Accra, Jan. 1, GNA - Ghanaians should take concrete decisions on whatever they wanted to do this year and stop playing games with their lives, Lieutenant General Joshua Hamidu (rtd), Former Ghana High Commissioner to Nigeria, has said.

Lt. Gen Hamidu, who was delivering an address at the watch night service at the Ghana Police Church, said being Christians meant walking the path of righteousness.

He said it was through God's grace that mankind was saved adding that God's love went further to sanctify to make it possible for man to abide in Christ.
