The Treasurer for the West-Central Africa Division of the Seventh – day Adventist (SDA) Church in Abidjan, Pastor Markus Musa Dangana has advised Christians, especially SDA church to be cautious of the recent influx of self-proclaimed men of God in the society.

This, he said, was because the second coming of Jesus Christ was nearer than how people believe.

He gave the advice at a nine-day Satellite Bible Series at the New Life S.D.A church in Koforidua on the theme ‘Almost Home.’

It was organised by the Church to reach out to the world and remind Christians of the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Dangana warned the church against such the self-proclaimed pastors who do not bring hope to people but rather lead them into their graves before their time.

According to Pastor Dangana, the teachings of the false pastors and men of God were nothing but fallacy, because they interpret the Bible in their own way without the power of God.

 ”They read the current issues in the world and attach a Bible verse they do not even understand to frighten people in these difficult times” he said.

Pastor Dangana encouraged Christians to be vigilant and decisive in order not to fall into the traps of these self-styled prophets.

He advised the church especially the SDA church members to hold on to their faith and renew their commitment and relationship with God to enjoy his promises.

He said these were the days that people should seriously run to God and stop seeking for power and material things.

The Pastor Dangana also urged political leaders to give campaign promises that can be fulfilled because everyone would account for his or her deeds on earth.

Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.

But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
