 The North Kaneshie District Minister and Minister-in-Charge of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana’s Christ Family Congregation, Rev. Charles Adom Darkwa has expressed worry over the current difficulties in the nation.

He asserts that although Ghana is not the only nation on the globe undergoing economic problems, Jesus will always provide for those who love him.

According to him, in such circum­stances, Christians need to reflect on the Greek word ‘kairos’, implying the most appropriate for something new. The Greeks consider this as the most appropriate for something new and the appointed time, he said.

Rev. Darkwa was speaking ahead of the climax of the ‘week-long which began last Monday. The programme dubbed, ‘Ebere no so a na aso’ on the theme: ‘My kairos, my season’ from Isaiah 49:8 is the first to be held at the district level this year.

All seven congregations and preaching points in the North Kane­shie District namely; Christ Family Congregation, Bethel Congregation,

 Prince of Peace Congregation, Love Congregation, Fritz Ramseyer Con­gregation, Glory Preaching and Circle Preaching Point Point participated in the week-long programme.

Giving an insight into what Kairos meant, Rev. Darkwa cited Mark 10:46 on how blind Bartimaeus received his sight. He said, when blind Bartimae­us heard of Jesus’ passing, he cried for help but many rebuked him and told him to be quiet. However, he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” According to the Bible, Jesus stopped and called Blind Bartimaeus and he received his sight. Therefore the subsequent healing of the Blind Bartimaeus meant his Kairos time.

Rev. Darkwa attributed the current hardship to an instance in the Bible. “There was a time of hardship in the Bible when people cried to Jesus and He heard them”, he said. He however, stressed the need for prayers of rev­elation which according to him brings about a total change in the lives of the people.

He therefore urged Christians to meditate on Psalm 119:126 and keep praying to God for an answer.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.

According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.

He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.

Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.

He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.

“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.

Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.

He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.

He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
