GHANAIANS have been advised to keep healthy surroundings and maintain hygienic environment to support efforts by city authorities to address sanitation problems.
A former Presbytery Clerk of the Ga Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Reverend Kissiedu Ayi, who gave the advice, said “we need to maintain good sanitation to prevent the spread of diseases such as malaria and control our medical bills”.
He was preaching a sermon at a harvest organised by the Anointed One Presbyterian Church at Sakumono Main to mark the church’s 50th anniversary. The theme for the celebration was “His Grace - Our Sufficiency”.
Reverend Kissiedu Ayi pointed out that it was necessary for every citizen to use his or her God-given talent to the service of mankind, in support of national development.
He called on Christians to be humble and exhibit commitment and dedication in all their endeavours as a demonstration of their commitment to the ideals of Christ.
He also advised political aspirants of the various political parties in the country to seek God’s guidance and direction, and indicated that “all good things come from God who installs a chief, and grants wisdom to leaders”.
Rev. Kissiedu Ayi stressed the need for Ghanaians to remain faithful and loyal to the service of the Lord and avoid irresponsible behaviours that negatively impacted on the country’s socio-economic development.
The Pastor in charge of the church, Rev. (Dr.) Daniel A. Anum, held a series of health talks on topics such as breast cancer and hypertension as part of the celebration, while the Catchiest, Mrs Monica Aba Otto, also led the congregation to make a donation to the Teshie Orphanage.
