Kumasi, Nov. 2, GNA - Rev. Isaac Clive Mould Deputy Ministries Director of Action Chapel International, on Sunday said, the culture of the ruling government and the opposition parties laying blame on each other for the woes of the country is retarding the progress of the country.
"The energy and the time you waste on fighting each other could be used to pray to God to rescue us from the shackles of our woes." Rev. Mould said these in a sermon at the second annual gathering of the National Intercessors Assembly (NIA), a non- denominational Christian movement from the various tertiary institutions in the country, in Kumasi.
He was expressed optimism that, Ghanaians could get out of the grip of the IMF, The World Bank and other donor countries if we seek for ideas from the Supreme God, adding, "we are tired of their cut-throat conditionalities to their loans."
Rev Mould wondered why Africa should be poor amidst the multitudes of natural resources nature had endowed it with and said the failures of Africa, for that matter Ghana, were temporary and called on all Ghanaians to work hard because prayer goes with effort to achieve goals.
Rev. Mould appealed to Ghanaians to do away with all forms of corruption and pursue righteousness, adding, that was the only way God can favour the country.
He commended farmers and industrialist for doing well in their various ways to move the economy forward and called on Ghanaians to patronize their goods.
"Our local foods give life and energy, while the exotic ones, which we buy at high prices only give sickness and send us to our graves early," he stressed.
The Founder of the NIA Mr. Kojo Ofori Yeboa, said the aim of the movement was to educate Ghanaians to stop accusing political leaders for the problems of the nation and to encourage Christians to take up leadership positions wherever they find themselves.
This according to him could transform the society, adding that Christians, to a large extent were honest, committed and truthful and could deliver satisfactorily.
Mr Ofori said, they believe in the empirical sciences as University students but believe also that prayer could play a part in redeeming the country.
