When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

We have some foolish priests that make me throw up. They only misquote from the Bible and give wrong interpretation to their quotes. If Jesus Christ walked and touched places, where in the Bible does it say his followers should be sponsored by poor countries without water and electricity to use the scarce resources that they have to go go Jerusalem. I am a Christian but such comments from supposed church leaders is total nonsense. If Jerusalem is the blessed city as some may want us to believe, why is it on fire? What are the patriot missiles doing over there? I prefer my HO, Dodowa, and Koforidua among others to the so called City of David.
There should be a difference between the state and the church. Ghana is a secular country period. Call me an atheist and an agent of the devil and I like it. God knows who I am.

THEY ARE NOISY, WASTING PEOPLE'S TIME, NOT ALLOWING PEOPLE ENOUGH TIME TO WORK, BUYING BIG CARS, GOING TO BEAUTICIANS TO BLEACH THEIR FACES, WEARING EXPENSIVE SUITS, SHOUTING AND SWEATING ON THEIR FLOCK. THEN THEY TRY TO STICK AROUND GOVERNMENTS WITH VISITS TO THE CASTLE AND PRAYING FOR PRESIDENTS OR PROPHESYING ABOUT PRESIDENTS TO PUT HOLY FEAR IN THEM AND TO RECEIVE COURTESIES AND PRIVILEGES.

Inferiority complex at it's worst. African Political and Religious leaders, are leading their flock/Masses to Foriegn slaughter houses, in the name of Political and Religious neocolonialism.

The ALMIGHTY AFRICA is the MOTHER of all so-called western religions. There are no ifs and buts about this fact. Why then are Ghanaian political and religious leaders fixated on traveling to foreign lands for salvation, when they are already in the promised land of their great Ancestors?

Both NPP&NDC, are victims of an old diabolical scheme, perpetrated on them by the colonial masters. After mis-educating our leaders and certifying them as such, they are released to lead the continued destruction of the African civilization.

BELOVEDS, this is a new phase in the same old colonial scheme, Elmina, and many other human-slave torture houses in Africa, is a clear example of the collaborative relationship between church and state, the idea is to hypnotize and exploit.

BELOVEDS, Ghana is more bountiful than occupied Palestine/so- called Israel and Mecca, put together, beneath the feet of every Ghanaian/African in Africa, lies the world's most valuable and vital resources, without Africa's resources, (which includes all aspects of learning,) this world could easily return to the Stone Age.

BELOVEDS, please believe me when I tell you that the one and only holy land for Africans, is BEAUTIFUL, BOUNTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL MAMA AFRICA.

NDC&NPP need to stop chasing Foriegn ghosts, and develop comprehensive programs to make Ghana a desirable place for the African Masses, not just for politicians and pastors.

"The greatness of Ghana does not lie in the physical achievement of our development plans, but also in the quality of life of it's people". ..... Kwame Nkrumah.

I have always suspected that this Jerusalem Pilgrimage plans were already in planning during Prez Mills's presidency, but unfortunately, he could not see it to fruition before he died and POOR GENTLE SOUL Mahama was just trying to complete what his Mentor started.

KOWING FULL well that it was probably the Christian leadership who approached Mills, and NOT something that Mahama even started, these TIMID leaders abandoned Mahama to HANG by himself when a bunch of self-serving politically tainted media houses decided to twist facts to discrete Mahama and his presidency, and GUESS WHAT? The PETERS of Ghana's church have allowed the media to turned against Mahama and WIN..

Christianfuo, where is your support for one of your own in his time of need? IS this how you intend to abandon Mahama at the least provocation? Don't you know that that the Bible commands us to pray for our leaders and that the "heart of the King is in God's hands?

I AM VERY VERY DISSAPOINTED IN THE CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP IN GHANA..MAYBE THIS IS WHAT CHRISTIANITY HAS BECOME UNFORTUNATELY..HENCE THERE IS A NEW MOVEMENT EMERGING WHICH WILL CLEAN THE CHURCH OF ITS ROT AND SEPARATE THE GOATS FROM THE SHEEP, THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF... "JUDGMENT BEGINS IN THE HOUSE OF GOD"!

IT IS TIME FOR A DRASTIC CHANGE IN THE CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP ALL AROUND THE WORLD, BUT IT WILL COMMEND FROM FATHER YAWEH AND HIS SPIRIT HIMSELF...

NOW THAT EVEN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS A DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT LEADER WHO IS THE DEFINITION OF WHAT A SERVANT LEADER SHOULD BE- I THINK IT IS JUST A PROPHETIC SIGN OF THE SHIFT TO COME!

Dear Holly,

For your information, I support Christian pilgrimages to Jerusalem, if not now, then under better circumstances.. I myself will be making such a trip in the years ahead to help strengthen my faith. And, if the government can step in to help stranded Muslims, and sponsor Muslims for their pilgrimage to Mecca, I see NOTHING wrong with Ghanaian Christian leaders asking for help in their desire to pilgrimage to Jerusalem( the foundation and evidence of our Christian faith, where Christ will rule in the New Millennium); what annoys me is their LACK OF TRANSPARENCY!

