Rev Barimah Appiah Dankwa, Nsukwao District Minister of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, has called on Ghanaians to let the tenets of Easter reconcile the nation.
He said it was unfortunate that the whole nation had been divided along political and ethnic lines and this could not help to achieve any socio-economic development.
Rev Appiah Dankwa said this in his sermon at the Easter Sunday church service at the Calvary congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at Nsukwao, a suburb of Koforidua.
He said Christ offered himself as a sacrificial lamb, “Therefore there is the need for us to forgive each other.”
Rev Appiah Dankwa said Ghanaians should see themselves as one people with a common destiny and learn to live together irrespective of religious or ethnic background.
He said Ghanaians should learn from other African countries racked by civil wars and avoid ethnocentrism that had been identified as a major cause of political unrest.
Rev Samuel Asare Konadu, Koforidua East District Pastor of the Church of Pentecost, in an interview, urged Christians to continue to pray for the economic prosperity of the nation.
He said Ghanaians should eschew corruption, lateness to work and bribery which are likely to derail the development agenda of the state.
At the Gospel Light International Church Apostle Edward Abeasi, the Regional Apostle of the church, added his voice to the call on Ghanaians to live together as one people irrespective of where one is coming from “because it is by so doing that the nation will continue to achieve economic prosperity.”
