THEME: THE MANTLE OF SERVANTHOOD: RESTORING THE DIVINE PATH AND KINGDOM ORDER IN THE NEW GHANA 

Song: O God our help in ages past our hope for years to come. 

“Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days! Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.  Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children.  And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.” (Psalm 90: 1-2, 14-17 KJV)  

Beloved, we have gathered here as People Of God—youth and young adults seeking their place in God, the Church, and the Country ready to play their part on the Holy Path of Glory for the church, people, and nation of Ghana, and for the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth, that is in our nation, Africa, and the world. 

The Gathering today has been described as EMERGING LEADERS GATHERING. This is an expression of hope for Divine-led, sound leadership for the building and establishment of the church, people, and nation in Jehovah God and the Kingdom of God and His Christ through Christ, the Faith, and the church mission as well as Divine ordered godly government in building, establishing, and running a nation and people of God. 

Ghana stands in great righteous, just, and progressive government and people of godly conduct for the praise and glory of God in all her affairs. In short, our gathering is to contemplate, deliberate, and establish within ourselves, our spirits, hearts, and minds the Divine Path for Heaven-established Kingdom Glory Order on earth, that is, with the church, people, government, and nation of Ghana and Africa. The Emerging Christian Leadership in church and nation is a vision and mission of a New Order for our country, Africa, and the world.  

The Christian Youth Summit Gathering of April 5, 2014, at Centuries House, Haatso was described as a Gathering for the Celebration of God and Divine Path of Glory for Beloved and Blessed country, Ghana. We were reminded that the Christian Youth in the nation has great responsibility and duty towards themselves and the generations following to critically consider the leadership type and standard of conduct and character of leadership in the land. The theme for the Summit was “BEHOLD A DAY OF GLORY IS AT HAND.” 

We were reminded at the Youth Summit that the nature, values, character, and performance of the youth and their leadership today is very critical for the expected future and hope for the country.  

 

The questions raised at the summit were: 

I. What is the nature, character, values, and ways of conduct and LIFE in general of the youth of Ghana today? 

II. What is the vision, direction, plans and works of today’s youth of Ghana? 

III. Where is or will the nation be drifted and directed by the Youth of Ghana today, the more so that the youth constitute the majority of citizens of the country. And Christian youth can safely be said are in the majority. 

It was concluded that the Christian Youth—their belief systems, values, character, conduct, and works—are essential and indeed very critical for the country, present, and future Ghana that is.  

This is the background spirit that informed EMERGING LEADERS GATHERING today, June 14, 2014. We were confronted with a New Ghana of Divine origin glorious in perception, beautiful for situation, that has been given a new name Beulah, or Beulah Land and the New Jerusalem by the Most High God. The New Ghana is a Christian nation firmly established in the Kingdom of God and His Christ through Christ (Messianic) Davidic government and Kingdom order, His reign, and rule in the land. The follow-up Gathering of Emerging Leaders has a duty not only to examine and review the state of the youth, the church, the government and the nation. The Gathering has a duty also to consider the Divine Path of Glory presented at the Youth Summit. 

Towards this, we are arranging to print, publish, and make available the paper presented to all Christian Youth Groups and Emerging Leaders in the church, government, and nation for special study and follow-up conference and/or forum for agreed systems, values, conduct, character, and direction in ways and performance for the nation. We plan therefore to confine deliberation at the Emerging Leaders Gathering of June 14, 2014, to current pressing issues in the church, government, and prospects for the nation. The critical situation before the church and people is this! The nation is drifting away from God, The Divine Redemption, and Kingdom Glory Path established and set in place by the Most High God for the New Ghana.  

According to the Lord, the nation is facing a serious leadership crisis in the Church and government of the land. Simply put, there is emerging Unrighteous, Wicked, Lawless, and Ungodly Leadership in the nation. This has brought about much woe, suffering, pain, and mourning of the people around the country. There is no peace, joy, nor hope, and happiness anywhere. There is on the other hand confusion, a medley of challenges causing uncertainty, instability, and non-direction in the governance, running, and management of the affairs of the country.  The nation’s progress, march, stability, and security are virtually at a standstill.  It is only the People’s Trust, Faith, and Hope in God—their prayers, calls, and cries for the mercy of God—that have kept the nation still and afloat in the high waters and seas of challenges. Christian Ghana is in pain and restlessness! This has created Divine resilience for the nation. There is hope in God.  

