Accra, April 19, GNA - Apostle Dr Stephen K. Amoani, Chairman of the Christ Apostolic Church International (CAC), has urged Christians to let their lives shine and impact positively on members of the communities in which they lived.

Delivering a sermon at a special service organised by the Tema Community "4" Assembly of the Church to climax a 90 day prayer festival in Tema, Apostle Amoani also asked Christians to portray true love and service to humankind in order to win more souls for Christ. The theme for the service, which attracted Church members, the Mission Director and Territorial Apostles from Accra East branches was: "Travail of Zion".

Apostle Amoani charged Christians to rededicate themselves to the service of God by upholding the Christian virtues and teaching their children about the tenets of the religion. "It is only by living deeper Christian life and adhering to the values of Christianity that the Ghanaian society would be transformed to foster peace, unity and progress to the country.

"Following the footsteps of Christ and obeying the word of God would bring about the much-needed transformation and the end to conflicts and moral decadence in society," he noted. He also urged ministers of the gospel to use their love for God in fulfilling and performing their duties on earth. "Jesus was able to fulfill the assignment because of the love for God and if you use God's gift and the love for him to minister, you would serve as instruments of reconciliation for all manner of people". Reverend Prosper Agbaglo, the Host Pastor of the Community "4" Assembly explained that the 90 days prayer festivals marked the time for Christians to reflect on the love of Jesus as well as the reconciliatory power of His blood.

He reminded Christians of the fact that Christianity was all about relationship and that they must learn to relate better with others in other to win them for Christ. The host pastor said if people were genuinely committed to Christianity, there would be no immorality and sinful acts such as fornication and that this would help reduce the spread of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the country. He urged Ghanaians and Christians in particular to strive to know God better to enable them overcome their problems, adding that just as Christ died on the cross and rose again, "so will Christians overcome all problems facing them".

Rev. Agbaglo asked Christians to reflect on their lives and rededicate themselves to the service of God and humanity and called for unity among societies, adding that the death of Christ brought reconciliation to mankind and as such it must start from the house of God.
