The Chairman of the Christ Apostolic Church International (CACI), Apostle Samuel Amponsah-Frimpong, has called on Ghanaians to continually pray for the leadership of the country.
He stated that the country's leadership required spiritual guidance to make judgments that would lead to prosperity.
Apostle Amponsah-Frimpong stated that in order to develop a healthy economy, citizens, particularly Christians, must rise up, unite, and pray for the country's leaders, rather than resorting to negativity, criticism, and insults.
"Through prayer, encouragement and active participation in the political process, believers can contribute to a more just, compassionate and flourishing society, fulfilling the timeless mandate to love God and love our neighbours as ourselves," he added.
Last Sunday, Apostle Amponsah-Frimpong spoke at the dedication ceremony for the 600-seater Adentan Central Church of CACI in Accra.
The Apostle J.J Debrah, CAC Int, Accra North-East Terminal Head, and Rev. Isaac Tetteh, CAC Int, Adentan Circuit Pastor, helped unveil the two-story edifice's dedication stone.
The gathering, titled "Gathering in His Name: Exhorting One Another," marked the end of a week-long celebration that included a variety of activities aimed at encouraging community involvement and spiritual growth.
Sermon
In a sermon, the Chairman of CACI stressed the need to prayer for all, including those in charge, and quoted 1 Timothy 2:1-2, stating: "It is not only your right, but our duty, to pray for and support our leaders, recognising their humanity and the challenges they face".
He exhorted Christians to avoid converting churches into commercial institutions for personal benefit.
Apostle Amponsah-Frimpong exhorted Christians to value God and ensure the church carried out its prophetic mandate.
Based on Matthew 21:12-17, he used parallelism to show how Jesus grumbled about how the people had turned the Temple in Jerusalem into a den of thieves, so he chased out the money changers and those who bought and sold there.
He reminded the assembly, as they worshiped from the temple, to cherish their relationship with God.
