Harvey-Ewusi said these during a sermon to climax a five-day synod of the Sekondi diocese of the Methodist Church at kwesiministim. It was on the theme "Oh! Holy Spirit, Establish us in the Lord Jesus for the unfinished task".

He said all pain, suffering, sickness and other unfortunate circumstances in society were not permanent.
