Let There Be Peace In The Land (Part I)

Peace be unto the people of Ghana.

Thanks be to God for the vision or is it the compelling circumstances that caused President Prof. Atta Mills to call for National Prayer and Fast.

We salute the religious bodies and specially the Christian Church authorities in the land for accepting and honouring the Presidential Macedonian call. The declaration of the 8-Day National Prayer Fast by the Christian Church is a noble response.

We give thanks and praise therefore to God for the Presidential Message calling for reconciliation and peace in the land. Nothing is so crucial and critical now as peace and righteousness due particularly to the current spiritual and political crises, the economic pressures and concerns and uncertainties about the Mills administration in the land.

In the Sermon on the Mount inaugurating the Kingdom of God on earth, the Lord Jesus Christ proclaimed among other things saying, BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL BE CALLED THE SONS of GOD (Matt. 5:9). It is good in this regard that the President has called for reconciliation and peace in the land.

We are very hopeful therefore, indeed we call upon professing christian President Prof. Atta Mills to arrange for and cast the first nail to a coffin for the burial of political strife, conflict and disquiet and threat to peace and stability, security of life and national cohesion and unity, and security at the three gates of chieftaincy, political party and government.

It must be stated in this connection that in the African context political leaders and governments exercising the coercive powers of state, government and political parties constitute and indeed POSE THE GREATEST THREAT TO PEACE and STABILITY, SECURITY of LIFE, NATIONAL COHESION and UNITY and SECURITY of nations. Indeed, the military, police and security forces of African nations, like in many nations elsewhere, operate with impunity and recklessness when leaders are unrighteous and wicked, when they are power-drunk and conceive of power in exclusive and oppressive terms only.

The story of post-independence Ghana offers a firm and sure proof of the threat to peace and life by politicians, political parties, soldiers and the Armed Forces of the land. There is no gainsaying unrighteous, unjust and wicked governance has had stultifying effect on progress and prosperity of the nation. In fact, the people of Ghana have suffered much at the hands of post-independence governments far greater than at the hands of the colonial governments. “We prefer self- government with danger to tranquility in servitude” said Nkrumah.

If therefore, there will be peace, tranquility, stability, the security of life, progress and prosperity in the nation, it rests more squarely on President Atta Mills, his government and the supporting national security apparatus than on any other group or agency of people in the land.

Second, the people who must endeavour to be peacemakers in the land are the political parties with all their paraphernalia of party gurus, machomen, party vigilantes, financial bootlickers and conscienceless, lawless and indifferent economic vampires and power opportunism that politics in Ghana/Africa is fraught with.

The third area of threat to peace and tranquility, national cohesion and unity, non-distorted national progress is the current spate of chieftaincy disputes in the land. This is Africa in pose!

Here again, we call upon President Prof. Atta Mills to stop political party and government dabbling in, exploitation and fanning of chieftaincy disputes. The Atta Mills administration is seeming to be rising in indulgence in hypocritical subservience to chieftaincy disputes for cheap yet costly and ultimately empty political gains.

We humbly request that the President raise an axe to the tree of unrighteous, unjust, violent and wicked governance, the abuse of power and indisciplined and careless handling of state, government and political party power and with it the abuse of human rights, law and order, justice and moral decency in the conduct of human and national affairs.

It is apparent that ministers of state and political appointees in the public services are watering as well as festering the rise of unrighteous, unjust and wicked governance with glee. This does not augur well for good governance, for people’s participation and contribution in national processes. The administration of the land suffers when public servants who run the public services as governments come and go are rendered impotent and become indifferent, indisciplined and corrupt. When the unrighteous rule, the wise hide and everyone else runs and works for gain. The Abuse of power become imminent, rampant in fact!

The Bible calls on governments to save and protect the poor, needy and weak, those accounted for death and deliver them from deceit, oppression, violence and blood sacrifice.

It is not strange, the Police seem to be engaged now in resurrecting the old wounds of government oppression through the perpetuation of violence, lawlessness and disorder as a way of policy and governance. “Armed robbery” in politics and governance is not only unrighteous and wicked, it undermines public trust, political stability and effective and meaningful participation in national processes, particularly in the realms of individual creativity and initiative, economic enterprise and performance and social progress as a whole. Hence, the Bible says when the unrighteous rule, the people mourn. (Prov. 29:2)

LET THERE BE PEACE IN THE LAND (Part II)

Bro. Enoch Immanuel Amanor Agbozo

It is here that we want to climb the Holy Hill of God where the Will and Law of God, His Peace, Righteousness, Judgement and Justice, Freedom, Liberty and Joy reign. It is gratifying therefore that President Atta Mills’ call for peace and reconciliation was made on no less a platform as THE CHURCH, and ostensibly in the presence of God, the True, Holy and Righteous One before whom there is No Darkness, Nor Shadow Nor Hiding.

