The Presiding Bishop for Methodist Church Ghana, Most Rev Dr. Paul Kwabena Boafo, has admonished Ghanaians to use the death of Christ to reflect on attitudes and activities that militate against growth and development.
Delivering the Methodist Church Ghana’s 2024 Easter message at the Wesley Towers in Accra today Wednesday 27, 2024, Most Rev Dr. Paul Kwabena Boafo noted that vices such as bribery and corruption is dissipating the meagre resources of the nation.
He revealed that the Easter season grants an opportunity for renewal of mindsets and attitudes for change for all.
Most Rev Dr. Paul Kwabena Boafo noted that just as Christ rose from the dead, Ghanaians too as individuals, communities, Churches and indeed as a nation, Ghana, can rise above our challenges, our doubts, and our fears.
“As our dear nation Ghana joins the world in this joyful celebration of life, let us reflect on our attitudes and activities that militate against our growth and development. These include bribery and corruption which is dissipating the meagre resources of the nation. We need to reflect on the monetization on our political landscape which is “like an axe at the foot of our hard gained democracy”.
We need to reflect on the moral decadence leading to issues such as LGBTQI, an abomination as far as our religious, cultural, and traditional values are concerned; moral issues of greed, selfishness, disrespect in society, where there is no fellow-feeling, issues of character assassination, black mailing, extortions and hypocrisy.
“The Easter season grants an opportunity for renewal of mindsets and attitudes for change. It is a time of rebirth and new beginnings. Christ demonstrated through His resurrection that just as a seed necessarily will have to die before it germinates, so is there an opportunity for new beginnings. Easter at its core is a celebration of this very promise. It is a time when we remember that after every ending, there’s a new beginning. Just as Christ rose from the dead, we too as individuals, communities, Churches and indeed as a nation, Ghana, can rise above our challenges, our doubts, and our fears,” he added.
