A Message To The Youth Of Ghana

Theme: THE VISION and PATH of HOPE and GLORY

God in His mercy and goodness, and desire for Peace, Progress and Prosperity in Africa is calling unto the YOUTH of GHANA and AFRICA to break from the ROOT of DESOLATION of PAST GENERATIONS and set sail on A VISION and PATH of HOPE and GLORY for Africa.

The vision of God for Africa is Africa Reconciled, Delivered, Set Free, Healed, Redeemed and Established in Truth, Light and Liberty, Peace, Progress and Prosperity and a Heritage of Joy, Hope and Glory in the Knowledge and Hand of God. The path for the state of Liberty and Progress, Joy and Glory is THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and HONOUR of GOD the CREATOR, the knowledge, fear and worship of Him alone as God of Ghana and Africa.

For generations, Africa has been a continent of contradictions and desolation, with poverty in the midst of plenty, suffering and woes due to sin and evil, disease and death, violence, wickedness and wars, idolatory and superstition, fear and backwardness, poor economic performance and poverty, oppressive and wicked leadership.

The principal factor behind Africa’s woes and desolation is idolatory, violence, wickedness and wars, unstable political order and poor statecraft. Further, Africa’s Tradition, Customs and Culture have raised barriers and become a major stumbling block against social transformation and advancement, human well-being and progress.

Thus Africa is suffering from spiritual overcast of confusion and darkness, wickedness and perversion set in place through the interplay of Divine wrath and judgement on one hand and Satan’s dominion and control and human wickedness on the other.

It is without dispute in this respect that advancement in education and social skills, science and technology, politics and governance that have brought liberation and hope in many lands around the world is yet to settle in and wield its positive influence and effect in Africa. Life and conduct, politics, governance and social order, economic performance, progress and prosperity have invariably remained static in Africa.

Indeed, economic development and social advancement are yet to be properly grounded for take-off in Africa otherwise rich in resources, human and physical.

In this regard, the uncontrollable variable factor in the social advancement equation in Africa is politics and governance. The only predictable element in African politics and governance is VIOLENCE and WICKEDNESS, CORRUPTION and ROBBERY, ORCHESTRATED LIES and FALSEHOOD, ABUSE of POWER and TRUST.

Hence, post-independent Africa lingers on poorly in standing and stature in the global village. Ideas and theories, systems and methods galvanizing change and raising hope to millions in other nations and continents seem to lose their teeth and grinding force in Africa.

It is here that African tradition, customs and culture that determine and dominate the spirit- and mind-set, practice, performance and conduct in Africa are responsible for poor receptivity and weak response to change and progress.

For example, Ghanaians are noted for adaptability, quick integration and high performance in other lands, Europe and America included. Ghanaians are sought after for change and advancement in other African countries. Yet back home, the old order sees no light of change and effective transformation. Foreigners are received with glee but ideas from citizens, even with demonstrable performance record elsewhere are either rejected or forced to succumb to the ruling spirit of darkness and non-progress in the country. The truth is that the gods of our fathers and the ruling spirits, tradition, customs and culture of our ancestors, elders and fathers have kept us in bondage, spiritual and cultural stupor, backwardness and poverty.

It is ironical in this respect that the educated and scholars in Africa instead of examining the old order with a view to bringing change, instead of setting up new ways of social and cultural transformation, advancement and progress are rather making frantic efforts at window dressing as it were to maintain and perpetuate the old order in the name of culture, renaissance and so-called African personality. It is not uncommon to hear intellectuals, journalists and scholars talking with romantic fervor about witchcraft, divination and ancestral spirits and observance of old ways.

Unfortunately, the church in Africa embued with Divine truth and love, power and authority, light and liberty is yet to confront and break Africa from the umbilical cords of tradition, customs and dark culture. The church is yet to take up in full the Christ redemption mantle to deliver and set Africa free from the state of darkness, stupor and desolation. Sad, some Christians have accepted the old order in an unwitting romance with culture. But culture is man-determined. And African tradition, customs and culture as in many places are dominated by the gods and goddesses in forests, hills, mountains, lagoons, rivers, the sea, et al.

It is Divine will, goodness and mercy that Africa be delivered and assisted to break with the past and pull down satanic captivity and human wickedness hindering advancement and development, peace, stability, progress and prosperity in Ghana and Africa.

This is the reason behind the Lord God of Hosts message of deliverance, redemption and hope to the YOUTH in GHANA/AFRICA under the theme THE VISION and PATH of HOPE and GLORY.

God Almighty has a vision, desire and plans for a new redeemed, free, progressive and prosperous Africa. This future will be the character, heritage and glory of the Youth in Ghana and Africa to-day.

The vision is a Divine Heritage in Africa to which the Most High God is calling upon the Youth of Ghana in particular and Africa in general to understand, embrace and take charge and responsibility under His wisdom, guidance and Holy Hands.

THE PATH OF GLORY

The Most High God has directed and is counseling the YOUTH in GHANA to

• BREAK AWAY from Satan worship, idolatory, blood sacrifices, sorcery and witchcraft.

• BREAK AWAY from the fathers and elders, their tradition, customs and culture of old which have kept Africa in bondage and desolation under Satan and human wickedness perpetuated through the reign of the gods and goddesses, superstition, fear and death.

• BREAK AWAY from selfish, unrighteous, corrupt, materialistic and pernicious ways.

• TURN TO Him Jehovah God the Creator, His Worship, Knowledge, Love and Power for life and all affairs in Ghana/Africa.

• UNDERTAKE TO BUILD Ghana/Africa in the Truth, Law, Light and Ways of God in full Trust and Assurance of Faith and Hope in His able, sovereign and supreme hands.

The truth is that Ghana has already experienced the Divine reconciliation, redemption and establishment under God. Hence, the mantle falls on the YOUTH in GHANA for His Vision, Mercy and Goodness to transform Africa and launch her on a new pedestal of Peace and Righteousness, Progress and Prosperity, Liberty, Hope and Glory in Africa and the world. The vision and mission is GHANA IS FREE: AFRICA IS FREE.

To this and towards this end I, servant of the Most High God have the privilege to declare to the YOUTH of GHANA/AFRICA, saying,

Thus says the Most High God.

BREAK AWAY FROM YOUR FATHERS, their gods, tradition, customs and culture. Take to the WORSHIP, TRUTH, LIGHT, WAY and KNOWLEDGE of GOD. He will shepherd you unto THE VISION and PATH of HOPE and GLORY for the new Ghana and new Africa.

Build your Trust and Hope in God.

God Bless the Youth of Ghana!

God Bless Africa!

Blessed be our God now and forever more. Amen!!