We want to rest in the belief that the Church has sought for and gotten President Mills and his government’s true, meaningful and effective participation in the confession of sins, repentance and recourse to peace with God, peace with neighbours, and peace, righteousness, justice and equity in governance and in the land as a whole.

If that has been done, repentance will yield its fruit, the turning to and exaltation of Peace and Reconciliation, Righteousness and Justice in acts of government by the Executive, Legislature, Judiciary and the public services including the military, the police and security agencies, the MCEs and DCEs and the NDC political party machinery behind Prof. Atta Mills government.

Similarly, we trust that the church authorities succeeded in engaging the political parties in the national prayer and fast so they too will repent and abandon the standing political rivalry and strife, untoward, violent pursuit of political power. In addition, Ghana will avoid the secret blood sacrifices for power, position and wealth.

TRUE and LASTING PEACE BEGIN WITH GOD

The most important and cardinal issue in the pursuit and establishment of peace, righteousness and justice in the land is in reconciliation with God and the true worship of Him the Creator in Spirit and Truth through Jesus Christ the Spirit of Truth, Life and Way of God, Love, Life and Light and Liberty, the Righteousness of God and Prince of Peace on one part and obedience and observance of the will and word of God on another. Christ Jesus is the Lord (of) our Righteousness.

It is for peace on earth and goodwill towards men that Jesus Christ offered His blood and life on the Cross. He called for the remission of sins before commissioning the Church with the Word and Ministry of Reconciliation for peace and goodwill, righteousness and justice, liberty and joy to rein and flourish in the affairs of men and nations. The Great Commission embraces Church Building, Kingdom Building and Nation Building.

We trust therefore that the church elders will seek to liaise with and assist President Mills and his government with the heavenly cause of Peace, Righteousness and Goodwill in the affairs of the nation and in Ghana’s relationship with other nations.

Second, we seize this opportunity to humbly offer counsel to the President that ANY SECRET worship of gods, that is, fallen angels, demons and elemental spirits and all in the sea, land, air and the heavenlies, and blood sacrifices or the return to the spirits of the dead and powers of darkness for power for governance such as with the dragon of the sea, the leviathan and dwarfs of the land, the ghosts of the dead including Kwame Nkrumah or the attempt to return the country to the Kwame Nkrumah spirit power of old, his atheistic and humanistic philosophies, ideology and social engineering or any human ideology for that matter will not only imply the return, restoration and re-imposition of the systems already rejected by God, the nation and people of Ghana. It will simply not augur well for the country. The days of Satan, idolatory, the gods and ancestral spirits are over.

President Atta Mills government’s responsibility for peace and righteousness, stability and security, progress and prosperity of the nation is NON-EQUIVOCAL. He has an answer to give to God, the nation and people, present and future generations to come.

Finally, the Lord would have us tell the Church, Government, Nation and People of Ghana that chosen and redeemed Ghana cannot return to Egypt. The days of Satan, powers and wicked man, and idol worship are over.

We trust in this direction that The Church Has Been True and Faithful to God and Christ as peacemakers, the people and servants of the Most High God and ministers of reconciliation after the Spirit and Heart, Word, Will and Works of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and the Lord our Righteousness, King of kings and Lord of lords. Let us encourage people, church and government for peace, progress and joy in the land. Let us not assist President Mills to rob, frustrate and destroy the peace, righteousness and liberty, freedom and justice now arising and flourishing in the nation.

O people of Ghana, the Lord our God is ONE GOD. We must Not Go Back to the gods of old. Let there be peace in the land. We must seek and establish the heavenly peace in the knowledge and fear and in the truth and hand of God..

Peace be unto all. Amen and Amen!

MESSAGE FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE NEW GHANA

By Bro. Enoch Immanuel Amanor Agbozo

BEHOLD THE NEW GHANA

Rejoice in the sanctuary and in Mount Zion. Let the Church lead the nation in the celebration of God and the new redeemed Ghana. The New Ghana is the work of the Right Hand of God and His countenance upon the country. It is not the outcome of the works of politicians and political parties, soldiers and the Military and their governments. Neither is it the result of their emancipation, liberation, redemption and revolution movements.

