Money Minded Pentecostal Church leaders In Ghana

Pentecostal churches in Ghana have base their teaching on making money than to teach the real core of what the church stand for now the leaders have them self been involve in scandal of all kinds you name it from child abuse to money laundering to dealing in hard core drugs it makes you wonder what Christ came to teach us Christians I think, it about time the politicians in the country come down on them and to regulate this churches about their earnings and make them pay taxes as most companies do for mere reason that the church have become a lucrative business.thechurch make so much from their followers and some of them give nothing back to society except offering two cups of rice and a mini bottle of cooking oil to their followers at x'mas period am not against the pure practice of Christianity but against the so call born again chures whom have broken away from similar churches for their own gains and greed and the only reason they have separated from the old church is for monetary reasons because the proceeds from the pervious week was not split equal these are some of the issues my investigation into such churches revealed and more sad stories of sexual abuse and vilifying children telling untrue stories to their congregation, most especially married women and there setting the hopes

Anointing Of Jesus

How many times was Jesus anointed or did Christ anoint any of his followers?

References from the bible, research by eminent theologians

Did not state Juses Christ was anointed every first Saturday of every month and I have read from eminent theologians around the world they have concluded that, that fact is debatable. Some of the onlookers are angered because the perfume could have been sold for a year's wages, which Mark enumerates as 300 denarii, and the money given to the poor. The Gospel of Matthew states that the "disciples were indignant" and John's gospel states that it was Judas who was most offended. John adds that he was bothered because he (Judas) was a thief and desired the money for himself. Jesus is described as justifying the action of the woman by stating that the poor will always exist, and can be helped whenever desired. While some scholars have criticized this response as lax morality, others have responded that due to his impending crucifixion, Jesus is simply explaining that what was done was not a choice between two moral acts, but a necessity, and would no more be criticized in Jesus' day as a modern man purchasing a coffin for a loved one, even though there are poor that could be fed instead.

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus visits the home of two sisters named Mary and Martha. Mary is contrasted with her sister Martha, who was "cumbered about many things" while Jesus was their guest, while Mary had chosen "the better part," that of listening to the master's discourse.[1] The name of their village is not recorded, nor any mention of whether Jesus was near Jerusalem
Main article: Anointing of Jesus
A narrative in which Mary of Bethany plays a central role (in at least one of the accounts) is the anointing of Jesus, an event reported by the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John in which a woman pours the entire contents of an alabastronof very expensive perfume over the head of Jesus. Only in the John account (John 12:1-8) is the woman identified as Mary, with the earlier reference in John 11:1-2 establishing her as the sister of Martha and Lazarus.

The woman's name is not given in the Gospels of Matthew (Matthew 26:6-13) and Mark (Mark 14:3-9), but the event is likewise placed in Bethany, specifically at the home of one Simon the Leper, a man whose significance is not explained elsewhere in the gospels.
According to the Mark account, the perfume was the purest of spikenard. Some of the onlookers are angered because this expensive perfume could have been sold for a year's wages, which Mark enumerates as 300 denarii, and the money given to the poor. The Gospel of Matthew states that the "disciples were indignant" and John's gospel states that it was Judas Iscariot who was most offended (which is explained by the narrator as being because Judas was a thief and desired the money for himself). In the accounts, Jesus justifies Mary's action by stating that they would always have the poor among them and would be able to help them whenever they desired, but that he would not always be with them. He says that her anointing was done to prepare him for his burial. As one commentator notes, "Mary seems to have been the only one who was sensitive to the impending death of Jesus and who was willing to give a material expression of her esteem for him.

Does Voodoo mix with Christianity

some churches Ghana have voodoo in their churches hall buried underneath to help them pull in more followers and hence more money for the church in some cases they have a wall of gift which every member of the church should pledge an amount of money to be left in this wall every Sunday the sad aspect of it all is the deeds for the church building is held in the name of the pastor who owed the building as his own property and not own by the community and whatever investment one makes into the church belong to him and his family instead of community based church.

where as in the community base churches, it belong to community than an individual who owns the lot, some of this churches mostly break marriage and wreck families because one member of the family belong to a certain type of church and tell untruth vision they have received from god I do believe that there are miracles’

Guerrilla training camp

What does the Bawku Municipal Chief Executive mean by saying he has no idea about the camp and seeking the assistance of the newspaper’s managing editor to provide him with information?

The presidential security adviser and the Inspector-General of Police have expressed surprise and issued instructions to their commanders to do thorough investigations and report back. Initially, the police had tried to portray photographs in the newspaper as misleading.

They went further to say they were shot in 2008. But Egbert Faible called off their bluff and said he even has video pictures of the training camp. He will make more exposures if they dared him.

When former president Rawlings openly said his patience has been overstretched that it no security risk. The NPP general secretary advised his supporters to report a tip-off to the police and he has been arrested and charged with abetment of crime? Presidential spokesman’s presence in his hometown is perceived as a threat in Bawku and that is normal

He is taking a vacation and interacting with people. The residents of Sodom and Gomorrah are recovering from the shock of butchering and are going to be sent packing.

According to the regional minister and the AMA boss, all is set for the eviction of the people in Sodom and Gomorrah. The bulldozers are poised to raze the place down. I understand no compensation will be paid. I am wondering if the government has made any provision for their relocation.

Would those evicted be provided with some form of temporary shelter with good drinking water and toilet facilities to minimize the pain they would experience? What about security and safety for those we are told are sharply divided into ethnic and political factions? We do not want to hear of stories of reprisals when enemies are grouped under a common roof.

The problem at Sodom and Gomorrah would have been solved long ago if some people had not introduced politics into the equation. Surely, it has some chieftaincy undertones but the political feature is equally prominent.

I am closely watching how events unfold at the modern day Sodom and Gomorrah

Chief Inspector said the girl reported the matter to her parents adding that medical reports confirmed that the two girls had been defiled. The police upon a tip-off arrested the pastor at his hideout near Accra suburb.
