Reverend David Armstrong, founder and leader of the Mo Mary Fellowship, has challenged Ghanaians to view the fight against corruption and injustice not as a burden solely for the government, but as a collective responsibility for every citizen.
The clarion call was made during an all-night service held at the Fellowship’s premises on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
Speaking under the theme: “Corruption and Injustice: An Evil Practice before God,” Rev. Armstrong drew parallels to the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah, emphasizing how corruption, injustice, and disobedience led to the cities’ destruction.
He highlighted the increasing prevalence of antisocial vices in country
, lamenting the passivity of many citizens who seemingly wait for government intervention.
“This notion is a bad attitude,” Rev. Armstrong stated, questioning whether the limited number of security personnel and judges in a nation of over 30 million could effectively control societal ills without the active participation of the populace.
He emphasized the importance of citizens reporting suspicious activities to the authorities.
“Sometimes you may know a potential criminal, drug peddler, smuggler, kidnapper, or human dealer in your community, and you are expected to report them to the security agencies for action,” he explained. “Out of ignorance, you fail to do so, leaving such criminals to harass innocent citizens in the society.”
Drawing further inspiration from the Bible, Rev. Armstrong cited the example of Lot, who witnessed the destructive consequences of corruption and injustice in Sodom and Gomorrah.
He urged the congregation to emulate Lot’s wisdom and proactively contribute to a better society.
He charged the congregation to actively participate in the fight against corruption and injustice by reporting suspicious individuals and activities to the relevant authorities. This, he explained, is a crucial contribution that every citizen can make.
Rev. Armstrong concluded with a stark warning: “If any serious issue emerges in the country because of corruption and injustice, the negative impact will not be felt by one citizen but also the entire population of the country in general.”
He emphasized that a corrupt and unjust society ultimately harms everyone, reinforcing the urgency of collective action to combat these evils
