Persons in leadership asked to allow God in their mission

GHANAIANS and all Christians in leadership positions have been urged to allow God to drive and encourage them in their various leadership roles to be able to make a difference in society.
The Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, Rev Herbert Anim Opong, speaking at the induction ceremony of the National Men’s Fellowship of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in Accra yesterday, stated that people in leadership positions should note that it was God who had called them into their various positions, adding that they, therefore, needed to worship God and abide by his laws.
According to him, God chose people to lead others in a group or society due to the circumstances or situations of  those people.
Rev Anim Opong, therefore, advised the newly inducted executive to work together with other groups in the church to come up with solutions to alleviate the evil and wrongdoing in the church and society at large.
“You have been called by God. You should, therefore, know the meaning of the context of your calling,” he said.
Lt Col Jonas Yaw Asamoah (retd) was inducted as the national president; Mr James Frempong, the national vice-president (Finance); Dr Steve S.Y. Yirenkyi as the national vice-president (Development and Property) and Mr  Stephen Kweku Armah as the national vice-president (Education and Evangelism).
Mr Felix Boampong Wiredu, Mr Charles Oduro Nyarko, Mr John Ofori Jnr, Mr Heiric H. Newman, Rev Peter Kofi Nyarkoh and Mr Patrick Frempong were inducted as national secretary, treasurer, financial secretary, music director, national chaplain and national public relations officer, respectively.
Inducting the executive members into office, Rev Opong, who represented the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, called on the almighty God to enlighten and strengthen them by the power of the holy spirit to enable them to discharge their duties to the glory and praise of God.
The newly inducted executive also pledged to discharge the duties of the various offices diligently and faithfully, according to the constitution of the Men’s Fellowship, to seek the material and spiritual growth of the fellowship, for the service of Christ and the nation at large.
