Christians have been advised to rest their hope and confidence in God and not to be overwhelmed and be despaired in the wake of global economic crisis, climate change, personal loss, suffering and sickness.
Mr Paul Crudass, a representative from the Ghana Branch Office of the Jehovah's Witnesses, who gave the advice at the weekend at the just-ended three-day annual convention of Jehovah's Witnesses held at Nyanyanu in the Central Region, said that Almighty God had the power to save Christians from their personal afflictions and persecutions.
He called on Christians to constantly remember God's saving acts in the past and in the present and to fix firmly in their mind, His assurance of saving his people in the "not too distant future."
Mr Crudass said God would soon bring to an end mankind's suffering and usher his servants into a new system of "world government" ruled by Jesus Christ.
The three-day convention was on the theme: "Safeguard Your Heart" and was based on Proverbs 4:23.
Activities for the convention included a drama, soliloquies, interviews, demonstrations and symposia designed to help the Witnesses conduct a regular spiritual medical check-up on their figurative heart.
Mr Stephen McIntyre, Chairman for the 2012 District Convention and Circuit 53 Circuit Overseer for the Witnesses said there were five reasons the delegates needed to safeguard their figurative heart.
He stressed that it was urgent for Christians to safeguard their heart because the imperfect heart was inclined to do what was wrong.
Mr McIntyre added that the heart was treacherous therefore safeguarding it was critical for a better and improved life now and for everlasting life in the future.
He said most importantly, safeguarding the heart would be pleasing to Jehovah God.
Mr McIntyre explained that the figurative heart referred the "whole inner person, his thinking, inclination, qualities, feelings and deepest innermost emotions of an individual".
A Play entitled "What is True Love?" was staged to enable young ones contemplating marriage to consider seriously the vital steps that would make them consider God first in their choice of marriage mate.
It was also to teach the convention delegates successful ways of building a happy family life.
Two newly-published brochures: "Good News From God," and "Who are Doing Jehovah's Will Today?" were outdoored at the convention.
They were produced with the aim of helping the Witnesses to be effective in evangelizing and to help others to love God.
Various DVDs for children and others to help the Witnesses to fortify their faith in God were released while 46 new members symbolized their dedication to God through water baptism.