Please kindly note that I support the arguments of the ICC leader above, as I have stated similar points in support of Christian pilgrimages..

Thanks for your feedback thou!

Blessings, you have disappointed me greatly as a Christian and a well educated Ghanaian woman with Christian roots. No where in the Bible are Christians tasked to go on Christian pilgrimage to Israel unlike the Moslem religion where Moslems are tasked to take a pilgrimage to Mecca.

One thing is true though and that is, Mills started this pilgrimage of Christians going to Israel. Mills sent some charismatic self annointed Priests to Israel on the taxpayers back to go and pray for him during his presidency though on a small scale unlike the 200 MAHAMA wants to send.

Anyway, why is this opportunity of going to Israel given to only Priests? This fake man of God is comparing this pilgrimage to Moslems but the government don't sponsor or facilitate the Moslems pilgrimage for only the Imams or the Moslems clergy alone.

The true fact is that, MAHAMA wants to reward the Ndc supported Clergy to take a vacation as Pastor Benny Wood intimated in this forum but to cloud it as such, the invitation was extended to the Priests of our tradional churches.

Any man of God worth his cassock will not be asking the government to send him or her to Israel for a pilgrimage when some people have been flooded out of their homes in the North and NADMO cannot help them because it has no money and instead of this Priest telling the government to send the $600,000 to help the homeless in the North, he is telling us that it is a worthwhile endeavour. What are they going to Israel to do that they cannot do here in Ghana? I did not know God has deserted Ghana and moved to Israel.

SARPONG, we can agree to disagree on this I hope!

Please read my well reasoned argument on why Christians must support Israel and bless Israel under my response to Felix Acquague....

As a Christian believer in Messiah Jesus, I DO TAKE THE BIBLE in its TOTALITY as the UNCORRUPTED WORD OF GOD, and having read the Bible from A-Z,I stand by my arguments that Christians, particularly Gentile Christians, must support Israel, because together with the Jew, in times to come, Israel will be all of our inheritance.. If one cannot see this, then I don't know what you believe in, and I am not at liberty to question it.

Just know that the government has had a HISTORY of supporting Ghanaian Muslims in one form or another to attend Mecca whether it is mandated or not is really not my concern here.

Similarly, I cannot frown on Christian leaders asking for the same type of help, mandated or not- what I ask from them is to come out BODLY and be TRANSPARENT and NOT allow an otherwise innocent Man in the form Mahama to be HUNG DRY by the politically poisonous media and left holding a bag of embracement whereas he was advocating for their good!

Had all the facts been made available to us all in the media in GOOD FAITH, I would not have been against this pilgrimage in the first place...

The poor will always be with us, and truth be told, for Ghana to move forward, it will take more than just government to wipe out poverty; it will take the collective citizenry to make a revolutionary change of heart not to steal, and rape Ghana with impunity!

Once again, I do support a pilgrimage of Christian leaders to Israel, and if the government can afford them the help made avail to Muslims, then hooray to Ghana building a fair and just society!

Thank you!

I don't see the support of the clergy by the government on a pilgrimage as necessary. It's absolutely futile and unbiblical. I don't think pastors would only have to go to Jerusalem and pray before would hear them. It is the human that forms the temple of God, therefore no credence is given to location as far as prayer is concerned. The aim of the pilgrimage is to plead for spiritual back-up inorder to enhance development in the country. If the prayer really matters about Ghana; should it be done outside the country. I think when the clergy are governmentally supported to hold a national crusade in the aim of seeking development. Then I think we are getting somewhere, instead of going to spend gargantuam amounts on them in Jerusalem. Though, the nation seek divination, there should also be some sense of rationality; since the large sums estimated to be spent on them can be used for something more profitable all geared towards development.

"It's absolutely futile and unbiblical." SAY WHAT?

The problem with concocted GENTILE CHRISTIANITY is that THEY have taken out or WRITTEN off the JEWS in their believing, because of their misinterpretation of what Paul wrote in Romans concerning GRACE...

GENTILE CONCOCTED CHRISTIANITY says:

1- ISRAEL does not matter- WRONG- Israel was the original chosen people through whom YAWEH was to be revealed to ALL mankind after the fall...Their covenant founding father was ABRAHAM, who IS and SHOULD BE the SPIRITUAL father of Gentiles through FAITH..

2- That the GENTILES are under grace and thus they are now "the CHOSEN ONES" through grace...WRONG- PAUL is very clear about this in Romans that the Jews are the ROOT we the Gentiles are GRAFTED in by FAITH- and that there is a VEIL over the eyes of Jew, which when removed, it would be like "life from the dead"...

