‘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.
Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, Sammy Awuku, has expressed deep sorrow following the sudden passing of Isaac Batsa, the constituency secretary for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawmaker issued a statement on Tuesday reacting to the news, which has shocked the local political community.
Mr.Awuku praised the late NDC secretary for his bipartisan approach to local governance.
He noted that despite their different political affiliations, Batsa consistently rose above party lines to serve the constituency with diligence.
The MP revealed that the news was particularly shocking given that he had last interacted with Batsa just three days prior on Saturday.
Concluding his statement, Sammy Awuku extended his heartfelt condolences to Batsa’s family, the constituency and regional executives, and the entire NDC fraternity, wishing the deceased peaceful eternal rest.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has petitioned the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps to intervene in what it describes as the unlawful arrest and detention of the Bono Regional Chairman of the party, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC.
Speaking during the presentation of the petition, NPP Member of Parliament, Jerry Ahmed Shaib accused the government led by John Dramani Mahama of promoting what he described as a “culture of silence.”
According to him, the continued detention of Abronye DC over a bailable offence was unacceptable and against the principles of justice.
He argued that keeping an accused person in custody until a matter is fully determined was not common practice in democratic states.
“It can only happen in a kangaroo or banana state,” he stated.
Mr. Shaib further alleged that state institutions were being influenced to intimidate political opponents.
He maintained that the criminal libel law had long been repealed in Ghana and questioned why individuals were allegedly being targeted over comments on national issues.
According to him, citizens should not be arrested simply for expressing views, including claims that power outages, popularly known as “dumsor,” had returned.
The lawmaker also accused the presiding judge in the matter of showing bias and claimed the court had failed to indicate when Abronye DC would reappear or be released.
He explained that the NPP deliberately chose a peaceful approach in presenting the petition to the diplomatic community instead of organising demonstrations.
Mr. Shaib noted that the delegation was acting on the instructions of the party leadership, including the Minority Leader, the General Secretary, the National Organiser, and former Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
He called on the diplomatic community and ambassadors in the country to engage the Ghanaian authorities and ensure that justice and human rights were upheld.
