President
John Evans Atta Mills, on Holy Sunday (yesterday), cautioned that under
no circumstance should the stability of the nation be taken for granted
and called on Ghanaians to take a cue from the recent political trouble
in Mali with its negative repercussions.
He admonished those in
leadership positions not to take Ghana’s peace for granted. "We make the
mistake of thinking that we have the power, we don’t have! It is only
God who has the power," He said.
President Mills said this at the
Legon Inter- non- denominational Church (LIC) service, where he joined
the congregation to observe the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
President
Mills, who had been a member of the Congregation sometime ago, and
worshipped with them on the last December 31st Night, described his
visit as homecoming and thanked the Congregation for the warm reception
accorded him and his entourage.
“...my brothers and sisters in
Christ a joyous occasion such as this, it is important that one goes
home, this is home for me, this is where it all started and it is
important that from time to time I come to get spiritual strength and
God’s blessings," President Mills said in apparent reference to the
birth of his spiritual strength of the road to becoming president.
Accompanied
by Mr Enoch Teye Mensah, Minister for Works and Housing and Mr Kobena
Ade Coker, Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the ruling National
Democratic Congress, President Mills said it was an opportunity for him
to be at the church once again, and acknowledged the spiritual support
from the religious community in the governance process.
In a
sermon on the theme: “Experiencing the Power of the Resurrection” Rev
Yaw Boamah, the Resident Pastor of the church, described the
resurrection as the most important event in human history Rev. Boamah
said it redefined history, and placed truth on mankind with the capacity
to change the human experience.
Prayers were said for the President, the Government, political leaders and Ghanaians. |
