Preach truth, stay united …SDA Pastor urges church leaders
Pastor Dr Samuel Bornya preaching
The President of the East Ghana Conference of the SDA Church, Pastor Dr Samuel Bornya Arloo, has said that disunity in the body of Christ has contributed to disorganisation in the Church.
He said this in an interview with The Spectator at the closing ceremony of a five-day Camp Meeting of the Effiduase District of the SDA Church at Koforidua last Saturday.
According to him, “disunity is one of the main tools being used by the devil in fighting the power of the church, and he does it through doctrinal values, ethics, interpretation of the bible, among other means”.
He, therefore, called on church leaders to go back to the word of God and preach the right messages to the people to prepare them for the Saviour because the world was on the verge of coming to an end considering the outbreak of diseases and wars.
“Let us be united to fight our common goal else it would be better for us to remain in the world than to spend precious time, energy, and a lot of funds in doing the work of God for Christ to tell us He does not know us because we did not do the right thing,” he said.
He said the church had deviated from its path because the leaders had allowed it to be a market place where all manner of items were sold while others turned theirs into “boxing arena,” making the church unattractive to outsiders.
Pastor Arloo again talked about the economic hardship in the country and said it was not a new thing to the SDA church because Jesus Christ had said it before going to the cross to die for mankind, but bad human tendencies had worsened the situation.
He said if Christians would understand their role as children of God in Ghana and perform their duties responsibly as God expected, the economy would bounce back in no time.
Preaching the sermon on the topic “The King is Coming,” he urged the SDA members to study the bible well and understand the times and seasons to enable them bring more souls to Christ.
The Effiduase District Leader, Pastor Bernard Adu-Yeboah, also said the camp meeting was an annual programme which brought all the members together to think about their spiritual welfare and strategise to walk right before the Lord and afforded them the opportunity to fraternise socially.
