Members of the Apostles Revelation Society (ARS) in Gbedzi, in Ketu North District of the Volta Region, have embarked on a three-day spiritual observation as part of their Fourth Transition Period.
This period is dedicated to supplicating and seeking God’s intervention in addressing sicknesses, hardships, and other calamities affecting humanity, especially in Ghana.
Dubbed the ‘Fourth Transition Period’ or ‘Fourth Great Reform Period,’ this observance requires members to fast before the actual period begins.
From August 2nd to 9th, September 2024, members would gather at designated regional, district, and branch locations of the Church, both within Ghana and abroad, for prayers and vigils.
A statement issued yesterday in Tadzewu, Gbedzi, and signed by the Church’s Administrator, Apostle C.K. Attipoe, said the three-day observance would include prayers, supplications, and vigils, accompanied by bonfires.
It said the activities were aimed at seeking divine relief from individual and collective hardships, and to offer special prayers for the Church, Ghana, and the world during these challenging times.
The observance, instituted by the late founder of the Church, Prophet C.K.N. Wovenu, was designed to offer members a platform to devote part of their spiritual lives to seeking God’s intervention and favor in times of need.
According to the statement, Prophet Wovenu personally organised and led three of such ceremonies during his lifetime.
It said the tradition dates back to ancient times when the earth was considered polluted and explained that the supplications during the period served as pleas to God and act as a peace treaty between God and mankind.
It said Prophet Wovenu was granted spiritual authority to mediate between God and the world during his lifetime through his supplications and fasting.
According to the statement, the Transition Period was a sacred time for seeking forgiveness for the sins of forefathers and for asking God to remove various curses from the earth, including misfortunes, unrest, indebtedness, barrenness, sickness, wars, untimely deaths, floods, and idolatry.
It noted that in these perilous times marked by wars, famine, economic hardships, and deteriorating living conditions, it is crucial for humanity to continually seek God’s intervention.
During the observance, members would engage in continuous prayer for forgiveness over the three days.
On the fourth day, the statement said the Church would hold a celebration and auction special Transition Period Booklets as part of the harvest.
