The Metropolitan Catholic Archbishop of Kumasi, the Most Reverend Gabriel Anokye, has asked Ghanaians to be God-fearing and accept to do the right things to make life better in 2015.
People need not just to listen to the word of God but to make sure that they live by it to purge the society of evil, he said in a New Year goodwill message to the nation, copied to Ghana News Agency in Kumasi.
Archbishop Anokye asked people to remain steadfast in their faith, to be disciplined and continue to pray for God?s eternal blessing for the nation.
He also underlined the need for especially politicians on both sides of the political divide to overcome their differences and work together to move the country forward.
He said politicians should be mindful of their actions and every step they take to avoid anything that could stoke tension or create confusion.
He said it must not be lost on anybody that it is only when there is peace and a booming economy that the people?s socio-economic and spiritual lives would change.
Archbishop Anokye said despite the difficulties the nation faced in the past year, people should have every cause to be grateful for God?s protection.
Rev Robert Kwadwo Asante, a Senior Pastor of the Grace Baptist Church, Amakom-Kumasi, also called on all to do away with apathy and share the responsibility of helping to make Ghana a better place.
He said Ghanaians should fulfill God?s purpose for their lives by playing their part in making the world a happy place for everybody.
He counselled against ethnic, political and religious divisions.
