The Ghana Institute of Governance and Security wish to? ?call ??for national debate following the recent comment made by Christian Council of Ghana on the worsen ?economic situation which it says ?they are worried about. They claimed the speed at which Ghanaians are losing confidence in Government because of the fact that their needs and expectation are not being met .Indeed, we agree to a large extent to some of the issues raised in their communiqu?.

However, the Institute fined some of the issues very controversial and unpardonable with regard to some of the church members and people hanging and dying in churches. We want to ask a question how many people hanged and committed a suicide in churches as a result of the worsening economic situation having a hard toll on them. Can they identify the number of churches in which the people hanged themselves? It is upon this, we wish to remind Ghanaians to draw a line between political leader?s role and the religious leader?s role in country?s development

The politicians are responsible to undertake and make decisions about proper management of the economy and its natural resources to the benefits of all.

On the other hand, religious leaders are the managers of our soul and sense of right or wrong attitude, to provide us with spiritual fruit, high moral, ?ethical standards and largely preparing us for the right responsibilities in our societal conduct and behaviour in our daily affairs both in our homes and those occupying high political and administrative offices who are responsible for managing the affairs of this country; whose actions would impact on how the economic would fair neither rightly or wrongly which would impact on its citizens.

But what we have observed is that the two institutions are continuously failing and grossly disappointing the country.

Again, what we have observed is that Religious leaders are just training and teaching the followers to become church goers only to milk from them. In fact, many are just in the Church businesses and are taking advantage of the ignorance of the people and exploiting the church members to their benefits.

Sadly, no moral values and good principles are planted in the church members because the pastors themselves have withdrawn from the good teaching, principles, and virtues preached by our Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe many will agree to large extent that the teaching of the commandment of God has vanished from the churches. All they do is brain washing church members and playing on the emotions and at times applying psychologies.

Even though, the Bible says here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God, and have the faith of Jesus Christ will enter the kingdom of God.

Surprisingly, the Christian council and its members are doing the reverse of Jesus Christ deeds.

In fact, the teachings of the doctrine of prosperity and materialism have taken over their conscience and teachings and so, our society is struggling and suffering from the hands of our religious leaders.

Without a doubt, every politician in this country belongs to a church and is a product of the church. So, if the Christian council and their pastors have not diluted the word of God, and had chosen their own word but resulted by ?preaching the appropriate teachings ordained by God our society would ?have produce reasonable leaders and? people for this country who will be occupying the positions of trust and be doing and taken the right decision .

And so, these are the serious repercussion we are witnessing of their failure of not preaching the right doctrine leading us to high level of corruption, laziness, and ungodly actions such as crimes, bad governance, and uncaring heart and so on and so forth.

In fact, what products are the churches producing?? Wicked people including politicians who are their big donors sitting on the high table and with little feelings for common human beings but for themselves. So, if politicians are products of thousands of religious bodies why this complaints.

Despondently, one cannot help rather than say Religious leaders and politicians have failed us. .What worried many is the perpetually pretending to hold and preach the bible without having virtues demonstrable for them to influence the society.

With our sincere thanks
