People in positions of trust have been urged to be faithful, truthful and sincere in their daily activities.
The Northern Ghana Diocesan Bishop of the Methodist Church, Right Reverend Emmanuel Maclord Afriyie, who made the call, bemoaned the lack of faithfulness in the world, which he said, had resulted in all kinds of behaviour.
“It is possible for people to be faithful if they allow the Spirit of the Lord to direct them,” he added.
Bishop Afriyie was delivering a sermon during the induction of Reverend Isaac Baah –Yanney as the Upper West Regional Manager of Methodist schools in Wa.
Speaking on the theme, “The reward for being faithful to Christ”, the Methodist Bishop noted that there was reward from God when one remained faithful and committed to whatever one did, saying that reward included prosperity.
“If you are a faithful person to God, He will make you more prosperous in all endeavours and it is, therefore, for you, as a person, to dedicate yourself to God to enable you to benefit from His grace,” he said.
Bishop Afriyie prayed that God would establish His Word in the hearts of His people and appoint intercessors for faithful people.
He advised Reverend Baah–Yanney to operate in transparency and pointed out that “if you are walking in faithfulness, God makes it possible to strengthen you with all power according to its glorious might”.
“We believe that you have given thought to the new responsibilities which have been entrusted upon you and that you will weigh them, apply yourself to them and ask help from God who will enable you to fulfil yourself in this calling,” he added.