Ghana has passed through phases. There are the Ghana 1 phase of old Ghana Empire/Gold Coast era and the Ghana 2 phase of the post-emancipation-independence era, 1957-2005, both of which were ordered after Satan-Man alliance, and were fraught with political strife, instability, wars and insecurity, oppression and desolation, and hypocritical foreign ideological, political party and imperialist alliances.

The old order is no more. A New Ghana is born. Bless the Lord God Jehovah of Ghana.

By way of introduction, may we state that GHANA as nation born anew and established by the Right Hand of God sprang out through Divine intervention in the reconciliation, redemption and restoration of country as Christian nation and godly people. The country has now been established as Beulah Land and God Kingdom Glory state. Ghana has become a nation, people and government ordered and established in Christ and His government and kingdom order of peace, righteousness, judgement, justice and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 9:6-7; Romans 14: 17).

The New Ghana is a nation and people specially redeemed, married and made Holy unto God as His People (Ps. 33:12; Is. 62) and where God is known and acknowledged as God and Father, King, Lord and Governor, Refuge and Defence of the nation. (Psalms 48; 122)

The NEW GHANA made up of A New Church, A New People and A New Nation is the doing of the LORD our GOD. She is therefore different from both Ghana 1 and Ghana 2.

It must be emphasised in this respect that The NEW GHANA is not the doing or the outcome of the policies and works of politicians and political parties, soldiers and military/Armed Forces of the country. The emancipation, liberation, redemption and revolutionary movements of politicians, (Danquah-Kwame Nkrumah), political parties (UGCC-NLM--CPP, UP-PP-NAL, NPP-(P)NDC) and soldiers (Kotoka-Afrifa-Acheampong-Rawlings) brought no genuine relief, freedom and justice. Their works did not bring lasting peace and progress, stability and tranquility, joy and hope to the nation. If anything, they brought pain, instability and frustration.

It goes without saying therefore that no spirit nor power, no man nor politician, no political party nor group can claim to be the redeemer, God and father of the nation.

The truth is that, it is God the Father who worked through His Son Jesus Christ with the Church and entire nation as a people that fought to establish the NEW GHANA. It is the Church as the agency of Jesus Christ, the dwelling place and army of God in the land that played significant central and catalyst roles in the redemption and establishment of nation and people as NATION and PEOPLE of GOD. The scriptures, particularly Psalms 33; 48; 122; Isaiah Chapters 9:6-7 and 62, Matthew 28: 18-20, Ephesians 2, and others depict the place of the CHURCH as people of God and Mount Zion in the land. The Church of God is the Temple, Tabernacle, Palace and Throne of God in the land. Through and with the Church has God shown forth His light and established His saving hand upon the nation.

To be precise, the Church of God has been charged with Church Building, God Kingdom Building and Nation Building to make Ghana shine as nation and people of God and star in Africa.

It is this beautiful and unique position of the Church that has qualified her to DECLARE THE NEW GHANA and call for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of GOD as GOD and FATHER, Redeemer, King, Lord and Governor of the nation.

By way of explanation, may we state that the Ghana Evangelical Society (GES) an evangelistic and missionary movement has been specifically commissioned and assigned with the Divine intervention, reconciliation and deliverance, rebuilding, redemption and restoration of the country and the grand church mission of church building, kingdom building and nation building to make Ghana a nation and people sought out, chosen and blessed and made Holy unto God. For over 30 years, GES has served as the Lord’s Army in the reconciliation, redemption and restoration of glory to the nation and her establishment as Beulah Land for God’s Kingdom glory in Africa and the world. The House of Worship in Accra, the central church of the Society has since become the Army barracks, as well as the Temple, Tabernacle and Throne of God in the land.

We humbly beseech the Church fathers and leaders of the nation to deliberate over The NEW GHANA, the church role in her affairs and her SPIRITUAL and SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY for holding, maintaining and defence of CHRIST GOVERNMENT and KINGDOM ORDER and its glory in Ghana and Africa.

May we conclude that the CHURCH CANNOT AFFORD TO ALLOW THE NATION TO TURN BACK TO SATANISM, IDOLATRY, BLOOD SACRIFICES and WITCHCRAFT, POLITICAL STRIFE, DISUNITY and WARS, INSTABILITY and INSECURITY, UNRIGHTEOUS, UNJUST, WICKED, CORRUPT and OPPRESSIVE GOVERNANCE. We cannot allow the nation to be subjected to the wicked works of spirits and men, foreign domination and the perpetuation of the anguish and wrath of God upon the nation.

