A religious group, Movement for the Kingdom Image (MFKI), has asked the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Ignatius Baffuor Awuah, to draw back his comments against devotion at work places.
According to the group, such comments are evil-driven and smacks of hypocrisy on the part of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government that claims to be religious.
A statement released and signed by Osempakani Kaakyire Kofi, President of the MFKI on Friday said: “We believe his statement or order is evil-driven, careless and an evidence of the hypocrisy of the NPP government which he (minister) is part [of] and therefore must retract his statement or order immediately. The Movement for the Kingdom Image (MFKI) were shocked at the swiftness of this government who painted a clear picture to Ghanaians that they are ambassadors of God during the campaign period and thereby theming their campaign as “THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S”, and just seven months into government they are booting activities of God from their governance.
“Again, the MFKI believes that using 10-15 minutes to invite God into the activities at the workplaces can never be blamed for low productivity whatsoever. Therefore, we discern that the minister is making himself available for the program of the devil to be accomplished. There has never been an incident where staff of any institution spent more than 10-15 minutes for their pre-work or post-devotion in the offices. We do not see the basis of his order for having a plan to eliminate God from the land.”
It added : “Is his comments to inform Ghanaians that even at the Flagstaff House, the President and his team have abandoned God by abolishing morning devotion at the seat of government where the president who used the Bible for his campaign?
“The minister should not think they can “fool” God and go unpunished because even Israel when they showed ungratefulness to God after saving them from Egypt, God punished them. We want the minister to retract his disaster-inviting order to save Ghana from God’s wrath.”

The bible says for lack of knowledge my people perish. Not knowledge alone most countries lack wisdom too, no wonder men are marrying men and women marrying women incuring the wrath of God upon themselves. Watch the movie 2012 and see if Africa was the the only part of the world that wasnt destroyed. Africans may be poor but we havnt lost our conscience. We will never demonstrate completely naked in the street. We will pray and pray and pray to the most high God.
Are you employed to pray or work? Go to America or Great Britain and pray at work instead of working and see what will happen to you. Christians flout the law and their only defense is that those correcting them are demonic. Christians play musical instruments at night and pray behind people's houses at dawn and they think it is their right to disturb people in the name of God. This must stop.
If you cannot pray for your self and your work at home,dont worry praying at work. didnt the bible say render unto ceasar what is ceacar's and unto God what is God's? . DONT RENDER UNTO GOD DURING CEACARS TIME.
@WE NEED HARD*********, Are u for real? Who said people in Britain dont pray or worship God? Or America? Even people in China hold their deity in reverence. Dont talk abt what u have no idea of. One thing i can tell u is IF THE LORD DOES NOT BUILD THE HOUSE, THE LABOURER LABOURS IN VAIN. God must be first in all our endeavours and we shall prosper. Ten to fifteen minutes of prayer wont take out anything but will rather bring a lot.
Why do Ghanaians have this fixation about 'Prayers' in offices ; why do Ghanaians waste their time in churches attempting to use prayers as a tool to success ; whilst if you go to the west or to China it is rather hard work ;honesty and integrity that drives the population for success; they have all these morning prayers but then think GOD will forgive them in their evil ways ; God does not operate that way because for every sin on this earth; there a punishment ; there is no such thing as forgiveness to anybody on earth ; if you do disobey God you hall pay the price and forget about PRAYERS !!!!!!
