion of our resources at all fronts. Our capacity to reason with our mind, and use our creative abilities to create wealth with all our abundant resources is the major challenge facing Africa. It is on this line that I have proposed a 20-YEAR National Plan for Ghana. I pray that all African leaders, and governments listen to my humble advice : your thoughts should be fixed on what is worthy, true ,honorable, admirable, holy, pleasing and devoid of any selfish and greedy sentiments. African leaders should come out with national plans like what I have proposed for my nation Ghana, discussed, and approved by their national parliament, and this will bring the green light to development, maintenance, and Expansion of our national resources. The national plan will bring stability, and focus to national development and eventually create many job opportunities for the people, thereby eliminating poverty, and raising the national growth for every citizen to enjoy. This will eliminate political bias, and the people could enjoy true peace, and economic freedom on the natural level.

Politicians, and the citizens of a nation should respect the three branches of government, and allow the rule of law to take its place in the nation, and any ruling government should avoid the use of state organization, or structure for its party's political use whereby it is contrary to the standard regulations. The government should defend, ensure true democracy, and peace in the continent of Africa, and especially on the West African regional demarcation. Ghana is now regarded as the true Black Star of all Africa. Ghanaian politicians and all leaders of every sector of the society should do self analysis, and be sincere in themselves in order that true peace, and economic freedom to come in every area of our national life, and development. Accountability, transparency, honesty, God fearing should be our national cry as we move forward as a nation to build a sound, peaceful society where nation comes before everything else.

Education is the pillar of society, or a nation. Let our national plan include the return of reading, and writing, and the publication of more novels, short stories, essays, articles, and poems, and encourage the children to enjoy reading and writing which was there in the 1970s. The creation of creative writing competitions in the all sections of school curriculum should be evaluated, and restart up to all tertiary schools as was evidenced in the 1960 to the 1980s,and then began to decline up to this present day.

It is time for all Ghanaians to have the spirit of courage, perseverance, ambitions, honesty, and be sincere and honest but not selfish, and greedy ambitions, faith to move on as one nation with a common destiny, and having confidence in ourselves that God the Almighty cares for us, and loves us. we can see this with the opening of many possibilities, the discovery of oil on our land, and the many things we could do to create industries whereby many of the raw materials we export for other nations to refine can be done in Ghana, this creating wealth, and at the same time offering opportunities for many people to have professional training and job opportunities thereby eradicating unemployment in the society. This will also stop the influx of people coming to the capital city for employment. Development should be centered on all the regions as well as villages so that national growth would come-Rural Development, as well as Urban development.

Coming to the spiritual level again, no nation on earth can have true peace without acknowledging the God of Creation. In the Bible, the constitution of The Kingdom of God on earth, God Jehovah.

Almighty YAHWEH will punish all the nations who forget Him.

To have true peace, physically we should seek God in order to have true peace. May the peace of God the Father, and His Son Our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, through His Holy Spirit reign in the hearts, and minds of every individual on this global village, and all the nations of the world who sincerely seek Him, and acknowledge Him as God and obey His precepts and ordinances. Shalom! Asomdwoe!
