‘Mould people with the word of God’
Men of God should not try to mould people with their own ideas, inclinations and practices but through the knowledge in the word of God, Bishop Samuel Sarpong Kwakwa has cautioned.
He said most men of God and for that matter Christians only believed in God but did not know Him personally in their lives.
Bishop Kwakwa, who is the founder of the Reigning Power Gospel Church International, gave the caution in an interview with The Spectator on the topic “Becoming a strong Christian” at Koforidua.
He said the world would be a safe haven for mankind if Christians would take time to study the word of God and know His ways.
According to him, all the social vices had come about due to the failure of the men of God to play their role responsibly.
He said many people had believed and accepted Christ as their personal savior but have not searched to know Him.
He said those who knew their God did not collect bribe, or continue in sin adding that any “Christian who knows his or her God never mingles himself or herself with things that are not right.”

The Ghana Police Service has arrested three (3) suspects in connection with a case of possession of narcotic drugs and engaging in prohibited drug-related activities within the Accra metropolis.
On April 10, 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police received intelligence that a group of individuals were planning to engage in the sale of suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu in Accra.
A surveillance operation was mounted and on 11th April 2026, a Police team proceeded to the area and arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba.
The suspects were found in possession of twenty-two (22) compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, which were being prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.
Further interrogation of the suspects led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe as a key figure in the drug trade.
A follow-up operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest after Police mounted surveillance during a planned transaction involving proceeds from the sale of the suspected drugs.
The suspect later led Police to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search resulted in the retrieval of an amount of GHc400,000 and a counting machine.
According to the police, during the operation, he attempted to bribe the arresting officers with an additional GHc420,000, which has been retained as evidence.
All the suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations and will be put before the court.
