Christian Minister and Writer, Reverend Adotei E. Abraham, has launched a book exploring Ghana’s purported spiritual and geographical significance as a centre of the world.
Titled: “Ghana: A blessing in the midst of the earth”, the book examines the country’s alleged status as a “Kingdom centre” and the implications of that status for Ghana’s identity and development.
The book was dedicated to the late Prophet Joel Mensah and the late Most Reverend George Nikoi Kotey, whom Rev. Abraham described as his mentors and the inspiration behind the work.
Inspiration
At the launch of the book, Rev. Abraham said the book was largely inspired by the writings and teachings of the late Most Rev. Kotey, who he indicated had for years spoken and written about Ghana’s spiritual and geographical significance.
He said work on the book began in early 2024 to produce a comprehensive account of Ghana’s alleged “Kingdom centre transfer” status and the basis for the claim that the country occupied a unique position at the centre of the earth.
Rev. Abraham said the late Most Rev. Kotey had reviewed the first draft of the book and intended to write its preface before his death.
He said the late clergyman had also requested that his material on Ghana in prophecy be included in the book as an appendix.
Rev. Abraham called on the Presidency, Parliament, the Judiciary, the media, the Church, traditional authorities, academia, professionals and all Ghanaians to take the message of the book seriously and contribute to consolidating Ghana’s identity as “A blessing in the midst of the earth”.
Review
Reviewing the book, the Deputy Director of Education at the Ghana Education Service (GES), Rev. Francis Pappoe, commended Rev. Abraham for his dedication and perseverance in producing the publication.
He said books played an important role in shaping lives, preserving history, inspiring change and transferring knowledge from one generation to another.
Rev. Pappoe, therefore, urged Ghanaians to study the book and apply its lessons, while encouraging individuals, churches, schools, libraries and communities to support its distribution.
He said the publication was a valuable addition to knowledge about Ghana and expressed the hope that it would inspire readers and benefit generations to come.
Vision
In a recorded interview with the late Most Rev. Kotey, which was played during the launch, he advocated what he described as “theocratic democracy” as a suitable system of governance for Ghana, with God as the ultimate authority, and governance exercised through the people.
He also said Ghana could exploit its alleged position as the spiritual and geographical centre of the world to boost tourism.
He proposed the development of a mini-city at what he described as the centre of the earth to attract tourists and generate revenue for the country.