Christian Emerging Leaders in Ghana is faced therefore with a major crisis—in the Church, the government, the state and the nation.  There is an urgent need to deliberate on the crisis on hand—the nature and state of leadership in church, government, and nation now.  We must need deliberate on and establish matters concerning church, politics, and government and public order before we turn to the Divine Path of Glory for Beulah, Ghana. 

 

INTRODUCTION 

The Lord’s word on the state of affairs in beloved Christian Ghana, the nation, and people of God is that the leadership in the church, government, and nation has drifted away in the rejection of God, His redemption, and Kingdom glory agenda, reign, and rule of the nation.  

This is causing the entire nation to drift away from the Divine Path of Glory set for the nation in the Christ (Messianic) Redemption, Restoration, and Kingdom Glory order for Peace, Righteousness, Judgement, Justice, Joy, Progress, Prosperity, and Good in Divine Providence and Hand, Reign, and Rule of the nation. There is a major return to idolatry, Satan power, and human intelligence, spirit, and mind power in the land. The worship of Satan and money has taken precedence in the nation. Thus corruption, dishonesty, evil, wickedness, faithlessness, and lawlessness have exploded in church, politics, business, and government in Ghana. The nation is suffering much a dire consequence. 

 

THREE THINGS WORTH CONSIDERATION 

A. The Three D’s – 

 (i) the Disconnection with Christ, 

 (ii) the Departure from the Truth of scripture and power of God, the Righteousness, Holiness and Faithfulness of God and 

 (iii) Desertion from the Kingdom vision and mission order in the church, particularly with Church Leadership, Teaching and Practice in the nation. 

B. The Mounting of Money, Human Knowledge, Wisdom and Wicked Ways of the world now risen in the church and leadership style in church, government and nation.  

C. The Return to Idolatry and Satan-man power, tradition, culture and ways by leadership in church, government and nation. 

D. The rise of unfaithfulness and disloyalty to country and people. 

No doubt the present state of affairs is provoking the wrath and judgement of God, hindering Divine blessing, and standing secured Hand, Defense, Security of Peace, Progress, and Prosperity of the country. The Lord has declared nonetheless, “I WILL NOT LET GHANA GO.  I WILL RESCUE THE NATION.” If this should be the case, what must Emerging Leaders Gathering in the church, government, and nation do? It goes without saying that the Emerging Christian Leaders must not just resist the temptation, desist, and turn away from the Three-D’s, the worship of Satan, money, and manpower in the church and nation, should be valiantly resisted. There must be a new voice from the pulpit, church conferences, and church councils. 

 

DISCONNECTION WITH JESUS CHRIST  

Scriptural Foundation: Psalm 2; Luke 18:8; 2nd Thessalonians 2: 1-17  

Emerging Leaders must pay particular attention to the risen Disconnection and thus Rejection of—Christ in the church. There is a “fallen away” Church. Leaders, Apostles, Prophets, Bishops/Pastors, and Teachers—who have made money, human knowledge, and power—the church mission goal and not Christ, the Truth, and true Knowledge of God, His holiness, and Kingdom order in human affairs. 

 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN GHANA 

The Knowledge, Honor, and Glory of the Kingdom of God vision and mission in the nation have suffered much a violence in the church and government. In both the church and government there is a nominal confession of faith and hope in God. But the true state of leadership in the church, politics, and governance is one of far cry from the true Worship, Knowledge, and Honour of God and His Kingdom Glory order in the nations. People are looking for Satan-man belief systems. There is thus pre-occupation with and practice of ungodly conduct in church, homes, families, and business enterprise, in politics and governance.   

 

THE MATERIAL BASIS OF LIFE AND PLEASURE AND HOPE OF GLORY IN SATAN-MAN CONTROLLED SPIRITUAL AND SOCIAL ORDER, AND WORLD ORDER IN GENERAL.  

Money, power, material possessions under Satan-man direction is the order of the day in the church, politics, business, and government. Emerging Leaders, seek not, buy not, pursue not the Satan-man politics, governance, business, and kingdom order in the land. There is great thrust for Knowledge, Position, and Power because of the Trust, Worship, and Lust for Money, and to a large extent pleasure and fame. In the process, evil, wickedness, unrighteousness, injustice, corruption, robbery, murder, and destruction have exploded everywhere in Christian God Kingdom glory Ghana. The Christian godly order is being undermined by people in cassock, designer dresses, and SUVs. 