Mount Zion must lead in the movement to celebrate God and Country, the Redemption, Restoration and Establishment of The New Ghana in the Hand and Glory of the Most High God. Ghana, a Crown and Royal Diadem in the Hand of God is the BEAUTY to behold and celebrate by all. Amen and Amen!

MARK YE THE BULWARKS

By Bro. Enoch I. A. Agbozo

Praise ye the Lord, ye saints and blessed people of Ghana.

THE HOUR OF GLORY HAS COME. Ghana shall experience great and astounding changes. Changes that will arise not from the ideas and works of men, but from the works and working power of the Most High God.

God has gone forth to build Ghana anew giving it the name BEULAH and THE NEW JERUSALEM, a city not built with hands. Ghana is and shall remain chosen and blessed people and city of God. The city of God is not marked by sand and stone, cement and metal, wood and glass. The roads thereof are paved with gold in the soundness of character and conduct in the knowledge, fear and hand of God. Those who walk on them do not worship and serve silver and gold, idols of spirits and the works of men. Money is not the means of exchange.

Christ Jesus, the door and key, King, Lord and Governor of the city and Kingdom of God is the light and standard of the city. He has already gone forth to set the standard and means of conduct. Truth, Humility and Righteousness constitute the Christ standard. Love, meekness and lowliness, obedience and sacrifice are the means. The sceptre of the Christ Everlasting Kingdom of Peace, Life and Light is the Sceptre of Righteousness.

It is to the praise and glory of God the Creator, Father of Jesus Christ that the Church of God in Ghana has expanded, embraced and covered the majority, very large one at that, of the families, citizens and people of the country.

This is a spiritual and social reality, which is leading and will lead to inevitable significant SPIRITUAL, POLITICAL and CULTURAL CHANGES in the land.

To explain further, the church of God in the land are the people who have repented and forsaken the life of rebellion against God and the disobedience of Him, His Will and Word, Law and Commandments, Light and Way. The Bible describes them as children, servants and people of God. They are people reconciled with God and who accordingly have entered into peace and fellowship with Him. They have passed from the state, condition and dominion of the wrath and judgement of God, darkness and death unto the life and light, the mercy and goodness of God. Glory be to God.

Not only that, they are people BORN ANEW through the Spirit of Christ the Son and has by token of that been adopted and granted full rights, power and standing as Children of God through their faith in the truth about Jesus Christ. (John 1: 12-13; Ephesians 1: 3-8, 13-14)

Thus, through the New Birth, Jesus Christ imparts His Divine Spirit Nature, Everlasting Peace and Life and Glory into the believers in Him. This qualifies them to enter the Household court, Presence and Kingdom of God with full rights as children and servants. Accordingly, they have access to the fullness of Divine nature, authority and power through the Holy Spirit. (John 3: 3-8; 1: 12-13, 16; 14: 15-18; Acts 1: 5-8; 15: 1-5) Jesus Himself is the baptizer with the Holy Spirit.

Christianity is in that respect a spiritual journey of growth and maturity in the nature, graces and glory of God in Christ through Holy, Righteous and Faithful Service. This is the garment and girdle of Jesus Christ in His human nature and standing as The Son and Servant of God sent out to the world.

It goes without saying that the Church people are people who have by definition forsaken the Satan-man world order of rebellion and disobedience, sin, darkness and death dictated, run and dominated by Satan and man, spirits and powers, demons and gods with its idolatory, blood sacrifices, sorcery and witchcraft, wickedness, violence, destruction and all.

In the Satan-man world, spirits subject nations to the dictates of rebellious and wicked men who exalt themselves as gods in their diverse kingdoms learning and religion, knowledge, wisdom and works, where the arts, culture and tradition, science and technology promote the rejection of God and knowledge of Him, and instead lead to indulgence in blasphemy, human self-determinism, self-projection, adulation and vanity. All is vanity in the human non-godly life. The Bible says further that man at his best is altogether vapour (Psalm 39: 5-6; 62:9)

Knowing this, it is only proper that Ghana seeks to be reconciled with and establish life and conduct, government and nation in the knowledge, fear and honour, government and kingdom of God.

It is by this that Israel grew and prospered as people, nation, government and Kingdom of God. Jehovah the Creator was God and Father, Redeemer and King, Defence, Refuge and Glory of Israel. He was also the God and Father, King and Law-giver of Judeo-Christian Europe which added the Christ dimension to the Israel model to build nation and people, government and kingdom after the Christ (Messianic) Government and Kingdom order. Judeo-Christian Europe became a model for the world. The United States of America and to a large extent Canada, Australia and New Zealand and others were built, developed and prospered after the Judeo-Christian Europe model. So also to a limited extent, the British colonies.

