Cape Coast, June 23, GNA - Reverend Samuel Ghartey, Deputy Pastor of the Akim-Oda branch of the A.M.E. Zion Church, on Sunday observed that man's waywardness and the rejection of God account for the recent global difficulties and challenges.
He said the global warming and the food crisis are the results of the upsurge of sin and injustice in society. Rev. Ghartey said this when he delivered a sermon on the theme:
"Making the Impossible Possible with God" at the 101 session of the West Ghana Annual Conference of the Western West Africa Episcopal District of the A.M.E. Zion Church in Cape Coast.
According to him, man had "become egocentric rather than Christ centric" and that most people took pleasure in adoring creation more than the creator. Others have also allowed possessions to possess them". Rev Ghartey said as a result although mankind lived in a global village with modern technological advancement, there was a "great deal of unhappiness among men".
He stressed that for the impossible to be made possible with God, there was the need for Christians to adhere to the teachings of the Bible and asked the Holy Spirit to direct them to discover the future. Rev Ghartey also urged Christians not to allow themselves to be deceived by some Church leaders, who have proclaimed themselves prophets and who claimed that they could predict the future. He said it was only God who could predict the future and they should, therefore, pay no attention to such professing men of God.
