'... it tells us that we should apply our God given brains and work hard and invest wisely;'
Badu, the key sentiment is the last word - wisdom. Rev Prof Asante would agree with you that we need to seek divine wisdom, as King Solomon did, to work hard and utilise our natural talents and resources for the benefit of all.
Rev Asante would also agree that we must repent of our sin and eschew corruption and vice to progress as a nation.

I am sorry Rev. Asante was wrong in suggesting that God can fix our frail economy. He should have rather come out boldly and tell our unwise leaders' to seek wisdom. I cannot believe a man of God chose to behave like a timid. I suggest he tells the corrupt leaders' to be wise next time he gets such opportunity.

Ghana as a country has reached a plateau with no fresh idea at leadership.No new innovations in over 40 years. For three generation, there has never been any mind blowing changes for those growing up in the 70s to impact the generations after them who are now pastors,teachers and the rest.
There have never been a tested model for two generations of Ghanaians to model their morals and good work ethic on.
So this has been the state of our nation as every level of our institutions has seen major failure.
Tema townships dirty, the harbor dirty, the schools in the city looked cleaner in the 70s with working WCs, and should have been working more better and way cleaner than 30 years ago, but what you see now is the opposite. Pavilions that created shed to cool these concrete structures were savagely pulled down because the city council's primitive workers could not repair it, exposing the school kids to all that heat, and no one seems to care.
Ghana my country has reached a plateau with no fresh ideas any where.
Govt officials know no other way to build a school building than the old 1955 design to meet 2013.And the same old rotten mindset is what we applied when it comes to agric and everything else.

Center to all this corruption now is the ewe tribalism that has a stranglehold on the ndc and now most of the state agencies that are to combat this menace. yes corruption exists in all countries but ours has become more notorious than the nigerian , during kuffuor's time it was know he and his cronies would try and secure a 0.5 to 5% commission now ndc is known for not less than 20% going up all the way to 200 300 or even 500% . loans achieve even parliamentary approval are withdrawn as business wise it just doesnt make sense. the civil service especial ministry of finance has turned into a money grabbing arm twisting mafia that up to 3 years ago would frustrate any endeavor undertook en if one would not pay , in short the process would move at a snails pace . the last couple of years if you dont pay your files and docs would go missing or you would eventually be accused of defrauding the state or some other fabricated heinous crime and end up with the bni , police or some other agency of repression fighting for your life. in short would take by force from you what you did not willingly give.Some now advocate for JJ methods of dealing with this system of doom, but rawlings style of governance can never come back as the revolution propaganda and media hype was nothing but a sophisticated cover and camouflage of the ewe persecution of the Akans mainly the ashantis as by the end of the Acheampong era most govt institutions and factories were being managed by Ashantis, today most are in the hands of northerners , Gas and ewes so to clean up the babies and fruits of the revolution with another is impossible , the only solution is now a civil war . now tribalistically speaking without being accused again of chauvinism or Akan nationalism we have a situation whereby this alliance of the ewes , part of the gas and northerners , that is less than 15 % of the population by varios means of election engineering , rigging divide and rule now are looting as quickly as they can all the wealth of the nation as they know this can not last forever . unfortunately when they are done we shall be left with a war and no future for our children due to our own laziness to see the truth for what it really is . here is a govt so busy with their cover up for the SADA that not a single minister or leader to come out this Easter with a message of hope as their hearts are filled with so much evil and hate . yes this govt will leave one day for sure despised and hated by the people , never to come back again.

Who has ever seen God before? No one has ever seen God. And how does God fix or work? He does it through human beings. Just like in the Bible God used Moses to set the Isrealist free from their enemies. Not only that, God used human by the name Jesus to spread his word and washed all our sins. God also gave Solomon the wisdom to rule his people. The biblical list goes on and on.
In short, God wouldn't appear in the physical form to solve the problems of Ghana. But rather he would use the people to solve the problems in Ghana. This is what the Rev meant. Don't misquote and misinterprete his message.
If still you don't get it, let me put this way what the Rev meant: God will use human beings to fix our economy so we must seek his way first just as Solomon, Moses and others did.

There is a saying: if God doesn't support to build, the builder can do nothing. Can you tell me why in school you used to say the lord's prayer before you commenced your lesson everyday? Or at work place, you say prayers before. Without God's hands we can do nothing

The statements of the bible reinforce each other. If people submit to God's will and seek him, they will not be corrupt or lazy. The problem of this country is corruption and lazyness.Leadership without intergrity. If men will submit to God He will transform them from within and enable them transform their economies. God works together with us to transform our societies and their economies. Rev Asante is in deed right, but let us take his message in context.
