All over the world, investors are competing with one another to set up businesses to promote their interests.
Such businesses are good because they offer employment to various people. Apart from that the goods and services produced help to improve upon the welfare of people.
It is, therefore, necessary that investments are attracted into certain places. For this reason all countries try to attract investors into their fold.
ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES
It is, therefore, well known that countries around the world are going through serious economic difficulties.
Difficulties prevail everywhere in the world but much depends on the managers of the economy. It is in the light of this that sound economic management is needed to address all challenges facing a country.
Without such sound economic management, it will be difficult for any country to make it to the top in the world. This is a great challenge facing all countries and government.
INVESTMENT DESTINATION
It is not an easy task to see Ghana as the best investment destination in Africa. What this means is that all investors, be they individuals or corporate bodies, can come in to the country for investment purposes.
The truth of the matter is that the country is transparent in its management of national affairs in all sectors of the economy. This builds confidence in the investment climate, by encouraging prospective investors and attracting investors into the country.
COURT SYSTEM
The court system is also working and any investors can be protected under the laws of the country.
Apart from rule of law, there is freedom of expression and investors are always free to go about their duties without fear or favour provided the laws of the country are obeyed.
It is equally important to note that the economy has recovered from the COVID-19 Pandemic and is doing reasonably well. Indications are that within a short time, the economy will be on a great sound footing in future. Business enties are making profit as expected.
INVESTORS
Many investors are already in the country and doing well in their respective areas of operation. This is what Ghana today has become and that is why many investors are coming into the country from various parts of the world.
In addition to all this, Ghanaians are also friendly by nature and will be prepared to assist all foreign investors to go about their duties with ease.
There is total peace in the country and this is encouraging all business men and women to go about their duties and operations without much difficulty. This peaceful and conducive atmosphere ought to be maintained at all times.
CHALLENGES
There are, however, a few things that ought to be improved upon to make things better. In the first place we need to tighten the security system in the country. If the security system is improved upon, the people will embrace it with great interest. Also, the issue of traffic congestion will have to be addressed. This will facilitate smooth and easy movement of person and goods from place to place.
There is no doubt that there are a few challenges facing the nation but the government is working hard to address these challenges or problems facing the country. Conditions in the country are good and satisfactory and that explains why Ghana is now perceived as the best investment destination in the whole Africa.
We need to keep this enviable record for our present and future generations and work hard to improve the situation and make Ghana one of the most investment destinations in the whole world. This is achievable so we need to work hard towards it.

On Sunday, August 13, 2026, the Church of Pentecost (COP) International, Finland, held an impressive church service in Helsinki in honour of and to welcome Prophet Benjamin Arthur as the new National Head.
The well-attended service formally ushered in Prophet Arthur who takes over from Apostle Francis Owusu Kwaah, who has been the National Head since November 2020 and whose tenure as the National Head ended last month.
Prophet Arthur arrived in Finland from the UK where he has held many positions in the church to replace Apostle Owusu Kwaah who moves back to the UK.
A touching welcome and powerful ministration
The church service was officiated by Apostle Seth Samuel Asante, the National Head of the Church of Pentecost, USA.
It was a touching welcome church service and ministration at a well-attended event. In attendance were many religious leaders from other churches or missions, as well as dignitaries.
Apostle Asante had the honour to introduce Prophet Arthur to the whole congregation as the new National Head in Finland. He was joined by other church leaders and officers from UK, USA, and Finland to pray for Prophet Arthur and handed him over to COP Finland as their new National Head to a huge applause.
Earlier, Apostle Asante delivered a powerful and touching sermon that highlighted a message of salvation and the importance of knowing, loving and serving God with one’s whole heart. He entreated the audience to love God and do His work to glorify his name.
Stirring up understandings from the hymns: “My faith has found a resting place…” and “Guide me O Thou great Jehovah…,” as well as a number of quotations from the Bible, the Apostle gave a powerful preaching on the need to build one’s faith in God.
Response from the new National Head
In response, Prophet Benjamin Arthur preached the power of prophecies and God’s plan for redemption. He entreated all to believe in God’s power especially through prophecies to save mankind. The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, he noted and add: “The blood of Jesus is not shed in vain”.
Surrounded by his beloved wife, Mrs Eugenia Arthur, and their three children, Prophet Arthur expressed gratitude to the members of the church for the resounding welcome they have accorded him as he starts to embark on his role and duty as the National Head.
He recognised the exploits and excellent leadership roles of his predecessors, Apostle Edmund Appiah (who was the first National Head) and Apostle Francis Owusu Kwaah.
COP’s future and growth in Finland
The Church of Pentecost in Finland was established over 25 years ago. It started in September 2000 as a prayer group with a small number of devoted persons in Helsinki (see www.copfinland.fi).
The group grew fast and there was the need to secure a new place of worship in the Helsinki area. The Church has grown and spread to other towns and cities in Finland.
Today, in Helsinki alone there are two branches of the Church. There is the Akan Assembly where worship is done mostly in the Twi language. The other branch is the English Assembly (or the PIWC) which is attended by other nationalities and African immigrants aside Ghanaian immigrants.
The COP Finland has become very formidable in the religious space in the Ghanaian community in Finland.
It has thus played a prominent role in the religious or spiritual existence of its members, as well as in people’s social lives as a key aspect of integration into the Finnish society.
The church continues to grow and, for example, it has been one of the major channels through which the Ghana Union Finland (GUF), an association for Ghanaian immigrants in Finland, has made more contacts with members of the Ghanaian immigrant community.

Responding to religious insults with faith, wisdom and restraint …The Prophetic Model for Muslim–Christian Peace and Coexistence(Part 1)
All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds. We praise Him, seek His help and forgiveness, and seek refuge in Him from the evil within ourselves and from our evil deeds.
May His Peace and Blessings be Upon the Noble Prophet Mohammed, his household, companions and all righteous people till the Last Day. Ameen
GHANA, WE MUST NOT ALLOW A MOMENT OF ANGER TO DESTROY DECADES OF PEACE
My dear brothers and sisters in Ghana.
Today I speak about something that should concern every Muslim, every Christian and every responsible Ghanaian.
Recent events involving controversial statements about Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the arrest of an Islamic cleric accused of making statements advocating violence, and the arrest of a Christian preacher over alleged derogatory comments concerning the Prophet (pbuh) have generated considerable national concern. The Ghana Police Service has said the matters are under investigation and that due process will apply.
And now, reports of an alleged assault on a detained pastor have added another troubling dimension to the matter.
Let us be very clear:
Ghana is not at war.
Muslims are not at war with Christians.
2 | P a g e
Christians are not at war with Muslims.
For generations, we have lived together, traded together, worked together, attended the same schools, built communities together and, in many Ghanaian families, even married across religious lines.
Therefore, we must not allow the reckless words or actions of a few individuals to destroy the peace built by generations.
WHEN SOMEONE INSULTS THE PROPHET (PBUH), WHAT DOES ISLAM EXPECT
FROM ME?
This is the question we must answer.
Not: “How angry am I?”
But: “What does Allah require from me?”
Not: “What can I do to my enemy?”
But: “What did Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) do when his enemies hurt him?”
This distinction is crucial.
Islam does not teach us to abandon our faith when we are provoked.
Islam teaches us how to behave because we have faith.
Allah says:
“Do not let the hatred of a people cause you to depart from justice. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.” (Qur’an 5:8).
Notice the greatness of Islam.
Allah does not say, “Be just when people respect you.”
He says, be just even when you hate what they have done.
Therefore: An insult does not give me permission to become unjust.
