General Overseer of The Maker's House Chapel International, Dr.
Michael Boadi Nyamekye has condemned the practice where citizens
remain indolent while depending on the state for survival.
He said it is a wrong practice for people, mostly Christians, to spend
so much time praying in church without finding some work to do and
expecting God to "feed them from heaven".
"I am tired of Christianity being a lazy fun-fair whereby all that we
do is praying and expecting God to do everything. It doesn't work that
way," he said.
He was preaching the sermon on the theme; "Wealth dynamics" to his
congregation on Sunday, December 14, 2014.
"You pray and you play your part and [you] expect God to play his
part," he stated adding that, "God did not save your soul for you to
lose your mind; you have to use your mind to create wealth for
yourself".
According to him, there will be more difficult times ahead, unless the
people desist from "hinging your happiness upon somebody's mood" and
seeing the numerous "problems around us as opportunities for wealth
creation".
"Your greatness is connected to how many streams [opportunities] are
surrounding you; until you made it and help people make it you can't
be termed as a successful person," he stated.
Dr. Boadi Nyamekye further advised followers of the various political
parties in the country not to resign their fate to the success or
failure of their parties but take advantage of policies and programmes
instituted by government to create wealth.
"Whatever [political] party that is going to come your financial
liberation is not connected to them; it is buried inside of you. You
can make it anywhere you are if you can only dig deeper into your own
soul".
