Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former President, John Dramani Mahama, has called on the Christian Council to establish codes of conduct to regulate the actions of Christian leaders and combat the presence of false prophets.

During an induction service at the Tanoso Assemblies of God Church, Mr Mahama acknowledged that the Bible predicts the emergence of false prophets in the last days.

However, he emphasized the importance of scrutinizing their practices to ensure ethical conduct within the church.

Addressing the congregation, the NDC flagbearer expressed concern over the negative impact of false prophets, which has led some individuals to abandon their churches. Mahama urged Christians to remain resolute in their faith and not allow the actions of a few to deter them from attending church services.

He emphasized the need for Christians to serve God with sincerity, urging them to rely on discernment and a strong spiritual foundation to identify and eliminate false prophets.

He praised the Church’s leadership for their commitment, dedication, and devotion to humanity.

Also present was Osei- Kyei Mensah Bonsu, the Majority Leader of Parliament and MP for Suame, who said it’s terrible to see churches promoting consumerism rather than the essential ideals of religion.

Mr Mahama thanked the leaders of the Assemblies of God Church for their unwavering commitment to spreading the word of God.

He added that LGBTQ is repugnant to all Christian denominations, as well as the nation’s cultural beliefs and customs and that there is no way the country can tolerate it.

“Our traditions and cultures, conventions and practices do frown on this. We have Muslims and Christians in this country, fortunately for us the two major religions appeal this matter, so, however, people are trying to make it appear as if Ghana is on the brink of legislating to support this, I don’t know where this is coming from,” he indicated.

He urged the Assemblies of God Church and other clergy to pray for the country as it approaches an election year in order to build peace and togetherness.

Rev. Augustine Kofi Bempah, the newly inducted Ashanti West Regional Superintendent, thanked church leaders and members for their cooperation and support.

He promised to expand the Church’s activities, particularly by mentoring young people to become responsible Christian leaders, participating in Missions, and developing infrastructure, among other things.
