Focus on the true gospel of Christ – Churches urged | Religion

The Reverend Dominic Ziba, senior pastor of the Church of the Assemblies of God of the Temple of the Holy Spirit in Bolgatanga, has asked the Church to always remain neutral and focus on the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

He said the church’s responsibility was to pray, be truthful, guide and warn others not to take sides, especially in politics.

“We have almost everyone in the Church, all the political parties are there, and they are all our sons and daughters, we must remain neutral and pray that all the players can do the right thing and let us have peace. in the country.”

Reverend Ziba, who spoke in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Bolgatanga, called for circumspection in the face of the current post-election unrest in the country.

“Let’s be very cautious, let us know that this nation is for all of us, and whatever we are doing, we must look to God and make sure we do the right thing. What we are going through at the moment is not the best, the Church has to pray, ”he said.

The pastor encouraged Ghanaians to be the guardians of others, to love their neighbors as they love themselves and to ensure that “avoidable problems are well avoided, electoral challenges can be avoided because it is the Lord who will decide what to do. “.

Despite all the challenges in 2020, Reverend Ziba, who is also the Upper East Regional Superintendent for Assemblies of God Church “A” zone, described the year as “a very good year” and explained that “For Christians, all things work together for good.

“God is with us, he is in control. Although the pandemic arrived and certain things did not go as expected because there was a point where we could not go to church, in the midst of all these things, we give glory to God for having done what he wanted to do this year. . “

The zone superintendent was optimistic that 2021 would be good, “because our God makes things better every day, and whatever we go through this year, we know that God has better days ahead of us. He is a God who makes your tomorrow better than yesterday. “

He urged Christians to instill the fear of God in themselves, to serve him diligently, to follow the teachings of the Scriptures, and to desist from introducing secular activities into the Church.

“We must respect the demands of the Scriptures and put the Church in the right position as it should be.”

Speaking about the essence of Christmas, Reverend Ziba said it was a season for Christians to remember their relationship with God.

He said that God sent his only son to serve the world, adding that the birth of Christ was the means by which man was reconciled to God.

“We are not necessarily saying that this was the moment when Christ was born. That is not our interest, but the fact is that there was a time when the savior was born and the whole world needs to know the reason behind that birth, it is very necessary “.
