The Founder and leader of the House of Prayer Ministries International, Bishop Dr Samuel Yaw Adu, has said that the problems of the nation are not anything special that cannot be solved but the leaders have rather refused to seek God and know Him better.
He said book knowledge without God “is like a drop of water in the ocean because everything emanated from Him.”
Quoting from 1 Samuel 23, he said David always inquired of the Lord before taken any decision and that made him successful in all his ways.
According to him, “any leader who knows his God does not involve himself in corrupt practices because the Lord is with him and always seek the welfare of its people.”
“It is now God’s prerogative to choose teachers for our leaders because Ghana, the pacesetters and teachers of other nations are now being instructed in their duties by the IMF”, he stated.
He urged the leaders and the clergy to lay down all their big titles down, seek God and His directions for the nation.
Pastor Yaw Adu made these comments at his birthday celebration at Koforidua recently.
He said Paul with all his knowledge prayed in Philippians 3:10 that he may know God to serve His people better and, therefore, it was incumbent on the leaders to also do same to enable them steer the affairs of the nation better.
The man of God advised the youth to be disciplined and respectful to the elders of this nation.
He urged them to stop all the social vices and concentrate on their future development and appealed to all workers to put the nation first for the sake of the children and the future of Ghana.
“Ghanaian workers go to work as if the clock of the nation has been re-wound two hours back” he said, and added that the fixing of the nation was a collective effort of all.

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.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
