The Very Reverend Oswald Samuel Kwadwo Boakye of the Methodist Church on Sunday urged women to re-asset themselves positively in society to gain empowerment.
He said women occupied an enviable position in society and that it was incumbent on them to shun activities or practices that would not help in
their development.
The Very Rev. Boakye was preaching on Easter Sunday at the Wesley Cathedral of the Methodist Church in Sunyani.
He explained that just as women flocked to Jesus Christ in life and death, particularly Christian women need to be in the vanguard in
proclaiming the good news of mankind's re-birth at Easter.
The Methodist Priest advised women to exhibit self-respect and discipline so that with confidence they could contribute meaningfully to
national development.
In a sermon at the Muzama Disco Christo Church in Berekum, The Rev. Agabus Ohene Nana Agyapong, District Pastor, advised the church members to emulate Christ's humility and lead worthy lives in their communities.

"Christ's resurrection must give us a new life, new hope, so we can work to attain our lives' ambitions in the service of God", the Rev. Minister added.
At Dormaa-Ahenkro, various churches kept vigil amid singing and dancing on Saturday night, awaiting the resurrection of Christ.
In a sermon on Easter Sunday, the priest in-charge of the Dormaa-Ahenkro St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, The Rev. Fr. William Kyere, likened Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection to Ghana 's struggle to shake off
poverty and move into the realm of economic emancipation.
