Prof Emmanuel Agbozo, Leader of the Evangelical Society of Ghana (ESG), has said there
was a divine call from God requesting his people, including Chiefs, politicians
and the church, to come together to build a new Ghana.
This new Ghana, he said, must begin with the pulling
down of systems, structures, tools and weapons of division,
disunity and destruction in all sectors.
Speaking at a press conference to mark the 40 years of
the existence of the ESG on the theme: ‘Let Us Build Our Country, ‘
Prof Agbozo said there were two dimensions to the building
process.
He explained that the first one was the re-ordering
of church mission and service position, and placing in national
affairs, so as to give Jehovah God the rightful place, honour and
glory in the nation.
The second dimension, he said, was the re-ordering of
the spiritual political, economic, social and cultural arrangements
for the furtherance of national development, progress, prosperity
and well being, happiness and joy of the people.
He said the new Ghana of divine heritage of glory
was to be built as a country of one God, one people and one nation
of divine heritage, and destined glory in the kingdom of God and
his Christ in Africa and the world.
In this building process, the chieftaincy
institutions must be relieved from defilement by the people with
personal imperialistic tendency, disposition and ambition.
There should be the breakdown of denominational
walls, disunity, competition and non-co-operation systems and
structures in the church.
He said political parties, politicians and public
servants also needed to embrace the spirit of unity, nationalism,
loyalty and dedicated service to the nation, and the people which
must be seen as the prime purpose and rationale for politics,
business enterprise, national service, life and conduct by all.
Prof Agbozo said the old Ghana had deliberately
rejected the knowledge of God, his truth, law and light that
cherish, promote and honour divine values and standard of conduct
for peace, righteousness and justice, freedom and liberty, progress
and prosperity for the nation and the people.
He recounted that Ghana made steady progress at
the beginning of nationhood under divine hand and global goodwill
until 1960 when Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah-CPP government overturned
the divine Christian heritage and launched the country on a Satan-
man, atheistic, humanistic- scientific, socialist and Africa
idolatrous one party state path.
He said the overthrow of Nkrumah CPP-one party
socialist state was the beginning of the divine wrath, judgment and
moves to redeem the nation from the Satan-man, kingdom glory
arrangement and part of glory for the nation.
‘It is for this reason that God has set out to
restore the nation onto her Christian roots for divine Godly
government and Kingdom glory in Africa,’ Prof Agbozo concluded.
