Economic hardship sign of end time?
Elder Markus Musa Dangana preaching
The Treasurer of the West-Central African Division of the Seventh-Day Adventist(S.D.A) Church in Abidjan, Elder Markus Musa Dangana has encouraged the public to strengthen their relationship with God in order to withstand the current economic challenges that the country is battling with.
He noted that the world had reached a certain point where the economic gurus could not fix the economy of the world because “the second coming of Jesus Christ is fast approaching.”
Elder Dangana made this statement at the end of his 10 days evangelistic campaign on the theme:”The King Is Coming “here last Saturday.
According to him, “the economy of the world is out of control and people should not look for a better economy but rather look for a better world that is not governed by man.”
“If you do not get it better here on earth, it will be better in heaven”, he said and noted that the hardship we were experiencing was a sign of the end time but not poor governance.
“It is the beginning we have started witnessing,so do not relax and look out for better economic times but get closer to God and order your footsteps rightly with God”, he added.
In a sermon, the Elder urged the congregation to let their character reflect the will of God and rebuild a firm relationship with Him for “we do not know when He will call us to rest.”
Elder Dangana further encouraged the public to be committed and faithful to the work of God and the work they do.
The President of the East Ghana Conference of the S.D.A, Dr. Pastor. Samuel Bonya Arloo noted that the evangelistic campaign was a collaboration between the East Ghana Conference and the New Life Church.
He said the purpose of the campaign was to remind the world about the second coming of Jesus Christ and appealed to the public to live a life worthy of a Christian.
The Head Pastor of the New Life Church, Pr. Osei Bonsu encouraged the members to increase their faith in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.
Elder Markus Musa Dangana later donated a fridge, TV, Air conditioner, industrial washing machine to management of a newly established modern clinic of the College.
The acting principal, Dr Cecilia Ofosua Odame received the items, and thanked the donor. The items cost Ghc25,000 and the Clinic was also established through the instrumentality of the Acting Principal, Dr Ofosua Odame.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