Now, as the Jewish nation has blessed us Gentile Christians in writing through inspiration of the Holy Spirit, practically the entire Bible, Israel is the SINGLE most important component of Christianity and the JEW must be woven back into our faith to Create One New Man of God, since Christ through his selfless sacrifice on Calvary has removed the veil separating the Jew and Gentile... We are all together with the Jew/Gentile, inheritance of Israel both physically and spiritually Zion the City of God in times to come.. We are nearing the end.. Christ is coming back; let the "Watchmen on the Wall" speak the truth and correct UNTRUTHS or BLATANT LIES perpetuated in the church by the DEVIL himself!

Felix Acquage, do you know your Bible? Do you know that Christ will rule in Jerusalem as the King who will sit on David's throne? Do you think it is the Jerusalem in your backyard or the one in Israel?

PLEASE STOP PEDDLYING HALF TRUTHS HERE..IT IS TIME FOR THE ANANAIAS AND CEPHARIA JUDGMENT TO REENTER THE CHURCH TO STOP HAVE BAKED, HALF BREED CHRISTIANS FROM PEDDLING UNTRUTHS AROUND.. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Blessings, you put an exciting question to Felix about where Christ will return to occupy his thrown be it Jerusalem in his backyard or the one in Israel? Well if your answer is the Jerusalem in Israel then you are at lost.

Be aware that the entire Bible is the word of God and Christ made it clear that he spoke in parables and without parable he didn't speak. What is a parable - A parable is an earthly story with heavenly or spiritual meaning. To be honest with yourself, the Bible is a very very difficult book to understand where even the 12 - Apostles could not grasp what He was teaching them face to face. That is why He used to break the message down to them when He was with them alone. Without God opening your spiritual mind, your will blindly follow the multitude who interpret it literally without seeking the spiritual meaning. You may ask yourself why is it that 10 Priest will preach differently on the same given topic or stance in the Bible? Because they don't follow the Biblical rules - by comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Anyway, the Christian pilgrimage to Israel is of no spiritual value and majority of the Jews still believe not in Christ and do not have anything to do with the New Testament and are expecting the Messiah to come some day and not Christ return.

"Pastors" sponsored to go walking and touching the places where Jesus walked and prayed in Jerusalem is not biblical and certainly not the solution to Ghana's social-economic development pathetic state of hopelessness where pastors twist and criminally abuse the word for worldly material gains, luxuries, women, drugs, openly support to criminally corrupted politicians, notoriously immoral government criminal appointees, unscrupulously and discredited businessmen and shameless homosexuals, prostitutes and slanderers.

Your quotes here to justify the disgusting sponsorship by the alleged faceless person whom you do not even know his or her background who is behind paying to send the pastors to go pray for mother Ghana in Jerusalem is a clear indication that you are indeed ignorant of the teachings of Christ the Savior and someone who do not even read to clearly understand the Bible as Jehovah is omnipresent.

I wonder what sort of ICC you heading as President and what you really do.

Every Ghanaian enjoys freedom of movement and if today's fake pastors want to go on a pilgrimage, they should not do so on the expense of the tax payers money as we need money to fix our water, electric power, gas to cook food for the children, affordable school fees, houses, hospitals, roads, unemployment and to support street children by creating youth training camps to sort our hugely national problems.

This has nothing to being ungodly and antichrist. If anything, a true follower of Christ would put others before himself & won't embark on a such journey with this amount of money, when the nation is scrambling to get funds for important projects. If this archbishop has any compassion for the poor, he'll advise the preside to use the money on the poor. That's what a true Christian suppose to do.

It seems all so-called men of God in Ghana now have become political.
I advise them to convert their churches into political party offices and stop the hipocricy!

I do not support this Archbishop for what he is saying you can pray at any place and God will hear you.

Oyiwa! Where is Rv. Martey. Your fellow preacherman requested for pilgrimage to Isreal and you pretended the ideal came from the moon. By their seed you shall know them. Amen

UNTIL THE VESTIGES OF DEMON WORSHIP IS TOTALLY DISCREDITED, DESTROYED AND ABANDONED, MEN SUCH AS THESE WHO OUT OF ARROGANCE HAVE ADOPTED GRANDIOSE NAMES AND TITLES, WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD A LOT OF GHANAIANS ASTRAY. THE REAL REASON WHY OUR NATION IS IN DISARRAY IS BECAUSE THE WRONG PEOPLE ARE PRAYING, THEY ALSO PRAY TO A DEVIL WHO IS LAUGHING IN HIS BLOOD THIRSTY SLEEP.
IT'S TIME TO REALLY VET ALL THESE ROGUES AND LIARS DISGUISED AS HOLY MEN AND FUCK THEM UP WELL WELL.

What stupidity! What Chicanery! When will the African become any wiser? How long shall we continue to believe in a God that has a chosen people? How long shall we continue to believe in a God that has a son? This god is not universal! It is a racist god! no wonder Ghanaians have been worshiping this god for centuries and they are still where they are! There is nothing in Israel to pray for! Israel cannot bless Africa, let alone Ghana. They should first bless themselves and stop the killings that are going on in their own backyard. Ghanaians! Please! Please! Please! Wake-up!
