Use pulpit to fight corruption rather than preach material prosperity, vengeance & superstition – PNC

The Church and Christians must use the Easter season “to emphasize the importance of good moral values and uprightness, echoing the teachings of Christ,” the People’s National Convention has urged in its Easter message signed by General Secretary Janet Nabla.

Speaking on Plan B FM’s morning show NKOSUONSEM hosted by Obidehye Kofi Sekyi, Ms. Nabla stressed, “We firmly believe that by steering sermons away from messages centered on material prosperity, vengeance, and superstition, and instead focusing on the wisdom imparted by Christ, churches can play a crucial role in the fight against corruption in our country”, she said.

She added: “Corruption, a challenge affecting all Ghanaians irrespective of political affiliation, remains a significant obstacle to progress and development.”

The opposition party noted that “through the promotion of integrity, accountability, and compassion, churches can significantly contribute to nurturing a culture of transparency and righteousness in our nation.”

She appeals to all churches in Ghana to heed this call and prioritize the dissemination of sermons that inspire positive change and ethical conduct among their congregants.

As Christians around the globe observe the solemn occasion of Lent, commemorating the profound significance of the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the People’s National Convention extends warm Easter greetings to all believers across Ghana.

During this sacred season, we pause to reflect on the values of faith, sacrifice, and renewal that Easter represents.

It serves as a time of spiritual reflection and hope for a brighter future.

The General Secretary added that Ghana’s Christian population comprises a significant 71% of our citizens and, the influence of churches in shaping societal values is undeniable.

Therefore, the PNC calls upon churches nationwide to utilize their platforms to pray for and advocate peaceful elections come 7th December 2024.
