Senior Pastor of Agape House New Testament Church, Rev. Richard Whitcomb, has stated that Ghana’s greatest challenge is not political leadership, but the conduct of its citizens, especially Christians.
Delivering a sermon on Saturday, June 21, 2025, Rev. Whitcomb urged Ghanaians to pursue personal transformation rather than pinning all hope on political change.
“The change we need in Ghana will not take place with a change in government. The change we need will take place with a change in us. The problem is not the people in Jubilee House, it’s the people in God’s house,” he told the congregation.
He emphasized that his message was not rooted in partisanship, making it clear that he holds no political affiliations.
“Please hear me out. I’m not NDC or NPP. I’m not CPP or any other PP. I’m priestly, not political. I’m not into man’s rule, I’m into God’s rule,” he stated firmly.
Rev. Whitcomb further cautioned believers against hypocrisy, urging them to lead by example and reflect integrity in their personal lives and businesses.
“Don’t cry about corruption in government when you run your business corruptly. Don’t bemoan bribery in society when you pay and accept bribes in your business,” he said.
He concluded by affirming that national transformation begins with spiritual renewal and called on Christians to live according to God’s word if they truly desire to see Ghana flourish.
