Selfless
leadership is what Ghana needs to push the economy to greater heights, says Rev.
Robert Asante, Head Pastor of the Grace Baptist Church in Kumasi.
For
the many Ghanaians who trooped in to 31st watch night services to
usher in the New Year, 2015 should be a year of good tidings and economic
turnaround.
Rev.
Asante in an interview with Luv Fm on New Year’s Day, noted that such expectations
can be fulfilled when people in authority perform their duties devoid of greed.
“Service
must go with selflessness,” he stated. “Leadership is actually to serve; to
make life better for those that are led, so any leadership that lords it over
those that are led is not the leadership from God”.
According
to him, the generality of the population will enjoy a better life if political,
corporate and religious leaders of the country decide to serve “because we have
enough resources to make everyone feel better.”
Rev.
Asante outlined the Church’s commitment to human development to ensure “everyone
in this church is helped to unearth their potentials and get to where God wants
them to be.”
Grace
Baptist Church supports members and other within the local community with educational
scholarships and grants for vocational training and apprenticeship.
“We
want to get to a point where the Church take care of everyone who comes here
and is financially handicapped to go through school or to be equipped with
skills so that they can start their own businesses,” said the Head Pastor.
