Don’t lose faith in God despite Coronavirus – Rev Tetteh
The youth have been advised not to lose faith in God and presume that the world was coming to an end due to the upsurge of the deadly coronavirus disease.
The Founder and Leader of Drill Church International, Accra, Rev Juliet Tetteh, in an interview with The Spectator said the outbreak of the disease should serve as a lesson to the youth, draw them closer to God and help them to abandon the idea of chasing wealth irrespective of how they were acquired.
She asked the youth to look up to God for salvation since without God there was nothing they could do to attain success on earth.
Rev Tetteh asked them to remember God’s promise that tough the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, his love would still remain with those who fear him.
She, therefore, urged the youth to eschew sexual immorality and pursue the path of holiness because the devil was determined to lure Christians from the truth and lead their souls to perdition.
The woman of God advised couples to keep the marital bed pure from contamination since it was displeasing to God, adding that faithful men would abound with blessings.
She charged them to keep God’s commandments and walk in his ways.
Rev Tetteh asked them to work zealously for God because the devil would capitalise on their weaknesses and draw their hearts away.
She asked the youth to abandon the various means of getting rich quick, including ‘Sakawa,’ and all forms of idol worship because it would attract grave punishment from God.

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.

Ghana has signed a debt restructuring agreement with the Kingdom of Belgium as part of efforts to restore the country’s economic stability after the financial crisis that hit the nation in 2022 and 2023.
The Minister of Finance, Cassiel Ato Forson, today disclosed that he signed the agreement on behalf of the Government of Ghana.
He explained that Ghana experienced a very difficult period during the crisis, which forced the government at the time to declare a debt default.
However, he indicated that the country is now recovering and witnessing a significant economic turnaround.
According to him, stronger systems are also being put in place to ensure that Ghana does not return to such a situation again.
Dr Forson noted that the agreement with Belgium is the eighth deal Ghana has concluded with countries under the Official Creditor Committee as part of its external debt restructuring programme.
He expressed appreciation to the Government of Belgium for its support and partnership with Ghana during the process.
The Finance Minister thanked Carole van Eyll, Ambassador of Belgium to Ghana, for her role in strengthening relations between the two countries.
The agreement forms part of Ghana’s broader effort to restructure its external debts and stabilise the economy following the crisis.
