President John Dramani Mahama celebrated his 67th birthday with a morning devotion and prayer service held at his Accra residence.
The service was officiated by Rev. Stephen Wengam, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, who led a team of clergy to pray with the former President. Rev. Wengam also administered Holy Communion to Mr. Mahama and his family and anointed him for the next chapter of his life.
In his short sermon, Rev. Wengam encouraged Mr. Mahama to stay rooted in his faith, grow closer to the Holy Spirit, and rely entirely on God for direction, protection, and divine success.
He also urged him to be an instrument in shaping Ghana into a peaceful, prosperous, and Christ-centered nation.
Several other ministers of the gospel were present, including Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, Rev. Michael Ayesu, Rev. Ben Tettey, Rev. (Rtd.) Ernest Agyei, Rev. Andrew N. Awintia, Rev. Aaron Fant, and Pastor Boateng Sarpong.
In his remarks, President Mahama reflected on his modest beginnings, saying he never imagined he would one day become President of Ghana.
He credited God’s grace for his rise and shared how he became a born-again Christian at Ringway Gospel Centre Assemblies of God under the leadership of Rev. (Rtd.) Ernest Agyei.
