On the subject of Freemasonry; the Grand master of the Grand Lodge of Ghana, Brother Otwasuom Osei Nyampong VI, has said that the Bible is the first book you will see in a Freemasonic temple.

According to Nana Nyanpong, one needs to first believe in God and have an education to a certain level in order to be admitted into the society.

Known casually as the lodge and widely perceived as a secret society, the Freemasons carry a mysterious aura, a lineage that goes back to the days of King Solomon.

Nana Otwasuom Osei Nyanpong VI who is the, Kamenahene of the Akwamu traditional area, has been a member of the Freemasons for thirty years. “There is no darkness at all in Freemasonry”, he noted; but it is a society that rather introduces light to the ignorant, teaches the purpose of life, and helps build ones relationship with God and neighbors.

“Freemason is a society whose objective is to promote brotherly love, relief, and truth”, he stressed.

Otwasoum explained that Freemasonry is a society primarily of men who must believe in God and His creation of the world, before they are admitted.

The instruments/emblems used by Freemasons are meant to teach the practicalities of life, ones relationship with God, to fellow men and to one’s self, he added.

The basic lessons in the temple, according to Nana, is to divide each day into three; “eight hours, you must work to earn a living, eight hours for rest and recreation and the other eight hours, not forgetting your God”.
