CHRISTIAN DIVINE CHURCH MARKS 50TH ANNIVERSARY (PAGE 35, JULY 13)

THE Central Regional Pastor of the Christian Divine Church, Pastor Techie Menson, has urged Christians to endeavour to influence others positively for the benefit of the Christian community and society.
Pastor Menson said the best legacy a good Christian could leave society was to lead a life that impacted positively on people.
Preaching at the 50th anniversary celebration of the church at the Jubilee Park in Cape Coast, Pastor Menson said Christians could do so if they were able to change the bad behaviour, character and attitude of other people.
He said the biblical David was able to influence others due to his courage and that Jesus also changed the profession of the fishermen he commanded to follow Him to preach the word.
Pastor Menson wondered why some Christians had waited this long in impacting good virtues into their generation.
He however, cautioned against negative tendencies such as extremism which could lead to destruction.
He, therefore, advised Christians to avoid joining bad groups, chart a good cause and shine like the light which brightens a city.
Activities which marked the seven-day event included ministration, talk on prostitution,child labour and prayers for the nation.
