Beware of quack pastors in the last days/ Upsurge of quack pastors sign of end time
Pastor Markus Dangana Musa
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.
The Omanhene of the New Juaben Traditional Area, Daasebre Kwahu Boateng III in a speech read on his behalf by the Gyaashene of the Area, Nana Twumasi Danquah urged members to strive to live a life that reflect the love and compassion of Jesus Christ.
The Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Seth Kwame Acheampong in a speech read on his behalf by Ms. Sarah Somuah congratulated the church for its continuous support to government in education and health.
The programme was organised by the West-Central Africa Division, Southern Ghana Union Conference, East Ghana Conference and the New Life S.D.A church.
The Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Abena Osei Asare has expressed concerns about the failure of the Administrator of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) Mr. Paul Adjei to honour invitation of the Committee to assist in dealing with abandoned projects cited in the 2024 Auditor-General’s report.
She emphasised that some of the projects have been abandoned for more than 20 years and it kept reoccurring in the Auditor-General’s report yearly, stressing that the GETFund Administrator could assist by prioritising these projects.
However, he has failed to personally appear before the Committee since the commencement of the Committee’s public hearing in the 9th Parliament.
According to the 2024 Auditor-General’s report on Pre-University Educational Institutions, nine (9) Institutions with 16 projects awarded by the GET Fund Secretariat had been abandoned/delayed for a period ranging between three (3) and 28 years.
Some of the affected schools include Adanwomoase Senior High School (Boys and Girls dormitory abandoned for 12 years), Atoa Senior High School (Home Economics Block abandoned for 27 years), Beposo Senior High School (Dinning Hall and Kitchen Complex abandoned for 10 years and lastly KNUST Senior High School (Three storey classroom block abandoned for 20 years).
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy continued its oversight responsibilities with a working visit to the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) yesterday.
Chairman of the Committee, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, said the visit formed part of efforts to familiarize members with the Authority’s operations and to explore ways Parliament could provide the necessary support.
He explained that the NPA’s work is focused on regulating Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector, a critical area for national energy security.
Mr. Bedzrah noted that the Committee is particularly interested in assessing whether the country has adequate petroleum stock to meet demand.
He noted that rising geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing US–Iran conflict, could have adverse effect on Ghana’s energy supply and pricing.
He further disclosed that the Committee intends to engage closely with the Authority on a proposed new petroleum bill.
According to him, a draft of the legislation will be reviewed and possibly presented to Parliament under a certificate of urgency.
