TRUE PASTORS DON'T BOW TO THE GODS OF MEN_ IGP's 31st DEC WARNING IS NOW A CLICHÉ TO US

The end-of-year all-night services are going to be held across the nation to commemorate the Birth of the Saviour of the world (JESUS CHRIST). To obstruct the message of Christmas, Ghana's IGP has always had to create a subject for discussion in order to distract the media from talking about Jesus Christ.

Sometimes, there is a conflict between allegiance to God and that of the State. It is a case of how to separate the chaff from the real wheat!

The arrogator (IGP) Dr. Dampare's posture towards pastors in Ghana is unconstitutional, unscriptural and ungodly! The church is outside his jurisdiction and he does not have a clue to the trappings of Christianity! They are too technical and convoluted for the IGP or any human Leadership to attempt to regulate! The voice of God is unfathomable to human reasoning!
That is what politicians must understand!

He is subtly trying to confuse and intimidate true men of God in Ghana. He can't suppress freedom of religion and freedom of speech by his mundanity and intolerance towards churches and clergymen in Ghana.
After all, there are appropriate constitutional bodies whose duty is to sanction "erring" clergymen.

I want to encourage every true man of God to speak boldly against evil politicians, kings, chiefs, religious leaders, celebrities, media personalities and all those who are the cause of all the woes in Ghana. The Prophets and the Apostles of old who spoke for God were never conventional but radical.

Pastors have been commissioned as Jeremiah was, _"See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”_ _JEREMIAH. 1:10._

Do we have to listen to men or God? Judge it for yourselves, fellow Ghanaians! Prophets told leaders that they were going to die because of their atrocious ways or maybe they had finished serving God's purpose in their generation!

Dr Dampare is a British-trained police officer and we know how British Police characteristically harass street preachers in the UK. Governments and Security Institutions are to be submitted to but are not to be worshipped. To interfere with worship, regulate worship or dictate to the clergy or any worship system is unacceptable, except where there has been a detection of crime!
Only God regulates worship!

Here we stand: our minds are captive to God, Christ, Scriptures, the Gospel and the fear of God!

We will not bow to the gods of men! Here we stand!

"Bold to defend forever the cause of freedom and of right!"
