Torgbui Tsifokpe III, Divisional Chief of Afuta Klikor in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region has urged Christians “To stop being a Christian because Christians have lost their value and influence on society.”
He argued that “People no more respect or accord the Christian the respect due to how most Christians are involved in high-level corruption cases.”
He added that, “most of the corruption cases in the country or workplaces are perpetrated by Christians” saying, “Let’s rather adopt the new title: “Disciples of Christ.”
Torgbui Tsifokpe III made the call when he delivered a lecture to the youth of the Church of Pentecost, Achimota Christian Village Assembly, in Accra, as part of the Youth Day of the Church.
He spoke on the theme: “Earnestly Working Towards Success in the Culture of Diversity”.
Torgbui Tsifokpe III emphasised that, “From today, when you go to work or town and someone asks you; are you a Christian, tell the person, “No, I’m a disciple of Christ.”
He explained that “The name Christian was as result of olden day believers behaving like Christ and they were called Christians. But today, the same cannot be said about the modern-day believer. Therefore, the need to shift from being a Christian to disciple rather.”
He urged the youth not to seek short-lived success that they would live to regret in future saying, “Sacrifice, hard work, dedication, resilience and X-factor; that is the word of God, are the catalyst to real success.”
Torgbui Tsifokpe III said cultural diversity had brought a lot of harm than good to the Christian, adding that, “Laziness, get rich quick, being suspicious that someone is behind our failures rather than taking responsibility for our actions are all causes of cultural diversity.”
The event was attended by Reverend Daniel Antwi-Adjei, District Pastor of the Church, Elder Joseph Addo, the Local Chieftaincy Coordinator; Ebenezar Tordzro, Youth Leader of the Church and members of the congregation.
Reverend Antwi-Adjei said the Church had created avenue for the Chiefs to come to church and worship God.
He explained “That is why there is a ministry within the Church that takes care of the Chiefs.”
He expressed gratitude to Torgbui Tsifokpe III for sharing his insight with the youth and the congregation.
