Akufo-Addo Needs Divine Knowledge To Tackle Corruption - Pastor

The National Overseer of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Edward K Duodu, has called on Christians to contribute their quota in fighting corruption which is retarding national progress and weakening the spirituality of the church of God.

He said President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his administration require divine knowledge to tackle corruption in a more proactive manner to facilitate accelerated national development and enhance the socio-economic livelihoods of the people as well.

Pastor Duodu said there is the need for Christians to intensify their prayers for the President and his government to ensure a deep reflection, understanding, revelations and wisdom- to push his vision for the nation.

He said corruption remains the bane of socio-economic development and a religious nation like Ghana which has majority of her citizens professing Christianity, could tackle the menace with deep revelation from the Holy Spirit, selflessness and high sense of patriotism.

Pastor Duodu gave the advice when preaching a sermon at a three-day revival service held in Sunyani.

Pastor Duodu said Christianity is a way of life and a holy walk with God Almighty and reminded public officials and the public that any act of corruption they involve themselves could follow them to eternity.

He said it is expected of the church, as the body of Jesus Christ, to do her best to hammer on repentance, salvation, holiness and righteousness to push spiritual transformation of Ghanaians.

With repentance and genuine salvation among Ghanaians, Pastor Duodu said, corruption if not eliminated could easily be brought under the control.

He said covetousness and the uncontrolled desire to acquire earthly riches were drivers of corruption adding that though riches and wealth were good, those who acquired them through corrupt means would not escape eternal judgment and condemnation.

He said incessant prayers and intensified evangelism were required from the church to push the Holy Spirit to search, convict and impact as well as transform the lives of the people.

Pastor Duodu said the moment a person dies, his or her riches would not follow him or her to eternity, but rather the righteous deeds of salvation would determine ones eternal abode either heaven or hell.

He said because death was inevitable and respected no social class in society, it behoves on every Ghanaian, Christians in particularly, to prepare spiritually by guarding against evil and sin so that at death they would inherit and enjoy eternal comfort.
