Apostle Dr Stephen Owusu Jackson, Chairman of the Christian Praise International Church, has urged politicians to be mindful of their choice of words to avoid tension in the country.
����He said as the country enters into 2015, his expectation was that Ghanaians would continue to live in peace and oneness for the growth of the nation.
������Our political leaders should be careful of the words they use during their campaign in 2015 to guard the peace the nation is enjoying because�any wayward statement could cause havoc in the nation,� he said.
�����Apostle Dr Jackson was speaking in an interview with Ghana News Agency at the church�s premises at Pig Farm, near Dzorwulu in Accra on Sunday.
�����He said there was the need for religious leaders to continuously and seriously pray to prevent any calamity in 2015.
�����He advised national leaders to look up to God for the solution of the socio-economic conditions confronting the nation, particularly the erratic power supply.
�����Apostle Jackson asked the people to have hope in God in nation-building, saying: �we as Christians believe that by the Grace of God the problems will be over.�
�����In a sermon after tying the knot for a couple as part of the last Sunday service in 2014, Apostle Jackson said Christian wedding ceremonies were not �foreign culture� as some people perceived it.
�����He said the occasion was to bring the couple before God in a Christian doctrine after the family had done their part and also for the church members to witness, adding that Ghanaians should stop being �stingy� by saying that weddings were foreign culture and a waste of money.����
������If they are saying wedding is a foreign culture then they should not take up education, desist from wearing foreign cloths and eating foreign foods because they are not part of our culture or tradition,� Apostle Jackson said.
�����He said God�s main purpose for marriage was for the couples to assist each other and asked couples not to be selfish.
���� Touching on�homosexuality and lesbianism, he prayed that they should not be legalised in the country as the act was a detestable thing to God which brought curses to families and nations.