The bottom line of the matter is that the people of Ghana are caught in a snare—the fowler by day and the wicked and terror by night. There is no escape from Divine anger and wrath either.  There is no hiding place, not even in the ‘church’. The Church and Government together deceive the people with lies, false sense of salvation, and hope. They dull the minds of the people with noisome pestilence, music, entertainment, boo, and sports. Imagine the popular saying “Say Amen”, “Receive It “, “Shout praise the Lord”.  The ultimate truth is that the enemies of God and the people shall perish. 

 

REPENTANCE THE WAY OF ESCAPE 

Brethren of the Emerging Leaders of Christian Ghana, the only way open for escape from the fowler, the wicked, and the terror, Divine anger, and wrath is REPENTANCE. God is merciful, loving, compassionate, and caring.  He is love. It is not His wish that any should perish. Indeed, all that need to be done for salvation, redemption, and restoration has been settled on the Cross.  “IT IS FINISHED”. “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” was the plea and cry of the Lord our Saviour, Redeemer, Lord, and Master, Jesus Christ.  Now is the time therefore to go out, to preach, teach, plead, and pray for repentance from all— both young and old, teacher and student, bishop and congregation, church and government, nation and people. 

 

CONCLUSION 

Beloved Brethren in Christ and the Christian Heritage and Fraternity, am blessed for the honor done me to share these thoughts, concerns, and Divine works, direction for Repentance from the Rejection of God and His Christ, the establishment of Faithlessness, Unrighteousness, Corruption, Robbery, Falsehood, and Wickedness in the leadership in church and government. This has crept into the psyche, lifestyle, and character of the people of redeemed Ghana, set up as Light and Star Divine Kingdom Nation and People in Africa. The church herself has entered into darkness and desolation, falsehood, and the snare of the fowler, deceivers, and the wicked. 

Emerging Leaders and the entire Christian Youth of Ghana must denounce, stay away from, and pray for Repentance, Restoration, and Fresh Establishment in the Divine Foundation, Truth of scriptures, the Holiness, Righteousness, and Faithfulness of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, the Faith, Knowledge of God, and true Worship of God in Spirit and in Truth. 

There are two critical factors that have broken the walls of faith, trust, and hope in God in the church, government, and nation: 

i. The worship of Satan and idolatry, the love, worship, and lust for money, power and fame, the rising tide and cry for human knowledge, power and possessions above the knowledge of God, His Light and Way in the land. 

ii. The Rise of Falsehood in preaching and teaching, false prophetic utterance, confession, and worship of God in church and nation. 

The call unto us today is one of REPENTANCE from the evil and wicked ways of Satan and men, of leadership, and ‘fathers’ in the church, government, and nation who are drifting the church, nation, and people away from the safe and secured “living waters” of God and His Kingdom Glory order into the perilous and tumultuous waters of Satan, human wisdom, knowledge and ways, of idolatry, the worship of Satan and money and with them the lust for money, power, position, possessions, and fame everywhere, particularly in church, chieftaincy, and government. For example, the Christendom has exalted human wisdom and power in the elevation of human created positions—such as Bishop, Archbishop, Pope—with stately names like “His Excellency,” “His Holiness,” “His Highness” and “Pope” far and above the position of apostles, prophets, pastors, and teachers. The evangelist is now of little consequence.  Indeed, Pastors, Bishops, and Archbishops are of higher standing than Evangelist Jesus, Prophet Isaiah and Apostles Peter, John, and Paul.  The Republican President has taken precedence over the Monarch, the Prime Minister is of higher power than the King or Emperor, the High Priest and Prophet of the nation.  The voice of the people, however manipulated, concocted, massaged or other is higher than the Voice of God.  Human spirit power, wisdom, and knowledge are of greater reference in the church and nation than the ministry and power of the Holy Spirit, the scriptures, and the word of God and the voice of God. 

From these and all we declare Repentance and revival of truth, true worship, knowledge, and service of God. Emerging Leaders can and must initiate the move. Yes, we suggest that the Emerging Leaders should take the mantle of SERVANTHOOD and not leadership as such. Christ has been described as a Servant of Humility, Meekness, Sacrificial, and Self-less Service in total Obedience. This has made Him the Lord our Righteousness, Saviour, Redeemer, and Everlasting Father. 

Let us leave here in humble adoration and pledge to Worship and Serve God and Man, Country and People in humility and dignity, sacrificial love and selfless service in true worship, knowledge and service of God. 

BE YE HOLY FOR THE FATHER, LORD AND MASTER ARE HOLY.    

May the Holy Spirit build, strengthen, and direct us in the Beauty and Holiness of God.   

May He give us the revelation of God and the beauty of His glory for Holy works pleasing to Him. 

God bless you!
