Prayers? Yes, but actions too – Lydia Forson on 3-day fasting to revive the economy
“Imagine the church actually took a position to HOLD government accountable beyond prayers. Imagine the church used its power/influence to get our government to do right by its people. Instead, the church (most) uses their position to only advance itself and its agenda. Shame.”
Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson shared her views on the three-day fasting mandate by the Church of Pentecost as a measure for an economic turnaround.
In a Twitter thread, Ms Forson called religious bodies hypocrites, accusing them of using their ‘power’ to fund their own agendas.
“Imagine the church actually took a position to HOLD government accountable beyond prayers. Imagine the church used its power/influence to get our government to do right by its people. Instead, the church (most) uses their position to only advance itself and its agenda. Shame.”
Lydia Forson also charged the clergy to do more than send prayers. She urged them to take a stand against the injustice being perpetuated against their congregation.
“Imagine Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. asking black people to fast and pray for 3 days to end discrimination and not speaking against the injustices people of colour were facing. Prayers, yes, but action too.”
