Help move country forward - Overseer

Akyem Oda (E/R), Sept. 9, GNA - Reverend Daniel T. K. Doe, General Overseer of the New Jerusalem Healing Church at Odobeng in the Central Region, on Saturday called on Ghanaians to pursue truth in order to help move the country forward in its development process. In a special church service for the nation at Odobeng, Rev. Doe urged Christians to be tolerant of each other's opinion and views to help promote peace and unity in the society. He noted that without the truth, it would be difficult for Ghanaians to provide decent livelihood to enhance their lifestyle. "As Christians, we have the onerous responsibility to be peacemakers who should build bridges of understanding and reconciliation and leave no stone unturned to remove rancour and mistrust in our society," he said.

Rev Doe cautioned that differences in views and opinions should not breed hatred or conflicts, but rather promote community and national development.

He prayed for God's guidance in the pursuit of policies that would lead to the growth and development of the country. Rev Doe called on the electorate to take active part in local governance.

He also urged the electorate to do away with apathy that acts as a drawback to good governance in communities and rather get involved in the work of the various district assemblies. He advised members of the church, especially the youth to avoid ungodly and negative practices, so as to help promote good Christianity. 9 Sept. 08
