Gospel artiste, Michael Danso, has urged Christians to live lives that are pleasing to God instead of glorifying worldly fantasies which could lead them astray.

According to him humankind, especially Christians, were failing to love one another as Jesus Christ instructed hence the surge in unruly behaviours in recent times.

Speaking to The Spectator ahead of the release of his new single titled ‘Odo’ (love) available on all digital music platforms today, October 15, 2022, Mr Danso contended that, some behavioural patterns in recent years had proven that many Christians were“wandering from their faith.”

That, he said, partly accounted for the lawlessness, defiance and indifferent posture some believers exhibited towards church, societal and national issues.

“It is a scary reality that many redeemed Christians have left their first love and allowed Satan to intrude and distract their Christian way of life by committing to loving other things that bring them satisfaction and inner joy.

“The period when individuals and families used to have quiet moments and blazing intimacy with God is gradually fading out and these clearly demonstrate that many redeemed souls are not satisfied in God any longer,” he observed.

He said some Christians in the name of “I know my right” had refused to stay disciplined or follow laid down procedures while others continue to fancy things that takes away them from the presence of God.

The musician, therefore, believes steps must be taken to prevent Christians from “heading towards darkness.”

“It is for this reason that God has blessed me with a timely, concise, and accurate message in ‘Odo’ (love) to admonish the children of God to return to Him,” he noted.

The song, he adds, “is a call to Christians and non-Christians to remember where they have grown cold in love for God and affection for humanity, and the need to repent and return to genuine habits.”

The ‘He Never Fails’ composer said those who loved God should follow His command, adding that God’s love was constant, therefore, those who had gone wayward could always return to Him.

“Tell Him you have grown cold, tell Him you have entertained other love. He stands ready to forgive and restore you. He is calling us to return to where we once fell,” he stated.

Constitutional review: Government accepts proposal to abolish death penalty – Dominic Ayine

Published

on

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.

He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.

Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.

According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.

He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.

Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.

He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
