Presentations
Dr Anthony Sarpong, a minerals and mining consultant, who chairs the Convention Planning Committee, told the media in Accra that at this year’s convention, the fellowship would look forward to presentations that would shift the participant’s focus of life from himself to the purpose of God for his life.
“We want business men and professionals to awaken to live their full potential, knowing and realizing that his/her first option in life is to fulfill the master’s call before business or trade” he said, emphasising that, Christian businessmen and professionals, as laymen, constituted the giant of evangelism. Unfortunately, he added, “these giants are sleeping all over the world. The fellowship, therefore, is looking at participants coming to the point of knowing and accepting the fact that they are asleep and need to be awakened.”
Dr Sarpong said the Ghanaian society was at a brink of a new dawn, that Ghana was on the verge of economic transformation success.
Citing macro-economic indicators, a new sense of hope among the people, together with prophecies which, he said, had been pronounced upon the country at prayer meetings both within and outside Ghana, he prayed that “God will shine His revival on us so that nothing would hinder or stop the sun from shining on us.”
He challenged Christian professionals and businessmen to rise up and be counted in a Ghanaian society where integrity had become a rare commodity and where the upbringing of children in moral uprightness had been lacking.
“As people who call ourselves spirit-filled Christians, Christian businessmen and professionals should make a difference.
