‘Christ resurrection, foundation of Christian faith —Rev. Doe’
ASSOCIATE Pastor of Kingspride Word International Church, Rev. Francis Doe, has urged Christians to hold on to hope and faith through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Preaching from 1 Corinthians 15, during the climax of a three-day Easter camp in Accra on Sunday, Rev. Doe described the resurrection as the foundation of the Christian faith and a source of enduring hope for humanity.
“The resurrection is not just a story. It assures us that no matter how dark life may seem, there is victory beyond suffering, and life beyond death,” he told congregants.
He emphasised that Christ’s death and resurrection were not only historical events but transformative truths that continue to impact lives today. He said; just as Jesus rose from the dead, believers were promised new life both spiritually and eternally.
Rev. Doe encouraged worshippers to remain steadfast in faith despite life’s challenges.
“If Christ has conquered death, then there is nothing we face that is beyond God’s power,” he said.
He also highlighted transformation, explaining that believers will one day exchange their mortal bodies for glorified, immortal ones. He likened this to a seed growing into something far greater, reminding attendees that current struggles were temporary.
Addressing death, he reassured the congregation that it no longer holds ultimate power.
“Death has been defeated. Through Christ, we have victory, and that victory gives us hope not just for today, but for eternity.”
The sermon concluded with a call for purposeful living, grounded in faith and service. Rev. Doe reminded worshippers that their efforts in serving God and humanity were never in vain.
In a related event, Rev. Dr. Sam Ayi Ankrah, founder and General Overseer of Kingspride Word Chapel International, during the ordination of Pastor Nii Quaye Ashie of the Klo Agogo branch, urged Christians to walk in Christ’s footsteps and lead others to salvation.
“Live holy, love others, and guide humanity toward God,” highlighting that as the core mission of Kingpride Word International Church.
He inspired hope and resilience, particularly in challenging times, reminding believers that through the resurrection, they are offered a living hope that transcends every trial.
President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Libreville, Gabon, to participate in the inaugural Libreville International Forum for Innovation and Development, a high-level event that brings together Heads of State, government officials, global investors, and technology experts.
The forum, being held under the patronage of Mr Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, President of the Republic of Gabon, is on the theme “Political Stability, Business Climate, and Artificial Intelligence: Catalysts for Growth.”
The forum seeks to position Gabon as a regional innovation hub and key destination for international investment.
Organisers are holding the Forum to inaugurate the newly constructed Omar Bongo Ondimba Congress Centre, which also serves as the venue for the Forum and as a future centre for international dialogue.
The forum will culminate in the “Libreville Declaration,” which will showcase the strategic political leaders’ commitments to enhancing governance, transparency, and digital integration across the continent.
President Mahama remains a strong advocate for fostering partnerships that bridge the gap between government policy and private-sector growth to ensure inclusive development.
