Mrs
Vida Sarfowaa Ennim, the Sunyani Central District Women’s Leader of the
Church of Pentecost, on Monday advised families to cook nutritious
meals for their households to enhance their health status.
In
an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the sideline of a food
bazaar organized by the Church to mark the Easter Festivities in
Sunyani, she said men needed balanced diet to live longer to be able to
provide the spiritual and material needs of the family.
The
bazaar provided an opportunity for the Church to fete the poor,
vulnerable and marginalized members as well as demonstrate love and
kindness to society.
More than 800 members and non-members of the Church were feted with a variety of food and non alcoholic beverages.
Mrs
Ennim said many men died prematurely because of their eating lifestyle
and the kind of food eaten and advised wives to ensure that they fed
their husbands with more fruits and vegetables instead of starchy and
fatty diet.
She also urged people to drink more water and
refrain from eating at night to control their blood pressure and issues
related to cholesterol.
“More spices in food are very
dangerous to our health, so we must try and reduce spices in our stews
and soups and add more ginger and garlic,” she said.
Mrs
Ennim noted that since Easter was a period Jesus Christ showed loved to
humanity and died for lost souls, there was the need for the Church to
also use the occasion to show love and compassion particularly to the
needy in society.
She said it was sinful for Christians to
engage in strife, and advised followers and disciples of Jesus Christ to
build and nurture good and cordial relationship with their fellow human
beings.
Mrs Ennim said “hatred is a trade mark of
witchcraft”, and admonished Christians not to allow hatred and wrath to
overcome them and lose God’s favour and blessings.
Mrs Mary
Okaakyire Ameyaw, an Elder of the Church, advised women to be humble
before their husbands and exhibit Christ-like love to them and urged the
men to also love their wives just as Christ loved the Church |
