The Bishop of the Northern Accra Diocese (NAD) of the Methodist Church Ghana Rt. Rev. Prof. Joseph M.Y. Edusa-Eyison, has challenged Men of the Church to let the winning of souls for Christ be their utmost priority in all that they survey or do.
Men of the Church, he maintained, ‘must lead the way of evangelism and discipleship, making their sharing of the word to their neighbors practical, altruistic and vicarious’ to support the attainment of the mission of the Church in expanding the kingdom of God.
Addressing men of the Northern Accra Diocese of the Methodist Church Ghana during a ‘Time with the Bishop’ programme at the Immanuel Methodist Society in the Regimanuel-Gray Estates in Accra, Prof. Edusa-Eyison disclosed that one cardinal means by which the Men could win souls for Christ was by their imprinting on their hearts the unconditional love of Christ.
He said it was the religious and practical responsibility of men, especially those of the Association of Association of Methodist Men’s Fellowships to teach every on to live like Christ and to ‘serve our generation in humility.’
The Superintendent Minister of the Airport East Circuit of the Methodist Church Ghana, Very Rev. Dr. Jacob W. French in a devotion, urged the Men of to live a life of fragrance and beautiful scent wherever they found themselves.
This, he explained, would let people know and identify that a true Christian had crossed that path and left a mark worthy of emulating and that as men of Christ it was their responsibility to display the beauty, aroma, and kindness as demonstrated by the Lord Jesus Christ.
The National President of the Association of Methodist Men’s Fellowship, Mr. George Opare-Baidu said the Fellowship exists to complement the efforts of the Clergy in the spiritual and physical growth of the Church and called for a sound and positive relationship between the Fellowship and the Clergy at all times in all Societies and Circuits.
He urged the Men to consider the work of God more important than any other activities of life as there wass more blessing in offering and devoting one’s time to the service of God than any other activity.
The ‘Time with the Bishop’ programme hosted by the Airport East Circuit of the Association of Methodist Men’s Fellowships, was the second in the series for the Northern Accra Diocese and formed part of the First anniversary celebrations of the Northern Accra Diocese of the Methodist Church Ghana.
