CHRISTMAS MESSAGE BY UPPER EAST REGIONAL MINISTER, HON. STEPHEN YAKUBU- DECEMBER, 2021
The world and Christians in particular await the birth of Jesus Christ, the savior of the world on Saturday 25th December, 2021. The day is very significant as it reassures humanity of God’s unflinching love. Out of this love, God offered to become man in all things but sin, in order to draw the universe towards salvation.
Our response at Christmas is definitely one of gratitude and thanksgiving for the gratuitous love of God. We rejoice and are glad for the sheer humility of God in becoming man for our sake. We take respite in the fact that the new born will show us the way back to salvation and make the world a better place.
For us in Ghana, this Christmas should mean a lot to us. We are not only grateful for the birth of Christ but also offering thanks for the conduct of peaceful co-existence among ourselves. We may have had varying expectations about what we want from God, but our ultimate desire should be to see a stable and unified nation by the grace of God, we have crossed the period of certain anxiety and looking up to a prosperous future ahead.
I should therefore be justified to call on all people of the region to share in the joy of the season by being grateful to God for his infinite love and blessings on our country Ghana. Let’s together fight for peace and avoid tribal, land, religious and chieftaincy conflicts.
I ask of all religious leaders to commit Ghana in their prayers and supplications during this festive season.
Let us be mindful of the HIV and AIDS for the prevalence rate in some part of the region is very high. Once the government has procured vaccines for the country let us all get vaccinated and continue to observe the safety protocols of the Covid-19.
Merry Christmas to all people of the Upper East Region.
