Beloved in Christ Ministry

Ghana and other African countries at large are going through energy crisis leading to blackouts in their cities for several hours day and night. Citizens have become disillusioned and stressed out as a result of the constant darkness. Businesses are fast collapsing and hundreds of workers are losing t heir jobs. As politicians feverishly search for solutions for these problem- without much hope, it is incumbent on African Christians to take up the issue and do what we know best , pray. Prayer moves mountains and it can change the fortunes of the continent. The bible says we should ask and we shall be given , we should knock and it shall be opened to us.

So many nations in Sub-Saharan Africa went to war in the 1980s and 1990s but Ghana stayed together amidst political differences. Though some are arguing that there is nothing to celebrate, for me we can celebrate the fact that our ethnic differences and political strife have not ended in war, and that the almighty God who took care of the country 50 year ago, has not abandoned us for our enemies to trample over us.
