Matthew
6:33 mandates every believer in the Christian community to seek first
the Kingdom of God, in expectation of his goodness.
In regard of
this mandate, most Christians would not put aside the bible or make it
just a reference book but rather their source of life.
It is in
this respect that NPP Chief Scribe who has earned several marks for
being very forthright and undaunted in his political career decided to
showcase to the nation another side of his life not exposed to the
general public.
With nothing being told of his religious
background, General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party,
Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, popularly called Sir John, last Sunday
exhibited his worth when it comes to religious beliefs.
Clad in
an immaculate sea blue African wear, Sir John joined the congregation of
the Church of Pentecost, Dr Thomas Wyatt Assembly in Accra, in the
company of the party's 2012 Presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo, his Running mate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and a host of
dignitaries to express their gratitude to God for his divine guidance
over them.
During the thanksgiving service, Sir John’s received
rapturous applause from the congregants when he was for the first time
addressed as a Church Elder at the Seventh Day Adventist, instead of his
usual position as NPP General Secretary.
At this moment, Sir
John who obviously forgot his political cloak rather slipped on his
religious cassock as he passionately opened the bible to read out some
verses to the congregants when he together with Nana Addo and his Vice
mounted the pulpit.
Quoting from Psalm 136, he thanked God for
remembering the party in their "low estate...and "setting them free from
their enemies…"
Nana Addo also assured Ghanaians that his "free education" policy will be fully implemented when the NPP comes to power. |
