The District Director of Education in Upper Manya, Mrs Grace Adza-Awude, has urged women to make the effort of thanking God for seeing them through trying moment.
Mrs Adza-Awude who is a women’s leader in the Full Gospel Church International (EMC) said women, especially Christian women, would be at peace always if they showed gratitude to God in all endeavors.”
She said this at the EMC branch of Full Gospel Church International Women’s Fellowship (Virtues Ladies) annual conference on the theme “What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits towards me?’ at Koforidua.
She said the Bible was full of thanksgiving stories telling human to be appreciative of what they had and what God had placed in them.
She said contentment and gratefulness had always been part of the Lord’s teachings but sometimes we do not “look at the bright side of life.”
Mrs Adza-Awude said “women are always blinded with negative things rather than what we have. We are always complaining and comparing our lives, it could be true that things are not happening as it should but if we look hard enough, we all have something for which we can be thankful”.
According to her, “nothing flatters a father most than when a child calls him for help or makes him the first retreat not the last resort.”
“God does not need anything but has given all to man. Take what He has given and allow it to accomplish its intended purpose,” she said.
She explained how they could render thanks to God and said they should call upon His name not in distress alone but in all times and He would answer them.
“Pay your vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people and let us boldly go out there and let the world know that our successes come from the Lord, she said and advised them not to find it difficult to show their dependence on God because a true thanksgiving was ‘an act of humility.’

Veteran Nigerian actor and African screen legend, Pete Edochie, has paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, during his visit to Ghana.
Edochie is in Ghana to launch the African Legacy Project, which includes a book, documentary film and an African Youth Mentorship Initiative targeting about 500,000 young people across the continent.
Mr. Gyamfi welcomed the opportunity for GoldBod to support the mentorship initiative, noting that it aligns with the Board’s Special Intervention Programme and its focus on social impact and economic empowerment.
GoldBod’s work is also referenced in Pete Edochie’s new book, which highlights Ghana’s efforts to ensure its gold resources contribute to national development.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Ghanaians seeking employment in Zambia to be cautious of fraudulent job offers that could expose them to human trafficking and forced involvement in cybercrime.
The warning follows the arrest of six Ghanaians in Lusaka, Zambia, during a joint operation by the Zambia Police Service, the Drug Enforcement Commission and the Department of Immigration on August 23, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the operation targeted a facility suspected of being involved in organised cybercrime activities and led to the arrest of 79 people, including 10 Zambians and 69 foreign nationals.
The Ministry said six of the foreign nationals arrested were Ghanaians.
It explained that reports received by the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka indicated that some of those arrested had been recruited through what appeared to be legitimate employment opportunities, including online data entry jobs.
However, the Ministry said some were allegedly forced into online scam activities after their passports were confiscated by their employers.
It warned that the situation highlights how human trafficking groups are using fake employment opportunities to lure unsuspecting job seekers into illegal activities.
The Ministry has therefore advised Ghanaians travelling to Zambia or seeking employment there to thoroughly verify job offers, recruitment agencies and prospective employers before travelling.
Ghanaians living in Zambia have also been urged to remain vigilant when responding to online job opportunities and maintain regular contact with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka for consular assistance when necessary.
The Ministry said the government remains committed to protecting the welfare and interests of Ghanaians travelling to or living outside the country.
