Christians Welcome 2026 with Sunday Prayers and Hope

Ghanaian Christians have ushered in 2026 with prayers of thanksgiving, reflection, and hope for the months ahead. Churches across the country, including Accra, were filled with worshippers from the early hours of Sunday morning.

The services were characterised by praise, worship, and fervent prayers, alongside sermons encouraging gratitude, faith, perseverance, and a renewed commitment to spiritual growth in the New Year.

Pastor Mensa Otabil, general overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), encouraged believers to prioritise sound biblical teaching over the constant pursuit of miracles.

“When you read the book of Acts, you see many miracles happening, cripples walking, and people being raised from the dead, but none of those miracles happened in the church,” he said. “People did not go to church for miracles. They went to church to be taught. The Christian faith begins with knowing what to believe in.”

Meanwhile, Apostle General Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah, founder of Royalhouse Chapel International, assured congregants that 2026 would be a year of divine transformation, urging believers to remain confident in God’s active involvement in their lives.

“The God who has brought you this far is your helper. Jehovah is your helper,” he declared. “You have started well, and you will finish well. At the end of the year, we will not be the same as when we entered.”
