The Lehim Foundation,with the objective to carry out social, cultural, economic, managerial and psychological interventions to improve the lot of humanity, has been launched by Zetahir Mission in Accra.
The foundation’s President, Dr Francis Akwetey, said in addition, it was to perpetualise the contemporary actions and philosophy of its founder, Prophetess Lehem whose vision is to transform mankind into God’s instrument for the betterment of the universe.
As reflected in its motto, “benefit all creatures, benefit the people,” Dr Akwetey indicated that humanity should be the crux of all religions for a better society which carries out every thought into action in a sustainable manner.
Speaking further on the purpose of the foundation, he said that humanity was one because humans originated from God, adding that since God created other aspects of nature, humans must explore them responsibly for their benefit and consider the entire universe as a family.
Elaborating further on the values which underpin the Lehim Foundation, the director stressed that the unity of religions was necessary for oneness of humanity, since various religions contain aspects of the whole truth, adding “this will go a long way to avert conflicts in various forms and contribute substantially to world peace.”
Dr Akwetey indicated that every thought, word and action had their repercussions, no matter how minute, therefore he hinted that most of the thoughts, words, and actions should be used in the service of improving humanity. He related the key purpose of religion as service to humanity, noting that serving humanity is service to God.
He intimated that improving human lives through service further produces the humanity “we all yearn to see.”
Dr Akwetey cited some qualities of the ideal human as self-control, humility, tolerance, leading by example, accommodating other people’s beliefs and culture as well as being open to gentle correction and commendation appropriately.
The chairman of the occasion, Mr Gideon Aryeequaye, a former ace broadcaster and journalist, noted that the Lehim Foundation would serve as a soothing balm to cuts and bruises inflicted by humanity and society to collaborate with it to make humanity better and transformational.
