The Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) has organised its first end-of-year thanksgiving service to thank God for the lives of the staff and customers of the bank and pray for God's guidance and protection.
The Presiding Priest in charge of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Abelenkpe, Rev Father Richard Aziati, who delivered the sermon, urged workers of the bank to create a positive image among their colleagues, so that "when you leave one day you will be remembered positively".
"Immediately you are given your appointment letter, the clock begins to tick and your countdown begins. Be conscious of the fact that the clock begins to tick and create a positive image among your colleagues," he said.
He advised the workers to love everybody and not discriminate against anybody.
He also asked them to forgive those who offended them and ask for forgiveness from those whom they offended.
Rev Father Aziati encouraged the staff to work and make profit, citing the Bible quotation, "Multiply, be fruitful and subdue the earth".
"As members of ADB, you should follow the rules and regulations of the company and not to go anywhere the company forbids you to go," he added.
He reminded them that money was the root of all evil and tasked them to pray for God's guidance to fight the temptation of embezzling the funds of the company.
He asked them to take care of their souls and not to sell them for the love of money, since their souls would move on even if they died.
"The body will rot, but the soul continues to move on and it will be judged on the day of reckoning," Rev Father Aziati noted.
The thanksgiving service ended with prayers for the lives of Ghanaians and the world at large.
