Take anti-corruption message to the homes -Rev Asore

A minister of God, Rev. Dr. Samuel B. Asore, has stated that corruption can only be taken away when there is a change in the life of the people.

So to check corruption in our society, it should be preached against in houses, schools, workplaces as well as villages and towns for people to change their way of life.

Rev. Dr. Asore who is also the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church, was speaking to pressmen after he dedicated the chapel for the Akuse branch of the church on August 2.

Rev. Dr. Asore said there are people who claim to be Christians but have nothing to show that they are Christians. This is because they are not practising the true Christian principles that make one a Christian and that by ones love to another, people will know that we are Christians.

On the issue of reconciliation, he said churches are the best institutions to preach reconciliation explaining that reconciliation in order not to lose its essence must not be made political.

“It should not be put under one umbrella and should not be looked at politically too. When it is made political, we may forget the essence of it,” he pointed out.

He observed that governments fail to perform because they are not given time to prove themselves but rather receiving criticisms every minute.

He, therefore, called on Ghanaians to give their Members of Parliament (MPs) and the government the necessary push to prove themselves especially by honouring their campaign promises.

The minister made it known that he has been encouraging Christians to practice politics because there was theocracy where God ruled so with their Christian spirits they can lead their people very well.

Rev. Dr. Asore advised that before the government gives back mission schools to the churches, a committee should be set up to advice the government on what the two parties can do for it to become successful.

Addressing the congregation, the MP for Lower Manya Constituency, Mr. Michael Nyaunu, charged them to access their lives since live without assessment is not worth living.

He admitted that there are hardships in our society today but who we turn to for help in this time is what matters. He advised them to also look up to God for help when they are in need.

Giving a brief history about the church (Akuse branch), Rev. Joseph Odjidja, host pastor said the church began with six members 10 years ago.

They were ejected from their place of worship until they got a permanent place to worship. He paid tribute to the founding members who helped in diverse ways to establish the church in the area.

A special prayer was offered for Mr. Nyaunu, MPs in the country and the government for God’s guidance in their undertakings.
