Reflect on the past to guide future actions - moderator

The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), Rt Rev. Dr Frimpong-Manso, has called on christians to reflect on their past records, identify where they are now and define the new direction where they want to go, more especially in the wake of challenges facing the church and the nation today.
That he said would enable them to have faith and trust in the Lord.
Rt Rev Frimpong Manso said this in a sermon at the 20th anniversary celebration of the Ramseyer Congregation of the PCG in Accra yesterday. It was on the theme “ This is the doing of the Lord, it is marvellous in our sight”.
He said the theme for the occasion which was chosen in the context of Psalm 118:23 was quite challenging and called for sober reflection on the life and work of the congregation both as individuals and as a community of faith.
He said in order for christians to reach their goal of eternal life they must focus on Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of faith.
Rt Rev Frimpong Manso encouraged christians not to allow the desires of the flesh to distract their focus in the face of persecution, disease and want.
“In our world today there are so many things that battle against us in order to cause us to lose our grounds. We battle against rulers and authorities that is the powerful evil forces of fallen angels headed by Satan, who is a vicious fighter”, he said.
In his message to the Young Adult Fellowship (YAF), he said the period between youth and adulthood was a period of challenges and temptations.
He said there were many voices calling for attention but not every voice or fashion was the work of the Holy Spirit
He advised the youth to be wary of the tricks of the devil who wanted to mess up their lives.
Rt Rev Frimpong Manso advised the congregation to use the opportunity to pray to God for peace and stability in the country and also to remain focused as one people and one nation.
Professor Mike Oquaye also advised the church to refrain from immoral sexual activities which could undermine the church.
He said immoral sexual activities such as homosexuality and lesbianism was a sin in the eyes of God and therefore encouraged christians to remain upright in the worship of God.
He commended the church for its dedication and commitment to the Lord and charged them to win more souls for Christ.
