The Sunyani Area Head of the Christ Apostolic Church
International,(CACI), Apostle Samuel Gyekye, has called on Christians to
continuously strive to make peace since it is by so doing that they
shall be called sons of God.
He observed that “people have different personality traits, families, cultural and
ethnic backgrounds but as far as we live together, we should make sure peace
prevails especially as Christians”.
Apostle Gyekye said these during the Palm Sunday Service at the Sunyani
Central Assembly of the Christ Apostolic Church on the theme: “How To
Become A Peacemaker”.
Apostle Gyekye stressed that peacemakers are
those who produce, initiate or create peace through their sacrifices,
words, action and prayers.
He noted that many are those who are
peace lovers, explaining that such people like peace but are not ready
to make peace due to the risk involved.
The Area Apostle therefore
urged Christians to work hard for peace irrespective of the consequences
because peace is needed to help propagate the gospel.
Apostle
Gyekye pointed out that though peacemaking could be hard and painful,
the end result is that those who work for it shall be called sons of God
and for matter that every Christian must strive for peace.
He told
the congregation to be willing to apologise, forgive one another,
reconcile, give thanks and walk together as one for total peace.
Apostle Gyekye said Christians must always act quickly to resolve conflicts to
ensure that peace exists at all times.
