Teach your followers to be law abiding says Amissah-Arthur

Vice President Amissah-Arthur has advised political party leaders to ensure that their followers learn to be law abiding because if the security of the nation breaks down there will be no political party to rule the nation. He urged Ghanaians to be tolerance and harmony, especially as we prepare for the November General Election and resist any act that could cause distraction to the peace of the nation.

He made this remarks when he was addressing the Opening Service of the 42nd Session of the General Council Meetings, held at the Pentecost Convention Centre, at Gomoa Fetteh.

The meeting which is on the theme: “Hearing and Obeying the Lord’s Voice in my Generation”, is being attended by the heads of the Church’s Ministries, Elders, and missionaries across the world.

The meeting would also discuss the State of the Church, the 2015 Financial Reports and 2016 Budget Proposals and also elect some executive members. The Vice President said every citizen had a role to play to maintain the integrity of the nation by doing nothing but only what is right.

He applauded religious bodies for the important roles they had played over the years to keep the country safe and secure. He, however, cautioned against using religion to divide the nation, saying this could be harmful to the country’s development. “Let us conduct ourselves in a manner that will always promote peace and development of the nation,” he stressed. He called on Ghanaians to demonstrate responsible behavior, culture of tolerance, respect for one another and the rule of law.

Later, Vice President Amissah-Arthur presented 300 copies of the Green Books titled, “Changing Lives, Transforming Ghana”, to the Pentecost Church.
