Spiritual, Charismatic delegates end meeting

More than 280 delegates from spiritual and charismatic churches have ended a day’s meeting on the theme: “Knowing and developing your spiritual identity”, at Akim Oda in the Eastern Region.

The delegates were from the Ketu North District, Upper Denkyira District, Ayensuano District and Birim Central Municipality.

It was organized by the Dzodze based Headquarters of the Power Mission Church International (PMCI) in the Ketu North District and convened at Akim Oda in the Birim Central Municipality.

Apostle-General Emmanuel Astiko, Leader and General Overseer of PMCI, said: “It is rewarding to always be in the presence of God”, since it is in His presence that one can find direction.

“Apostles, Bishops, Prophets, Pastors and Evangelists have different gifts”, he said, adding that, they all work in perfection to the glory of God.

Apostle-General Astiko said the qualification for being in the presence of God are a clean and pure heart, devoid of lies and wickedness, adding that, with these qualities the generation of our time need not be discouraged in life and to keep near God.

Prophetess Elizabeth Quayeba Abredu, in-charge of the Promisedland Prayer Camp of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), said many people do feel that shelter, food, education and health, which pertains to their sustenance, was the sole responsibility of the government.

But, she explained that, it was a shared duty, which everyone had a role to play.

Prophetess Quayeba Abredu appealed to the various religious leaders of the delegations to remain committed to partnering their respective district assemblies in the gospel to ensure that every youth improved upon his or her lifestyle.

Rev Daniel Doe Tamakloe, General Overseer of the New Jerusalem Healing Ministry at Dunkwa-On-Offin, said corruption, when left unchecked, could result in low productivity, scare investors and undermine the rule of law and good governance.

Rev Tamakloe urged Ghanaians to report cases of corruption to the law enforcement agencies for appropriate action to be taken, since “bribery, nepotism, embezzlement and fraud were dominant in the society”.
