Religious advocate Dr. Emmanuel Acheampong Manu, commonly known as Lord Ayass Baba has charged Ghanaians to show reverence to the land.
Speaking in an interview with Sun TV GH on YouTube, he emphasized that, Murder and suicidal avoidance is the only way to have a peaceful life
“We should all know that everything in this universe is interrelated and so our actions and even thoughts affect each other and everything on the land”
According to him, the killing of a human being is considered to be the highest form of criminality according to spirituality and even the laws of any land.
He said, creation is made of four elements, thus, fire, air, earth, and water with space as the fifth.
He said, all living things, most especially man, have to survive or may in one way or the other either intentionally or unintentionally destroy certain things just to be able to survive, man must make sure what he destroys has the least number of elements.
“Plants have only one element, birds have two elements, beasts have three elements and man has all the four elements, thus we say a man is the highest form of creation. This means the killing of a man is killing all the four elements and it’s very serious”
“The Absolute God detests the killing of a man who is in the image of God Himself. The Bible gives an account of the first murder case in the world and the reaction of God and the land has been written (Genesis 4:10-12). Cain killed his brother Abel and the first question God asked him was “what have you done”
“It means God never wanted murder because it was an abomination to Him. God said the blood of Abel which got spurted on the land, cried to him and because of that Cain was cursed to be a wanderer (restless) on the land. God added that because Cain did the most abominable act, the land was no more going to yield crops for man”
“This is a story about Cain but it’s also a story and lesson for all mankind. Anytime we kill a man, there will be RESTLESSNESS and CHAOS on the land. There will be FAMINE and DROUGHT as well”
He said most Nations that have witnessed genocide as a result of either political or ethnic turmoil, experience famine or drought because nature hates the killing of a man.
He said, God once again showed He detests the killing of man when after testing the faith of Abraham to sacrifice his son, he instead gave a ram in place of man as the sacrifice (Genesis 22:1-3, 11-13.
What makes murder very dangerous for all mankind is also presented in Quran 5:32, which says if one man is killed, it’s as if all men were killed and if one man is saved, it’s as if all men are saved.
“This is why I started by writing that we are all interrelated, we shouldn’t think it’s only the murderer who gets punished but it’s rather the whole land which gets spiritually polluted and the adverse effects are what I have enumerated earlier on”
He added that, for our land and for that matter or country to develop we all need to watch our thoughts and actions, especially be careful with the killing of man because the adverse effects will be devastating.
“Yes the murderer may achieve his aim but it’s temporary but the consequences on the land is devastating”
“We tend to execute these abominable acts because we don’t know the real composition of man and what man is and so we think by killing someone we have achieved our aim”
He added that man truly is the soul and the body is the garment. When the garment is thrown away, the real man (the soul) takes another garment, a body, and comes back, this time to pay back the murderer and in this, we know God is just.
“This knowledge of the real man which is the soul is neither destroyed nor could be killed is written in Bhagavad Gita (the scripture of the Hindus) in chapter 2:20-22”
He said, if we want our land to be peaceful and develop in all spheres of life, we should all eschew murder and suicide from our minds.
