Keeping holy the Sabbath day means to observe a day of rest, worship, and spiritual rejuvenation, as commanded in the Bible (Exodus 20:8-11, Deuteronomy 5:12-15). Here are some aspects of keeping the Sabbath holy:

1. _Rest_: Cease from work and labor, just like God rested on the seventh day of creation (Genesis 2:2-3).

2. _Worship_: Attend church services, participate in communal worship, and engage in personal devotionals.

3. _Spiritual rejuvenation_: Reflect on your relationship with God, seek spiritual growth, and renew your commitment to Him.

4. _Separation_: Set the Sabbath apart from other days, avoiding worldly activities and focusing on spiritual pursuits.

5. _Joy and delight_: Find joy and delight in the Sabbath, as a gift from God (Isaiah 58:13-14).

6. _Community_: Spend time with family, friends, and community, strengthening relationships and bonds.

7. _Gratitude_: Express gratitude for God's blessings, provision, and redemption.

8. _Sabbath as a foreshadowing_: Remember that the Sabbath points to the ultimate rest and redemption found in Jesus Christ (Hebrews 4:9-10).

9. _Holiness_: Recognize the Sabbath as a holy day, set apart for God's purposes, and conduct yourself accordingly.

10. _Covenant reminder_: Remember the Sabbath as a sign of God's covenant with His people, symbolizing His love and faithfulness.

By keeping the Sabbath holy, you honor God, rest in His presence, and rejuvenate your spirit.

Do people really rest or keep the Sabbath holy? What is the definition of holy anyway?

Do SDAs take public transport on Saturdays? Are the drivers not working? Or they don't have to keep the sabbath? These religious bullshit needs to stop. Unlike Adam and Eve who ate fruits in the garden, the world has changed

CLOSE DOWN THESE IRRELEVANT CHURCHES
What has sabbath got to do with we Africans? We never knew things like Monday, Tuesday…..Sunday. Our calendar was based on market days. Now come the Jewish bible and we are grabbing onto a day that has meaning only to the Jews as if it is our culture. I urge nana addo to close down any church that threatens our democracy. On 7 December 2024, the SDA can hold their service in Jerusalem, if only Natanyahu will not let them smell kpakpo shito!

Ghana should consider holding advance pools to enable every Ghanaian who wants to vote but won't be able to vote for some reasons. This can easily be done on the last Monday before the general election. A maximum of 2 pooling station per constituency. In other jurisdictions advance pools is opened for two weeks. We should start respecting the electorates and allow reforms that focuses on them rather than political parties.

Imagine the election falls on a Sunday and the Christians who worship on Sundays also give this excuse or complaint. What would happen in Ghana? It is a choice to vote. They can stay home and allow those who won to decide for them. We can't satisfy everybody. Why are they complaining now after 30 years of this experiment? Come on

Because, either you are too LAZY TO READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE OR YOU CANNOT PROPERLY READ AND COMPREHEND...

Here is paragraph 5 of this very article, mentioning THE USE OF SCHOOLS AS POLLING STATIONS....

Below is the paragraph 5 for you ( @Me )...wai

Explaining such a scenario using Peace FM premises, he said “If the polling centre is the Peace FM building, every place around it or area can be used as a polling station. We don’t even conduct elections inside church or school buildings but within the premises is where we create the polling stations”.

@Me,.. have you seen SCHOOL BUILDINGS MENTIONED IN PARAGRAPH 5....???

Next time,,... READ AND COMPREHEND PROPERLY BEFORE DROPPING SENSELESS COMMENTS....

Even Israel where the Sabbath originates and vigorously practiced still fights the terrorists Hamas and its evil branches on the sabbath. When they target the heads of Hezbollah and Hamas, they don't pause to say it is the sabbath so the motherfuckers should be let off to plan our demise they act. Now brain washed black man has taken the sabbath as his world cup and being whiter than the white man who introduced his religion. National duty first.

If the SDA Church decides not to vote on7th December polls it will and should not affect the exercise. They claim to observe the sabbath but they do all manner of things contrary to their so -called sabbath. Ghanaians are not fools to change the 7th December voting date/ Day in favour of the SDA Church to open the floodgate for other faith- based Churches to ask for change of voting dates. Gosh!

The 3 Hebrew boys never compromised their faith. They never bowed to the King of Babylon. Just bowing, they never did

You see , if the state or EC cannot compromise its rules, then the Adventists would abandon church for election. They cannot too compromise their faith. They would not waste their time at the polling station instead of worshipping the creator of the universe on His Holy day.

No amount of pressure would let the Adventists change their mind.
The church members must stand firm.

What? These SDA’s are hypocrites. The Nurses and doctors work on Saturdays. Students go to school on Saturdays. They go to hospital on Saturdays when sick . Plus other duties.. They have no excuse not to vote.
