THE WAY OF PEACE
THEME: THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF EASTER AS A NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR PEACE AND VICTORY
Peace be unto Ghana: to the tribes, people, and the nation—the peace and joy of God be unto all. Amen.
We present an EASTER MESSAGE from Jehovah God—Creator, Father of Jesus Christ— to the President, the Church, and Government, to the Chiefs and Elders, Tribes, People and Creation of Ghana. Blessed be the Lord God Jehovah, now and forever more. Amen.
The theme of the Message is THE WAY OF PEACE. The message is that GHANA SHOULD HENCEFORTH OBSERVE EASTSER as the celebration of peace and victory for the nation.
The Most High God has decreed that Easter 2011 be observed and celebrated as a time for the deliberation, establishment, institution, and honor of God the Creator and “The way of peace” in the land. That the conduct of the affairs of the country in politics and government, business, and enterprise, law, and order, tradition, and culture, that is the spiritual and social order as a whole be henceforth pursued in “The Way of Peace” in the knowledge of Him Jehovah.
In furtherance thereof, the Most High God has decreed further that Ghana, as a nation and a people, should seek, establish, and maintain peace in the knowledge of God as a way of conduct and life for all— the people in the nation, citizens, and strangers alike in all sectors of the political economy and in the affairs of the nation in general.
According to the Lord God Jehovah, the celebration of Easter is a celebration of peace and victory for Man and creation. Ghana, as a chosen nation and a people blessed and made Holy unto God, must know and understand this, acknowledge and observe Easter therefore in this understanding and spirit. The nation should treat and honor the celebration of Easter as the celebration of Peace and Victory for the nation.
Easter is a time of remembrance of the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, revealed and commissioned to offer His Blood as a sacrifice, atonement, and ransom for the redemption of the human soul-spirit and creation. Easter is the epitome of Divine intervention in the fallen nature and state of condemnation and death, damnation, and captivity of the human soul-spirit, hopelessness, and futility in the efforts and affairs of man.
In this regard, THE CROSS is a symbol of peace, representing:
- The love of God for humanity—condemned, suffering, and captive man.
- The eternal blood sacrifice for the atonement and remission of sin, and deliverance from all its consequences on man and creation.
- The abrogation, cancellation, and end of the law of sin and death on man—death is vanquished at the resurrection;
- The reconciliation of the world, which embraces man and beast, nations and peoples of the world.
The CROSS stands therefore for the Love of God, Peace, Life, Liberty and Hope for man. The blood shed is an eternal all-purpose, all-embracing sacrifice. The shed blood frees man from condemnation, curse, and blood sacrifice of all kinds for all purposes before the Most High God. It renders sacrifices to all spirits and powers, gods, and goddesses superfluous, unnecessary, indeed, an abomination. No spirit nor power, gods, nor goddess can demand blood from any and all who accept, come under and honor the once and for all blood shed at Calvary.
This makes the CROSS a Divine established symbol of peace for all—men and spirits alike. This spiritual stipulation is understood and accepted and is indeed binding and compelling to all spirits and powers on earth. It is because of this that Jesus Christ has been given all authority and power to forgive sins, to redeem, and restore the lost glory to man and creation. All spirits and powers know of this. Therefore, at His name, every knee bows, confessing Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
The resurrection, on the other hand, stands for the victory of Christ over Death and Satan on behalf of man. The resurrection is the process by which God has released His Divine spirit-power of conquest and victory for man to overcome human weakness as well as the powers of Satan and death. The resurrection spirit therefore restores and established man afresh in power and glory. He whom the Son shall set free shall be free indeed!
We conclude and declare that through the Blood, Resurrection, Word and Name of Jesus Christ, God the Creator has opened a heavenly door of divine power, authority, and glory for man, and for peoples and nations to stand victorious against the curses, condemnation and oppression, dark and evil works of both men and spirits as well as the dominion and control of Satan and the host of evil spirits and powers over peoples, tribes and nations. Thanks be to God who has given man Victory in Christ (1Corinthians 15:57).
The acceptance of the Blood Sacrifice, Reconciliation and Redemption of God through faith in Jesus Christ is the way of peace for peoples, nations and the world (Luke 1:79). The Way of Peace can be said to be a Divine spiritual system and heavenly order that establishes peoples, tribes, and nations in.
Let the chiefs and elders of tribes and communities in the land take time during Easter 2011 to deliberate over peace in their communities, towns, cities and nations. Let the Church liaise in the deliberations. May Ministers of State and Government appointees in the regions and districts join church, chiefs, elders and people in the celebration of God, peace and victory by and for the nation.
God has elected and chosen Ghana as a nation and a people for His Divine Inheritance and Kingdom Glory in Africa and the world (Psalm 33:12; Matthew 6:9-13,33). Blessed be Ghana. Blessed be Jehovah.
The Most High God Jehovah has decreed THE WAY OF PEACE for victory and glory for His nation and people. Let all the people praise Him. Hallelujah! AMEN!
HAPPY BLESSED EASTER TO ALL.
