Message from The Most Worthy Grand Sovereign to all members in Ghana on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Society in Ghana

On this festive season, I send you greetings and blessing of God and our blessed masters to you and all brothers of all regions. “SHALOUM HAK LEKUM” – PEACE BE UNTO YOU.

Growth is an inevitable phenomenon of God’s creation. All things in and of the earth grow from birth or germination into maturity. The essence and beauty of the growing objects is experienced in the maturity stage. The flower blossom and gives off its beautiful fragrance, fruits. Plants vegetables and the like produce food for consumption and animals make good meat. Humans cannot be left out but unlike the other species of creation their growth must be seen in the way they act or speak.

The main essence of Theological Science Society is the firm establishment of one’s spiritual identity with his creator and his perfect “at one – ment” with Him, as said by the master Jesus “I and the father are one”.

Fifty years of growth in the life of a human being is very important landmark. He has now blossomed into a fully matured adult. He has crossed his seventh cycle and has started on the threshold of last lap Gods given ten cycles of sevens. The growing initiate must be seen to be passing through these stages of Maturity with a definite purpose of both the physical and spiritual life. Some of you must have grown with the society, others must have joined midstream while others must have joined not quite long ago. But since we are all in the same boat, the matured age of fifty (50) must involve all.

Unfortunately some of us are still clothed in the childish negative lives such as uncontrolled anger, jealousy, hatred, bitterness, greed, backbiting, cheating, inordinate ambition, melancholy, negative thinking back, lack – of – confidence and many others: St Paul said, when I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I understood like a child, but when I grew up, I put away childish things. The Society has grown and matured with its members and the childish things above must be put away.

“You are the light of the world, a light is not put under a bushel but put on a stand to give light unto the world” you are the salt of the earth and if salt looses its favour, with what then shall it be salted? The teachings of the Theological Science Society and the Masters put us in the above category of development. The application of the principles of the teaching can make us influence mass thinking and therefore can eradicate a lot of social vices as corruption, antagonism, treachery, hatred, enmity, slander wars etc.

Membership of the Society has never been stable. It has been fluctuating, ascending and descending. Nevertheless, it has never gone below average. Forgive me, if space and time, may not permit me to mention names of our gallant, dedicated and devoted Initiate (dead and alive) who stood the test of time, to hold aloft the banner of the Society to date. Your effort shall never be in vain. God shall reward you accordingly. CONGRATULATIONS.

On this festive occasion of our 50 th Anniversary Celebration, on the behalf of the Board of Trustees, the Management Council and on my own behalf, I say a big thank you. Well done and congratulations to all members who in diverse ways have contributed to the steady growth and function of the Society throughout the fifty years of existence in Ghana. Special mention also made here of the anniversary planning committee who put in every effort, energy and time to make the celebration possible and successful. God bless you and congratulation.

I cannot conclude this mention without paying Tribute to our illustrious founding Initiate in Ghana, Emmanuel Kwesi Essel, the first Most Worthy Grand Sovereign, for the establishment of the society in Ghana. You shall forever be remembered. God bless you.

Our achievements cannot be measured by material statistics but the Society being esoteric and sacred has had an enormous impact on the spiritual lives of members. At least, morally truthfulness, honesty and dedications to duty are part of the Spiritual Training they have acquired which may be apparent in their work places.

To be able to achieve this moral uprightness you must introspectively reflect on who you are, examine yourself whether you are in the faith. Prove your own self and know that you are your own self, and that you are not your own, but the temple of the living God. If mysticism is hidden to those who are lost, who this world has blinded their minds and those who believe not.

As a Theological Scientist, you may be troubled on every side, yet not distressed, you may be perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, cast down but not destroyed. Always bear in your body the teachings of the Masters that lives of them may be manifest in you.

Take on the amour of God and hold the key to Spiritual life, which is LOVE and self knowledge. “LOVE is kind, LOVE suffereth long. LOVE does not envy anyone, LOVE does not boast herself, LOVE does not seek her own, LOVE is not easily provoked and thinks no evil. LOVE does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth. LOVE bears all things, hopes all things, and endureth all things”. 1 st Corinthians chapter 13 verse 4-7.

I wish you all a Happy Anniversary Success, Health, Peace, and Prosperity. Thank you, and God bless you all.
