Rt. Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Martey, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, on Monday said the physical and spiritual problems of the world today was as a result of the sins of the forefathers.
He said the problems of some homes and families were due to sins committed by some members of their families in the past which had attracted certain curses.
Prof. Martey said this when he installed Mr Andrews Saban Armah as the new Family Head of Nii Okai We of the Kle-Musum of Teshie in Accra.
Rev. Prof. Martey, who is also the President of the Christian Council of Churches, said: “Today’s installation of a family head by a reverend minister should be an eye opener to other families; by this we are bringing God into the families”.
He called for God’s blessing upon the new head and the entire family and expressed the hope that other families would do same to receive God’s blessings in their homes to break the family curse.
Mr Armah, whose stool name is Nii Agblo Armah Saban, said with the support of all members he would bring development, unity and prosperity to the family.
He said there were a lot of intellectual, professional and businessmen and women within the family but for lack of unity they could not contribute meaningfully to bring development to their communities.
He called for the observance of personal and environmental hygiene adding that the insanitary conditions in Teshie should be the concern of all.
Mr Armah asked the family members to take hand-washing with soap very seriously.
