ALWAYS THE TRUTH
ALWAYS
THE TRUTH
Not long after the death of
Otumfo) Opokuware ІІ, in the Okuapeman Kingdom, there were contemplations on
who should succeed. The elders of the
Kingdom, Opanyin Botwe and Agya Augustine’s finally drew the conclusion that
Nana Yaw Aquinas should be the next king. He is married to Naa Adole Agiss who hails from Accra. They
have been married for over 50 years and have a son called Pope Johns who is now
spending his vacation holidays at his aunts place in Krobo Odumasi. About two
months have passed since the enstoolment of Nana Yaw Aquinas and his governance
has been very good. The Presbyterian mission decided to seek permission from
the King in order to carry out missionary activities. The missionary works were
going on smoothly and a lot of lost
souls were won for Jesus Christ. The
King, Nana Yaw Aquinas who has a catholic background decided to call his long
time best friend who is a catholic priest in the person of Bishop Augustine
Herman who had his diocese in Ho. The Bishop honorably honored the invitation .
He came along with sisters from the Holy Child society. Within a period of 10
years both missionary teams have planted several churches and built many
schools ,health centers and various recreational centers. Surprisingly, the Wesleyan missions were also
engaging in missionary works in the coastal plains of the country. They have
heard of the good works of the Presbyterian and catholic missionaries and
encouraged them to go the Northern sector of the country. The catholic
missionaries wanted to extend their tentacles to the remotest part of the
country to evangelize to people and teach them the way of life. The catholic
missionaries left the churches in the care of Rev Fr Alphonse Elsbernd, Rev Fr.
Lesage, Rev Fr Mcklip and Rev Fr Hotze.
Mr. Nii- Tackie Bleoo, was appointed to be in charge of the churches and
be in the helm of affairs in order to
reduce the burden of the priests.
It has been over five years since the
appointment of Mr. Nii- Tackie Bleoo to be in the helm of affairs for the
churches. Surprisingly, after a prolonged audit by St. Francis team, it was
found out that the churches account were been squandered and no better projects
were launched and as a result the dreams and visions of the missionaries before
they left has not been achieved at all. The head of assessment from St. Francis
team made it clear during a meeting with the church elders and various
committee heads that, not even a little improvement has been added to the
buildings the missionaries left. Painfully most of them are not been maintained
well and also worn out structures have not been replaced. Meanwhile according
to the team, ever since the missionaries left, there have been monthly supplies
of funds to support the churches. Everybody was tensed and so surprised. The head of the assessment team, Bro Benjamin
Atachie made a warning that, whoever will be found guilty of squandering the
church’s money will be exposed and be withdrawn from his or her portfolio. Mr
Nii-Tackie bleoo,was so silent and did not say anything till the session was
over. He could not believe his eyes. He could not imagine the shame and embarrassment
he will go through. He thought through and through and began to fill guilty and
decided to go and confess his slanderous activities to the head of the
assessment team late in the night. Upon arrival at Bro Benjamin Atachie’s temporal lodge, Bro Ben was surprised to see
him at such time. Mr bleoo then began confessing how he has used the monies for
his selfish interests and building houses and buying fleets of cars in the city. Bro Atachie was sad on hearing it and spoke lengthy to Mr.
Bleoo on the dangers of such acts. Mr. Bleoo felt so sad for those actions and
pleaded with Bro. Benjamin to help him give his life to Jesus Christ
again. Mr. Nii-Tackie bleoo promised to
sell all those properties to promote the Kingdom of God and also pledged to
constantly support missionary activities, paying TITHE offerings,
supporting church projects and anything
that will propel the gospel to be preached anywhere. That was the turning point
of Mr. Tackie bleoo. He never became the same after confessing his sins and giving
his life to Jesus Christ again.
Precious one, this little piece is trying to
let you know that, you can be in church and not be born again. Let us not be
deceived with lies of false teachers. It is time for us to work for God. It is
time for us to go to the deserted and
rejected places of this world to proclaim Jesus Christ. Heaven and Hell is so
real. We need to confess our sins and give our lives to Jesus Christ. He is the
only way to eternal life. I want to urge you brethren not to despise the work
of the ministry in whatever form. Jesus Christ is coming soon. Like Mr.
Nii-Tackie bleoo, he was wealthy and also a thief in the house of God, but when
he repented and realized his shortfalls, he gave up everything for the work of
the ministry to promote the gospel. Do not be deceived. God is a rewarder of them
that seek Him Diligently.
