Let the love, peace of Christ guide our actions – Bawumia
The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has called on Ghanaians to emulate the love, peace and good neighbourliness of Jesus Christ in every aspect of our lives, especially as we work in diverse ways to develop the nation.
“As we celebrate this special day of joy and thanksgiving to God for gifting us with Jesus Christ we must continue to abide by his teachings and do good to one another,” Dr Bawumia stated on Friday, December 25, 2020, when he joined the congregation of Victory Bible Church International – Dominion Sanctuary, Awoshie, headed by Bishop Tackie-Yarboi, to mark the birth of Jesus Christ.
Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called on Ghanaians not to take for granted the unity and peace the country is enjoying.
He said despite the tribal, religious and ethnic diversity, the country remained indivisible and so it must continuously guard jealously the existing unity and peace.
“For us as a country, we have come a long way and had a history of peaceful coexistence among ourselves despite the diversity of tribes, religion and ethnicity. Even in our diversity, we have always remained indivisible and what we have in common are in excess of what divides us.
“It is this love for each other, underpinned by the biblical love your neighbour as thyself, that today Ghana is rated as the most peaceful country in West Africa and we thank God for that,” the Vice-President stressed.
