Christian Leadership Sleeping on their Divine Assignment...CVM



Revivalism Dying in Ghana; Christian Leadership Sleeping on their Divine Assignment

Revivalism is an increased spiritual interest in the life of Christian Society and expansion of God's Kingdom with a local, national and global effect.  Revivals are  aimed at massive soul winning agendas in an effort to increase the Christian Population across Nations of the World.

 The religions composition of Ghana in the first post independence Population Census of 1960 were:
1. 41% Christians
2. 25% Muslims
3. 23% Traditionalists
4. 9% Others

 According to the 2010 Population Census, Christianity is still the largest faith group in Ghana with approximately 71.2% of the total population, Muslims declined from 25% to 17.6%, Traditionalists declined from 23% to 5.2% and others declined from 9% to 0.8%.

                ADVERTISEMEN


This remarkable sharp growth of Christianity from 41% in 1960 to 71.2% in 2010 largely attributed to the Spirit of Revivalism operating in the era of 1970s, 1980s and 1990s championed by the Pentecost Movement pioneered by Apostle Peter Kwaku Mensah Newman Anim of Christ Apostolic Church International and Reverend James Mckeown of the Pentecost Church and Charismatic Movement pioneered by Reverend Enoch Immanuel Amanor Agbozo of the Ghana Evangelical Society (GES) and Archbishop Nicolas Duncan Williams of the Action Chapel International.

 These aforementioned Revivalists contributed immensely to the training  and mentorship of several other Revivalists in the 80s and 90s who traveled the length and breadth of Ghana winning souls and establishing Churches.

 Through Duncan Williams,  Revivalists such as Dag Heward-Mills, Rev. Ampiah Kwofie, Rev. Eastwood Anaba, Rev. Steve Mensah and several others were raised to propagate the spreading of the Gospel across Ghana including Campuses.

 Rev. Enoch Immanuel Amanor Agbozo's Ghana Evangelical Society (GES) also did play a yeoman's role in the development and training of Pastor Mensah Otabil, Bishop Charles Agyin Asare, Rev. Eric Kwapong, Rev. David Abbey and several others to help the propagation of the Gospel across Ghana including Campuses.

 The late Brother Amoako and Bishop Asare Bediako of Resurrection Power and Living Bread Ministries also played their yeoman's role in raising several Pastors in the spreading of the Gospel.

                 ADVERTISEMENT

In the early 90s, several Revivalists were also raised such as Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah of Royal House Chapel, Bishop Nii Tackie Yarboi of Victory Bible Church, Rev. Gordon Kisseih of Family Life Church, Rev. Victor Osei of Family Chapel and others to contribute to the spreading of the Gospel across Ghana including Campuses.

 However, the Catholic Church, Methodist Church, SDA, Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Apostolic Church, Christ Apostolic Church International, Church of Pentecost and other Churches continue to spread the Gospel alongside the Charismatic Movement.

 The early aforementioned Revivalists performed creditably well to ensure the fastest spreading of the Gospel and growing of the Church in the  70s, 80s and 90s.  They were able to reach out to almost every Soul at that time, filling Sport Stadiums during crusades in the absence of today's Technology, Advertising, Private Media and Social Media Platforms.

 But now, there is enormous presence of Technology, Media, advertising methodologies  and Social Media Platforms yet the Spirit of Revivalism is seriously Dying in Ghana. The appetite for God's Word and Christianity is Dying rapidly in Ghana.

 Charlatan Pastors with satanic and false doctrines are on the rise and True Revivalists are sleeping on their Divine Assignment to reach out to the perishing souls.

 The focus of majority of Pastors today is useless competition amongst themselves. Pastors with Churches too are harassing, intimidating, misguiding, and misbehaving towards  Souls and Congregants.

 2020 Population Census would determine whether Christianity has increased or decreased in the last 10 years from 2010. And it would be a very big disappointment and embarrassment to the Christian Community if the population of Christians drop from 71.2% downwards after the 2020 Population Census.

 The big question now is, as 2020 Population Census approaches, what is the Christian Community especially the Revivalists doing to increase the Christian population from 71.2% upwards to the Glory of Christ Jesus?

NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele" With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah

  NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele"  With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies....Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer.

NPP Government Shortchanges Cocoa Farmers: A Closer Look at the Discrepancies.... Twifo Atti-Morkwa NDC Communication Officer. In recent years, Ghana's cocoa farmers have faced significant disparities in the payments they receive for their hard work. A comparison of current cocoa pricing practices under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government with those from the era of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) highlights a troubling trend: farmers are being shortchanged, while the government profits disproportionately. As of today, the global market price for cocoa stands at $6,470 per ton. With an exchange rate of Ghc 16.35 to $1, this translates to Ghc 105,784.50 per ton in Ghanaian cedis. Given that one ton comprises 16 bags, this sets the price per bag at Ghc 6,611.00. However, the current government pays cocoa farmers only Ghc 3,000 per ton—just 45.39% of the total price—retaining the remaining 54.61%, or Ghc 3,609.52 per ton. In stark contrast, under the NDC government led by J...

Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah

  Galamsey Fight: Government Must Tread Carefully to Avoid Judgement Debt -- Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah The Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Peoples Congress (APC) and renowned economist, Rev Dr. Worlanyo Mensah, has cautioned the government to exercise restraint in addressing illegal mining activities, popularly known as "galamsey." Dr. Mensah warned that hasty actions, driven by calls from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), could lead to substantial judgement debts. "Many Ghanaians are advocating for drastic measures, including 'shoot and kill' operations and burning excavators at galamsey sites, under the guise of executive directives, which lack legal backing," Dr. Mensah said. While acknowledging the need to stop illegal mining, Dr. Mensah emphasized that such actions must be grounded in law to achieve their intended purpose. "The government must not forget that foreign and local mining firms with prospective mining licenses from the Ministry o...
