Rt Rev. Dr Lt Col. Bliss Divine Agbeko (Rdt), Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, Ghana has advised religious and political leaders not to hesitate to crack the whip against people engaged in corrupt practices.
The nation he explained would be doomed, if people placed in authority resorted to various forms of corrupt practices and were left unpunished.
“When things are done right, we have little problem to solve,” he stressed.
Rt Rev. Dr Agbeko gave the advice during an induction service of the Presbyter Executive of the General Assembly of the church, Dr Mrs Salomey Praise Otam-Abutiate, held here yesterday.
It was under the theme “The baptism of the holy spirit”.
He said this was not the time to shield nation wreckers, stressing that Ghanaians were in a period of national emergency to work to achieve the national goals of self-economic sufficiency so there was no need for people to indulge in any act of social vices and go unpunished.
Rt Rev. Dr Agbeko noted that as Christians we must not put ourselves first but always seek God’s glory through the Holy Spirit.
According to him, “if you are in tune with the word of God, understanding the word becomes clearer.”
He added that we should all collaborate as a church to succeed, since we come with various knowledge.
He admonished those put at positions to know that certificates do not work in the Ministry of God but your efforts.
Dr Mrs Salomey Praise Otami-Abutiate, the newly inducted Presbyter Executive who holds a PhD in Philosophy hails from Avatime Biakpa in the Ho West District.
She has won a lot of awards and held many positions.
Dr Mrs Otami-Abutiate in her acceptance speech thanked the church for the confidence reposed in her.
She pledged to work hard to lift the image of the church higher.
