Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, Chairperson of the Ga Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, has asked political parties to back their promises with action when in government.
He said that an opposition party would have all the solutions to the nation’s problems with lofty promises which they failed to fulfil when they assumed power to the disappointment of the electorate.
“ Action speaks louder than promises: Ghanaians want drastic change in their lives.
“Politicians see the wrongs in this nation only when they are in opposition and will pledge to redeem Ghanaians from economic hardship but they rather do the opposite when they come into government,” he emphasised.
Preaching a sermon recently on the theme “Walking in The Light of God” at the Centenary celebration church service of the Ga Presbytery at the Calvary Congregation, Haatso, in Accra, Rev. Dr. Kwakye said he did not understand why Ghana was totally engulfed in corruption and other negative practices when majority of the members of the various political parties were believers.
“If christains are in a government but fail to change the hopeless situation we find ourselves in, then it is sad.
“Some politicians do not seek the welfare of Ghanaians when they are in power except to change their own situation.
“Ghana is in darkness; light has eluded the nation,” he said, and called on all believers to reflect the light of God in their communities.
Rev. Dr. Kwakye further told the gathering that no matter the hardship Ghanaians were going through in their democratic dispensation, it was better than military dictatorship and urged the citizenry to uphold the peace of this nation.
Dignitaries who attended the important event included Rev. Professor Emmanuel Martey, former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
