Churches should speak against injustice - Apostle

Apostle Samuel Lord Agyin, former Area Head of the Effiduase Pentecost Church, has admonished the church to speak up about suffering and denounce social injustices.

He expressed discomfort with the situation, where many Christians failed to stand for what was right and speak against the wrongs and the failings of the society.

That, he said, could only lead to the predictable outcome of corruption and lawlessness. Apostle Agyin was delivering the sermon at a service held to climax the Silver Jubilee celebration of the South Suntreso District Pentecost Church in Kumasi.

The weeklong event was held under the theme “Celebrating 25 years of God’s faithfulness through worship”. Activities marking it included revival and prayer meetings, and clean up exercises.

Apostle Agyin urged Christians to remain unwavering in their faith and be confident about the future. He added that they also lived their religious faith – let their lives reflect Christ-like qualities of modesty, integrity, love and service to humanity.

He said it was by so doing that they would become a positive influence on society. Pastor Joseph Asumadu Berchie, the District Pastor, entreated the congregation to trust in the faithfulness of God and accept to work hard to build on the strong foundation laid by their predecessors.

He announced the opening of 13 additional assemblies of the church and ordination of nine pastors as some major achievements made over the period.
