The Behavior of Church Leaders In Ghana

During the first NDC administration between 1992 – 2000 Ghana’s Church Leaders wrote several Pastoral Letters decrying economic hard ships even though the price of petrol was 64GP per gallon under President Rawlings. However, when the NPP won the general elections in 2000 and formed a government President Kufuor increased petrol by 100% in 2001.

Those same Church Leaders shamefully told Ghanaians to bear with the NPP government because it had no alternative to some of the harsh measures and that the concessions and the other benefits should have been introduced before the subsides on fuel were removed that was in 2001. Again in 2004, fuel was increased by the same 100% - the Church Leaders kept quiet no Pastorial Letters were written throughout the period that Kufuor was President from 2001 - 2008.

Why did these Church Leaders behave that way. Answer. It was because the NPP is a Conservative Party and 99% of these church leaders are Conservatives hence their in difference and long silence while the NPP was misruling Ghana. The moral fibre of the society is in the hands of the CLERGY and they must unstill LOVE, PEACE, DISCIPLINE AND HONESTY in society because people see the Clergy as the Direct Representatives of God on Earth. Women are always MORE than men in most churches and some Church Leaders continue to count the beads of peoples’ wives and have been sleeping with them by heart. Divorce cases have increased ten fold in Ghana because the Church has failed to curb it even though every part of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has a church in Ghana. Most of them are Miracle Churches who at times organize political crusades as the infamous crusade organized in Obuasi Black Park only for the foul mouthed Methodist Bishop to turn it into an NPP rally.

In 2 Timothy chapter 3 verses 1 – 9, the Bible talks of Godlessness in the last days and the Methodist Church Bishop clearly represent that on earth. Here we go. But mark this; there will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, Ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, and slanderous, without self control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited lovers of pleasure RATHER than lovers of God having a form of God liness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. This exactly fit that foul mouthed Methodist Bishop of Obuasi who spoke at the political crusade that was organized to incite the people of Obuasi against the NDC government in disguise as a Christian crusade.

The Bible continues in verse 6 thus: They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak willed women who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of EVIL DESIRES, always learning but never able to acknowledge the TRUTH.

Just as James and Jambres opposed Moses – so also these men oppose the TRUTH – men of depraved minds, who as far as the faith is concerned are rejected, but they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear for every one. These are not my words, but it is the stubborn truth culled from the Holy Bible. The folly of the Methodist Church Leaders are very clear, let its Bishops, Elders Reverened ministers all wear their NPP ‘’T’’ Shirts and lets meet on political platforms across the nation and see who is who in Ghana and stop hiding cowardly behind the Pulpit to turn the people against the NDC because of Sheer Envy.

We are fed up with these propaganda driven dirty politics currently led by some foul mouthed Bishops from the Methodist Church.

Where was the Obuasi Bishop when the violet prone NPP took the whole nation to ransom for 8 solid months at the Supreme Court hoping to over turn the results of the 2012 elections for Nana Akuffo Addo to be declared President of Ghana though the back door?

We now have some Church Leaders who have NO CLEAR knowledge of what they are doing who always overthrow the TRUTH and use the Church itself to spread falsehoods about God’s character as well as develop Fake Doctrines about how God plans to redeem men and women from sin at a time these same Church Leaders are Ghana’s number one sinners who always turn the Bible upside down and deceive innocent souls by indirectly leading them to HELL. The Methodist Church Leaders has taken the lead in this direction and they must be stooped in their tracks before it is too late. I read a document released by the United States Center for Health Services showing AN INCREASE IN DIVORCE RATES IN THE USA THUS: IN 1950, there were 385,000 divorces, In 1960, there were 393,000 divorces, In 1970, there were 705,000 divorces.

In 1980, there were 1,189,000 divorces and In 1990, there were 1,175,000 divorces. In Ghana, divorce rates have increased ten fold, and what are the Church Leaders doing about that since most criminals and even Armed Robbers come from broken homes?

What kind of Bible do these Church Leaders always read and inform or tell their flock and yet corruption is in its worst form in the body politic including the Church today 2014? Are we spiritually saved or cursed forever? I leave the answer to my admirers in the social media to comment on it. It is very true that Ghanaians are facing severe economic hardships – but who cause am?

The Conservative NPP members and their Church Leaders who have turned the Church into an integral wing of the NPP since 1992to date 2014.

The NDC does NOT NEED INSINCERE PRAYERS from dishonest Bishops of the Methodist church because God does not accept their unholy prayers at all. Is anybody listening? I shall return when the need arise. I am done ‘’Jaanbie Iwaii – Aluta Continua!
