There are different perceptions of who a Christian is. A Christian is simply a follower of Christ, one who professes belief in Jesus as the Christ and follows his
teachings.
During colonization, one of the activities of the whites was
to spread the Gospel in Ghana. Each
was dispersed into various denominations which we all call the Orthodox Churches. Unfortunately, we
can’t even categorize some churches under any these days. We must ask ourselves
why we can’t.
It is simply because, there are so many churches cropping up
‘’self-appointed pastors’’ just for
the greed of money! There is the greed for money because the unemployment rate
is high and they complain there is no money in the system, therefore, the best
solution is to open a church. This clearly means, opening a church is a form of
a business now.
Another point worth mentioning is, they know the needs of
our ‘’supposed God-fearing citizens’’.
Christianity must be worshiping God
with our hearts but lately, we find people going to church solely for social
purposes and miracles. Yes! Miracles
are important but they are lacking faith in God and putting trust in man. A typical example is couples moving from one
church to another because they need a child. Other vital factors include,
making pastors pray for them for visas,
marriages jobs, etc.
Well, I conclude by saying, Christians must
worship God with the right ideology
but not for personal needs.
