Dormaa- Ahenkro (Bono), Dec. 23, GNA – The Reverend Seth Twum Barimah, the Chairman of the Dormaa Central Municipal branch of the Local Council of Churches (LCC) has urged the Dormaa Traditional Council to build a befitting Christian worship centre at the Dormaa-Ahenkro Abanpredease palace.
He said the traditional council required a modern worship centre that would enable Osagyefo Oseadeyo Agyemang Badu II, the Paramount Chief of Dormaa Traditional Area and his subjects to worship and serve God.
“The centre will serve as a sacred ground where the clergy and the LCC and other churches will fellowship together occasionally,” Rev Barimah stated, in a sermon at a thanksgiving service.
The service marked the 25th anniversary of the enstoolment of Osagyefo Oseadeyo Badu II at Dormaa-Ahenkro, which coincided with the Annual Kwafie Festival of the people.
It was on the theme “our environment, our future” and the service was attended by Odeneho Akosua Fema Dwabeng II, the Paramount Queen mother of the Dormaa Traditional Area, the clergy, some prominent chiefs and queens, the Muslim community and corporate organisations at Dormaa-Ahenkro.
“Osagyefo loves God, and there’s the needs for a befitting worship centre, to fellowship with God,” he stated, and urged the people of the area “to see cherish and protect their chief.”
In a prophecy, Rev Barimah said: “Dormaahene would be honoured with three more certificates and would be honoured as the most influential chief of Ghana, who would be the first to ride in a chariot just like the queens and kings do in the United Kingdom (UK).
“God has elevated Dormaahene and we will all see the prophecies manifest in the next five years”, he stated.
Rev Barimah lauded Dormaahene’s commitment to service and his spirit of sacrifice and urged other traditional authorities to emulate.
He expressed appreciation to Osagyefo Oseadeyo Badu II for supporting the activities of the LCC.
The Dormaa-Ahenkro Methodist Church later presented cattle and undisclosed sums of money to support the anniversary.
Other individuals and organisations made some presentations as well.
