It\u2019s been proven that Africa is the only continent that is unable to eradicate poverty and poverty is still on the increase on the continent of Africa\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Africa will experience massive prosperity if it begins to invest in the poor and needy.  The collaboration of all groups and institutions towards the goal of being generous will yield great results for the various countries and the African continent at large.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that until Africa and Africans, the Christian community, the Muslim community, the Jewish community begin to appreciate and understand that life is not about you and I but life is about the impact we made in the lives of others\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>He admonished Africans to look past gaining wealth for themselves, for their families and in their personal interest and focus on impacting lives through the wealth they create, this according to him, will define their very essence of living.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil we understand that we must live making money for the good of humanity, helping people, providing clean waters, in areas where people don\u2019t have clean water, touching lives, making the difference in the lives of others, you did not exist, you did not come into this world\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Until you did something to enhance the course of humanity, and to help make a difference in the lives of others, you are divinely a dissappointment and disqualified&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 48 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Tuesday, 18 July 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-07-18 Founder and leader of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams &#13;
