“This initiative encourages a profound spiritual awakening, a collective call for national repentance, and a heartfelt journey towards unity.”
Reverend Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, president of Worldwide Miracle Outreach and Lawrence Tetteh Ministries, has announced an 11-day National Prayer Rally in Accra from May 1st to May 11th, 2025, starting at 6 p.m. each night. This announcement was made at a press conference in Accra.
Under the bold theme “This Nonsense Must Stop,” the upcoming non-denominational National Prayer Rally aims to bring together religious leaders and believers across Ghana in a powerful call for divine intervention. Spearheaded by Reverend Dr. Tetteh, the rally will confront the nation’s pressing challenges — from political instability and social injustice to moral decay and environmental degradation — with unified prayer and prophetic action
According to him, “We are living in absurd times. The nonsense in our politics, education, health and socio-economic structures must stop.”
Dr Tetteh emphasised that. “This initiative encourages a profound spiritual awakening, a collective call for national repentance, and a heartfelt journey towards unity.”
He explained that the rally’s provocative theme, “This Nonsense Must Stop,” is not meant to offend, but to echo the deep frustration and hardship many Ghanaians face everyday. Expressing grave concern over the state of governance, the silence of religious leadership, and the erosion of moral values in society, he posed a powerful question that cut through the silence: “Where is the God of Ghana?”
With passion and urgency, Dr. Tetteh challenged Ghana’s Christian and Muslim leaders, who together guide over 95% of the population, to step up as the nation’s moral conscience. In a time marked by uncertainty and unrest, he called for bold spiritual leadership, insisting that prayer must lead the way. “Ghana will not be saved by politics or economic strategies alone. Only divine intervention can turn this nation around,” he stated.
On pressing national issues, like the protracted Bawku conflict, encouraging traditional leaders, civil society organisations, and youth groups to actively promote peace and reconciliation. He called on security agencies and investigative bodies, particularly the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), to strengthen efforts in combating illegal mining.
He highlighted the devastating environmental and health consequences, noting with concern reports of children being born with severe conditions, including blindness, due to exposure to contaminated water sources.
To him, foreign nationals involved in illegal mining must serve their full prison terms before facing deportation and urged traditional chiefs to rise as custodians of the land and fiercely guard against its destruction.
Dr Tetteh expressed profound concern over the growing wave of indiscipline across all sectors, from government and the judiciary to religious institutions and public life, declaring it a national crisis demanding urgent spiritual intervention.
