President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has reiterated his call on the Christian faith to continuously back the nation up in prayer for the progressive and prosperous Ghana he envisages to materialise.
He says despite his optimism for the opportunities that abound in the times ahead for the nation, the realisation of the hopes is only possible with the guidance of the Almighty God, reminding the Ghanaian people that “the battle is the Lord’s.”
Speaking at the Annual Eucharist Service at the Jubilee House Tuesday, January 09, 2024, the President said “let me in conclusion plead strongly, with the church to bear the nation continuously up in prayers, for the battle is the Lord’s. As God’s children we may be tempted to allow struggles to define our worth. However, our ultimate victory is guaranteed. We may stumble along the way, but we will always, as Romans 8 vs 37 says, be more than conquerors.”
The President further expressed that he was confident the progress and prosperity he foresees would be attained before the end of the tenure of his office.
He courted the citizenry to consolidate all the policies he has implemented since the assumption office of his administration in January 2017, expressing gratitude to God for the opportunities available for Ghanaians.
“Indeed Ghana has come this far by His grace and I’m excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for our country.
“At the end of my time in office as it nears, with one year to go, I’m filled with optimism and determination with the support of the Ghanaian people and the guidance of the Almighty God, I’m confident that we’ll achieve our goal of creating a progressive and prosperous Ghana for all,” he encouraged.
Congratulating the Anglican Communion of Ghana for its newly inaugurated Tema and Nkoranza dioceses, the President said the goal he seeks to achieve “is a mission that requires not only political understanding but also heavenly inspiration and grace.”
He further urged the citizenry “to begin the new year with a renewed sense of purpose and a stronger commitment of ideas that unite us as a free nation.”
