In a sermon themed: “The Year of the Lord’s Favour,” the Moderator said: “Ghana is not poor, look; God has endowed Ghana with all that we need. The material wealth, solid wealth…cocoa, gold, tell me any country in the world that has been called a Gold Coast before and then the liquid wealth of this world has been given to us, they call it black gold (oil). Why should we discover oil and things rather should go worse? My friends, it is time we have to wake up as a country.

“When you talk, what they say is …we’ll do to you same as we did to the Supreme Court Judges. Eii, you are playing with Supreme Court Judges…then you’ll go to where you never wanted to. Amazingly it’s not only the Supreme Court Judges they said they will kill, they also mentioned three ministers (Pastors). But the Judges have put them in prison, what about the pastors? You see Pastors we’ll keep quiet…where this rich man went (parable in the Bible, Lazarus and the rich,) that is where they will go.”
