THE REAL FAILURES TO GHANA STANZA 2

THE REAL FAILURES TO GHANA

 

By: Joyce Ohenewaa Kwapong

STANZA TWO:

Cheap Preaching!!

"Ministers of the Gospel"

A charge to keep you have

Yet,

Manipulating congregants

Consulting other powers to gain fame

And attract crowd

Having various titles, as lengthy as rails

Written boldly on foreheads of undeserving ones

Tarnishing the image of those who bear good fruits

Making the harvests of such ones seem unwholesome

"Scoundrels" humiliating congregants

Causing family disintegration

A gargantuan audience

Hiding under the name of "dedicated Christians"

Spending productive man hours

Loitering around church grounds

Forgetting that there is time for everything

And that God does not give riches

But the ability to make riches

And when they end up in the gutter,

They attribute their failures and mishaps to the innocent GREY- HAIRED ones

Congregants have made themselves sheep

To be eaten by wolves

The scourge of stifled development

The Nation's mystery of failure

Cheap preaching!! A real failure to Ghana.
