Christians urged to be honest in dealings

The Bishop of Berberati in the Central African Republic (CAR), Most Rev. Dennis Kofi Agbenyadzi, has urged Christians to demonstrate the spirit of honesty in all their dealings.

He said following Jesus Christ, who is the light of the world, demanded that they succumbed to the teachings of Jesus, “lead upright lives devoid of lies and all forms of evil,” he said.

In a homily at St. John of God Catholic Church, Amrahia, near Oyibi in Accra recently, he asked the faithful to reflect on the values of integrity and truthfulness.

Bishop Agbenyadzi advised them to pray constantly in order to enable them to overcome the myriad of temptations in the world.

He urged all to keep in high esteem their baptismal vows, always study the word of God, and stressed the need for them to spend valuable time in adoration to the Blessed Sacrament.

During the Holy Mass, Madam Mabel Dzokoto, who was elected as the fourth President of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus Society of St. John of God Catholic Church, Amrahia, was introduced to the congregation and prayed over.

Opanyin Mabel Dzokoto, who is also known for her charitable works in the church, had provided choir robes for the Youth Choir of the church.

Additionally, as the Past Noble Advisor, Madam Dzokoto is serving her second term as the Regional Secretary/Regional Monitoring and Evaluation Officer of the Ho/Jasikan Region of the Marshallan Society. She is also credited as the founding member of St. John of God Catholic Church, Amrahia, Marshallan Association, as well as the Acting Vice Chairperson of the association.

Madam Dzokoto, who solicited the support of all during her tenure, called for love and the spiritual upliftment of members.

Opanyin Catherine Mensah, who is the immediate past President of the association, said membership had grown from 25 to 108, increased its finances and expressed her willingness to mentor the Children’s Wing of the society, known as the ‘Little Flowers’.

A patron of the society, Opanyin Irene Budu, urged members to imitate the examples of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus in their lives.
