Pastors must refrain from deceit

Ho, Aug. 16, GNA- Reverend Lawrence Sikatse, a Pastor of the International Christian Association on Sunday advised Pastors to refrain from using the banner of Christianity to engage in deceit. He was delivering a sermon at the Dela Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, at Ho-Kpodzi, in Ho on Sunday.

Rev Sikatse said tricks, which undermine the purpose of Christianity, were as evil as the act of murder.

He said material wealth means nothing in heaven and advised the rich to give to the under-privileged.

Rev Sikatse observed that the prevalence of indiscipline and strange ailments afflicting society now were Christ's test for mankind, and appealed to Christians to perceive Christ in all their endeavours by leading moral and upright lives.