The knowledge and honour, reign and rule of God constitute the spiritual foundation and cultural framework of enlightened, progressive and prosperous Europe. Europe fell from glory when she diverted her beauty, advancement, progress and glory to the Satan-man allied world order marked by the rejection of God and His Christ, and thus the worship, knowledge and honour of the Creator and the demands of faith in Jesus Christ, His Spirit and Teachings through the Blood Sacrifice on the Cross and His Kingdom order as stipulated in the Christian scriptures. Europe changed emphasis from God to human spirit and mind, reasoning power and intellect and the works of men’s hand.

We need not belabour here the fact that the God and Christ worship and Kingdom order got to Africa at the same time as in Europe. That Europe advanced and prospered on the back of Jesus Christ Kingdom order. That Africa stalled in accepting and honouring the Creator and the re-ordering of tradition, religion and culture in His name. That Africa thereby missed the spiritual and religious, politico-economic and socio-cultural advancement that accompany the knowledge, worship and obedience of the true God and observance of Christ government and Kingdom order on earth.

Humanist-atheistic Europe has since been a far cry of peace and spiritual light, social order, governance and moral conduct based on the knowledge of God, the sacredness of life and human liberty and dignity. Political and social policies of Europe of modernism have fallen deep into the abyss of Satanic deception, man’s self-elevation as god and human depravity. Unbridled human wickedness and brutality has in fact risen to high proportions.

Africa must reject the fallen human system of Europe. But more so, Africa must flee from the spiritual, religious, political and cultural order of Satanic captivity, deception and oppression, dominion and control. Africa must stop breeding, promoting and exalting men and women steeped in Satanic deception and oppression and the politics, governance and culture of wickedness and destruction, blood, violence and wars of men.

It is imperative therefore for Ghana, the Ghana reconciled with God, delivered from Satanic oppression, dominion, captivity and control, the Ghana redeemed from human weakness and wickedness, idolatory and blood with its politics and governance of violence, war and man’s inhumanity to man, and culture of perpetuity of evil, darkness, poverty and social desolation NOT TO GO BACK TO EGYPT.

It is here that the expansion and nation-wide spread of the church and the Christian faith is a blessing and good omen. It is a SPECIAL DIVINE ORDERED ORCHESTRATED, DIRECTED, SUPERVISED and CONTROLLED MOVEMENT.

God the Creator has chosen Ghana as His launching pad for His Kingdom Order and its glory in Africa. God is out to reconcile, deliver, set free, heal, redeem, and restore Africa to A NEW SPIRITUAL and SOCIAL ORDER, a different LASTING ORDER MORE GLORIOUS than the Satan-Man-demonic Africa of idolatory, blood and wars, political chaos, weak and unwise governance perpetuated by Satan and wicked man. Africa will witness a change in the culture of darkness, death and the desolation of generations.

THE NEW GHANA – ARICA

There is A New Africa in the offing, A New Africa rising from the ashes of Satan-man dominated Africa. This new Africa has sprung up and is shinning in Ghana. We talk of democracy. This is deeper than democracy. The Star of the Peace, Righteousness, Truth, Life, Light, Liberty and Glory of the Kingdom of God risen in and upon Ghana is The New Thing.

The hour of Divine Glory of spiritual and social order after Jesus Christ, His government and Kingdom has come. There is and there can be no turning back. Hallelujah!

We call upon the church and people, government and the entire nation to take special note of this and MARK THE BULWARKS of Israel and Europe in their time of glory in the Worship, Knowledge and Honour of Jehovah God, Creator and Father of Jesus Christ. We must also study and mark well the testimony of the redemption of the nation. The word and truth, law and commandments, light and way of God are the everlasting pillars of peace, righteousness and joy, and the abiding reality of God’s presence and glory in the country.

Everything will pass away but Him, His Word, Will and Glory for humanity and creation abideth ever. The Kingdom of God is an Everlasting Kingdom. Hallelujah!

Ghana is now experiencing the beauty, joy and blessedness of nation and people elected and chosen for God’s inheritance, His Dwelling, Abiding place and Tabernacle in the world. The Church in the nation constitutes the beautiful place of Divine elevation, settlement and glory in the land. (Psalm48) How beautiful are the feet of them that carry the seed of redemption!!

Let us tell the story to generations following. Amen!
