Various churches in Koforidua organised mini conventions to celebrate the Easter.
The Church of Pentecost organised two conventions, which were addressed by the Koforidua Area Head of the church, Pastor Samuel K. Ofosu, who used the occasion to thank God for peace that had prevailed in the country after last year’s general election.
Basing his preaching on Psalm 31 and Numbers 35, he wondered why Christian festivals such as Easter had now become festivals for evil doing, which had the tendency to create problems for society.
He stressed the need for Christians to lead decent lives.
The Regional Minister, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, urged Ghanaians to use the Easter period to reconcile and bury their political differences to help move the country forward.
He also appealed parents and religious leaders to help mould the character of the youth to enable them to grow up and become disciplined citizens.
Nana Konadu Agyeman also reports from Koforidua that at the Light House Church at Adweso, Pastor David Yalley called on Christians to use the Easter as a period to seek God first in all their endeavours to enable them to enjoy the blessings, joy, happiness and love that “we yearn for so much in life”.
“Since life without God could be full of frustrations, we must always seek Christ who can direct our footsteps to enable us to enjoy the good things of life, such as children, long life, love, material wealth and happiness, that we are always desperately looking for”, Pastor Yalley said.
He also appealed to Christians not to allow themselves to be distracted by worldly pleasures, stressing “The resurrection of Christ should remind us of the blessings that await us here on earth and in Heaven”.
