Challenges and Successes in Africa - Ghana

Ghanaians are simply religious and not spiritual.Why because I guess that is easier. To be a religious christian simply means attending church regularly and following the dictates of the particular church and making other congregants know you are doing so.To be spiritual, you embrace wholly all the principles and rules of your religious belief without picking and choosing.Spirituality also entails virtues like honesty,sincerity,integrity etc.That is why day in day out churches are springing up but crime is on the increase. That armed robber is in a church and pays his tithe,that Minister who takes kickback and bribes is an elder in a church.So all these people are just like the Pharisees who want only show they are Christians but technically they are not because the are not Christ-like by their works and deeds.As a Christian the Bible SHOULD be your manual and if you follow it holistically and adhere to laws of nature too you won't need a Pastor to bless you because the God who see in darkness and light will see your deeds and works and bless you.To die in my bid to receive blessings from a fellow man  (I still respect anointed men of God but don't) deify them) I don't think it is worth it because even Jesus Christ when he came to this world nobody died in the quest to receive blessings from him I'd rather stay at one corner and pray to him because no man can say he has exclusive access to God.we are God's children and He is not God of descrimination.If you do what is right according the Scriptures and you follow common sense and natural laws your communication with your maker won't even be that of demands.He knows your needs and supply them all.Nature on its own is even self sustaining is the things we do and we do not do that make us require certain things. If you do not believe this just look at the stone age man and you will know what I am talking about.
