PCG North Kaneshie District holds ‘Ebere no so a na aso’
• Rev Charles Adom Darkwa
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.
