THE Eastern Regional Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church, Reverend Alex Ofori Amankwaa, has cautioned journalists especially those in the regions to be prudent in their reportage at all times.
This, he said, would go a long way in preserving the peace currently prevailing in the regions and the country in general.
Rev. Amankwaa, who is also the Head Pastor of the Koforidua Central Chapel of the church, gave the caution in a New Year message he delivered on the first Sunday of the year at Koforidua.
He said journalists had the responsibility of providing the necessary information that would help maintain the country’s peaceful atmosphere where people would see themselves as one.
Rev. Amankwaa also called on the new government to see how best to address the problems associated with the recent general election, adding that it was the best way to unite the people.
“We are of the view that if journalists should be cautious in their reportage and feed the people with information that would unite them and the government also takes steps to address the problems encountered during the elections, the people would remain united and forge ahead in the development process,” he stated.
Later in a sermon, Rev. Amankwaa asked Christians to continue to show compassion to the needy.
He said christians should not compromise their faith but to follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ for a happy life that would at the same time lead to salvation.
A member of the clergy of the church, Prophet Stephen Vidzro, advised members of the congregation, especially the youth, not to take decisions that would impact negatively on them in the future.
