The General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Wengam, has stressed the need to shape citizens to become demonstrably patriotic, incorruptible, and hardworking to advance national development.
He said this agenda must be given topmost priority in 2026.
Rev. Wengam made the call at the Watch Night Service of Cedar Mountain Chapel in Accra to usher in the New Year.
“Even though there will be challenging moments, 2026 will bring greater prosperity and favour,” he declared.
Drawing lessons from the life of the Patriarch Abraham, described as the father of the Christian faith, Rev. Wengam expressed the belief that adhering to authentic faith could effectively accelerate nation-building.
He urged Christians to emulate Abraham by “believing boldly and radically while modelling godly living to defend that legacy of faith.” According to him, this would translate into patriotism, positive work ethics, higher productivity, and a less corruptible society.
The General Superintendent bemoaned the practice where Christians serve God only for what they would receive without imbibing proper teachings on holy and righteous living.
“That was not the kind of Christian faith bequeathed to us,” he emphasized.
Rev. Wengam announced that all Assemblies of God churches in Ghana would embark on a week-long fasting and prayer from Monday, January 5, to Sunday, January 11, 2026, to intercede for the church and the nation.
Present at the Watch Night Service was the Burkinabe Ambassador to Ghana, Mr. David Kabre.
