Rev. Joshua Obeng, Resident Pastor of the Calvary Charismatic Center
Ghanaians have been warned to stick together and live in harmony to build a prosperous country for future generations, regardless of their political leanings.
The Rev. Joshua Obeng, the Calvary Charismatic Center (CCC) resident pastor who gave the advice, said Ghanaians should not allow political disagreements to degenerate into feuds that have the potential to compromise peace in the country.
Speaking to the media after an evening service to usher in 2021 in Kumasi, he said that it was normal for people to have a disagreement on issues, but the ability to resolve them amicably was what mattered most.
Therefore, he urged political parties with outstanding problems in the recent elections to seek redress in the courts of law to further strengthen Ghana’s democratic credentials.
“Disagreement does not mean that there should be no peace and as pastors we have a role to play in ensuring that Ghanaian disagreement does not escalate when people pick up knives and other weapons to fight each other,” he noted.
He said that 2021 offered a lot of hope with various governments and international bodies planning to make the world a better place, and said that “the fact that the world has not ended is a pure sign from God that there are still possibilities in 2021.
He underlined the need for Ghanaians to maintain faith in God and that as long as they believe in the Lord, His mercies will be with them throughout the year.
Rev. Obeng also spoke of the church’s plans to reach out to communities in the Kumasi metropolis this year by economically empowering people and also creating opportunities for others to improve their livelihoods.
He recounted how the church supported many people during the close of last year and promised the church’s commitment to continue to be a blessing to society.
