Strengthen homes, relationships through Christ-centred principles —Rev. Dr Kisseadoo
A ghanaian pastor, author, and counselor, Rev. Dr Samuel Kisseadoo, has called on leaders, families, and believers to strengthen their homes and relationships through Christ-centred principles.
Speaking at the 25th anniversary celebration of Fruitful Ministries International Incorporated in Accra last Saturday, Rev. Dr Kisseadoo emphasised that the future of the nation rests on the excellence of family life.
He urged Christians to embrace practical biblical teachings that promote unity, strong marriages, and discipleship, and also highlighted communication as one of the greatest tools for sustaining marriages and relationships.
According to him, most challenges faced by couples are not rooted in finances or social pressure but in poor communication and lack of understanding.
“Communication is the currency of relationships, words are powerful-what you say, and how you say it don’t can build or break your home,” he stressed.
He reminded Christians that marriage was a mission field, requiring patience, prayer, and selflessness.
As part of the event, he launched his latest book-his 32nd publication titled ‘The importance of relationship and marriage’, focused on building strong Christian families and fruitful relationships.
The book, according to Rev. Kisseadoo offers step-by-step guidance on practical family living, discipleship, and leadership.
Reflecting on his ministry’s journey, he recalled how it started with a small group in December 2000 and has since grown into an international movement dedicated to soul-winning, discipleship, and family empowerment.
Moreover, Rev Dr Kisseadoo praised his partners and supporters in Ghana and abroad, particularly those who have helped sustain the ministry’s vision of counselling, prayer, and teaching.
“Our calling is to bless, restore, and empower families to be fruitful in Christ,” he said. “Family excellence is the key to national excellence,” he added.
The event ended with prayers for families, couples, and the nation, as Rev. Dr Kisseadoo encouraged Christians to leave a lasting legacy of faith, love, and service.
