The Upper East Regional Chairman of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches, Evangelist Amos Jimmy Markin has implored Ghanaians not to take the prevailing peace and stability in the country for granted but rather work against all negativities that pose a threat to the nation’s peace. He said as citizens it behoves us to shun negatives virtues and hold on to the principles of integrity, justice, love, holiness and compassion to sustain the current peace for rapid socio-economic advancement. Evangelist Markin was speaking at an inter-denominational thanksgiving, fasting and prayer service held at Bolgatanga over the weekend. The national prayer session mooted by the government under the able leadership of President J.EA Mills to recognize the immeasurable preeminence of God in national building was held on the theme: “Peace, Security Sustaining, and Stability within the Borders of Ghana”. It brought together members of the various Christian denominations and Ministers of God among functionaries. Also in attendance were students from selected Senior High schools as well as representatives from the various Islamic sects. Speaking on proposed theme” Sustaining the peace, Recognizing and fixing the blind spot” Evan. Markin underscored the urgent need for Ghanaians to endorse such a national event describing it as a “direction of a good course”. He dedicated the day to God for his infinite mercies and abundant blessing extended to the region and the nation. Ghanaians, he pleaded should be grateful to God for the peace over the years, citing bizarre instances in neighboring war torn countries like Sudan and Somalia. Ghana’s peace and stability he further noted should not be taken as a pinch of salt but rather an achievement that cannot be chalked on a silver platter. According to Evan. Markin, it has become highly imperative for us as a country to work towards sustaining the country’s peace because Ghana is being touted as one of the best developing countries in the world by the international community and has become the cooperate pride and envy of many nations. With this remarkable achievement we ought to continue to pray for God’s abundant grace and desist from acts of corruption, greed, intolerance and individualism to be able to be at par with other developed countries, as envisaged by all. The Upper East Regional Minister, Mark Woyongo assured Ghanaians of government’s commitment to ensure peace before, during and after elections and called on all to complement government’s effort in that regard. He however cautioned the general public against acts of indiscipline and actions that could destabilize and undermine the country’s peace process. Mr Woyongo also reminded the public on the impending biometric registration exercise and cautioned eligible voters against double registration and electoral malpractices, stating that persons found culpable will be disenfranchised. Prayers during the event were said to seek Gods continues blessing on the country. There were also song ministrations by some church groups present at the occasion.
