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.

Businessman Mr. Ibrahim Mahama has denied reports linking him to a takeover bid for the Volta Aluminium Company (VALCO).
His reaction follows a demonstration by members of the VALCO Labour Union today, during which some protesters alleged that Mr. Mahama was interested in acquiring the state-owned aluminium company.
In a statement issued by his Special Aide, Rafik Mahama, the businessman said he has “no such interest” and has not made any offer to acquire VALCO.
“The allegation is the latest in several vile attempts to impute the integrity of Mr. Ibrahim Mahama and subject him to needless public engagements,” the statement said.
The statement added that Mr. Mahama’s business track record speaks for itself, describing his companies as “some of the best-run operations across the African continent.”
It further noted that all of Mr. Mahama’s business interests were “legally commenced or acquired” and operate within the law a fact it said explains why his businesses have endured across seven election cycles.
“Mr. Mahama remains committed to contributing his quota to the development of Ghana by investing in business opportunities in Ghana and beyond,” the statement added.
The statement also disclosed that Mr. Mahama has instructed his lawyers to take the necessary legal action over the publication and allegations.

The leadership of Kristo Asafo has dismissed reports circulating on social media and in some media outlets that the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka will be buried on July 30, 2026, describing the claim as false.
The current head of the Kantanka family and leader of Kristo Asafo, Kwadwo Safo Akofena Kantanka, addressed the issue during a press conference in Accra today.
He said no burial date has been set and urged members of the church and the general public to disregard any unofficial announcements.
“I urge the members of Kristo Asafo and the nation to disregard any burial date out there,” Akofena said.
He further stressed that neither the leadership of the church nor the Kantanka family has made any such announcement regarding the funeral.
According to him, all official funeral arrangements will be communicated only through a formal statement from the Kantanka family when the time is due.
Akofena Safo Kantanka said the family remains united in ensuring that the final funeral rites are conducted in a manner that befits the legacy of the late Apostle.
He called on Ghanaians to remain calm and wait for the official communication from the family, warning against the spread of misinformation.
Background
Apostle Dr. Ing. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, founder and spiritual leader of Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana, passed away recently, plunging the church and the nation into mourning.
The late Apostle was widely known not only as a religious leader but also as an industrialist, inventor, and founder of the Kantanka Group of Companies, which manufactures vehicles and other machinery in Ghana.
Since his passing, there has been heightened public interest in his funeral arrangements.
It would be recalled that a faction of the siblings and family led by former MP Adwoa Safo had earlier announced a proposed burial date and arrangements.
That announcement, however, has been rejected by the current leadership of both the church and the family.
