Gomoa Fetteh (C/R), Feb. 5, GNA – Bishop Dr Gordon Kisseih, the First Vice President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), has admonished elected leaders and government appointees to serve humbly and faithfully in their new roles.
He said as stewards of Ghana and its people, they should always put the interest of the country first in every decision or action they took.
Dr Kisseih made these remarks during the opening of GPCC’s 2025 Conference of Heads of Churches and Organisations at the Pentecost Convention Centre at Gomoa Fetteh, Central Region.
The two-day annual event is being held on the theme: “Shining as Stars in a Perverse World,” which brought together the membership of the Council to deliberate on issues of interest.
The conference is an avenue to take stock of activities of the Council, account to members, discuss and address its challenges.
Dr Kisseih urged the political leaders to inspire hope and courage in the citizens, serving as examples for others to follow in nation building.
He advised political party supporters and activists to employ peaceful means to register their grievances in their expectations in-terms of appointments and rewards after the elections.
“Peace must be continual. It should be continuous. So we want to encourage every person to ensure that even if you have grievances, let’s use peaceful means of addressing those grievances,” he added.
Dr Kisseih called on all Ghanaians to play their respective roles in supporting the leadership in its bid to champion socioeconomic growth and development.
He urged Christians, in particular, to live as shining stars and lights of the world, saying: “As the theme suggests, your lives should portray righteous and responsible behaviour and conduct in society.”
“For Christians and believers, this is a call to rally all of us to shine as lights, to save our nation Ghana, to save our water bodies, to save our forest cover, to ensure that we get back what we all value as the values of our nation Ghana.”
