Death and resurrection of Christ: Emulate His humility and selflessness – Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh
Founder of Worldwide Outreach International, a renowned International Evangelist and Economist, Rev.Dr.Lawrence Tetteh has advised Christians to emulate what Jesus Christ stood for in the story of His death and resurrection.
The Man of God who was recently honoured by the President of Hungary with Knight Cross of the Order of Merit of Hungary, said Christians should emulate humility, selflessness and service to humanity as Christ exhibited during the difficult times in His life.
He said that Jesus Christ didn’t die for himself or His family, but for the whole world, adding that these values when emulated would bring blessings and healing to people.
According to him, it was evident in 2Chronicles 7:14, which reads “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
He said that the key things in Christendom were for Christians to be humble, pray, seek the way of Christ and refrain from wicked ways.
Speaking to The Spectator, he said Jesus Christ lived the life of obedience and love for humanity, as well as did what Adam, Abraham and other prophets couldn’t do, ” He died for humanity.”
Dr.Lawrence Tetteh added that the death and the resurrection of Christ had taught Christians forgiveness, and that if there had not been shedding of His blood, there wouldn’t be room for forgiveness.
“As we preach the gospel, we should remember that Christ sacrificed His life for us to achieve these gains; spilling of blood is a sign of blessing, the cross symbolises authority,” he said.
He noted that Christians ought to learn and understand the essence of death and the resurrection power and count themselves blessed because Christ sacrificed His life for all.
He stated further that the shedding of blood taught a moral lesson of forgiveness, because after all the tribulations Christ forgave those who put Him through the challenging time, therefore, “shedding of blood created room for forgiveness of sins.”
Touching on Christians who throw their hands in despair, Rev. Dr. Tetteh to such people to be mindful of the fact that delays in life were not denial, as Christ did not have it all smooth in His lifetime.
He told The Spectator that the journey in serving the Lord would not be smooth throughout, “but there is time for everything, and I wish everyone a happy Easter”.
” In his own time, he makes things beautiful, at every given time, we should be patient and have faith,” he noted.
Touching on the Power of the Cross of Christ with reference to Isaiah 53:1 – 10, he said “Christ died for us, Christ died to bring us to God, Christ died for our sins, Christ died to take away our shame, Christ died our death.”
Dr.Lawrence Tetteh added that the three last words of Jesus on the cross were “I am thirsty, It is finished and Father, in thy hands I lift my spirit.”
He explained that “Our release and breakthrough started from here.The cross enforces three truths about ourselves, about God, and about Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour.”
Rev. Dr.Lawrence Tetteh is a teacher of the Gospel and the author of many books, including Dangers of Offence, Count your Blessings and Benefits of the Anointing. He is a tele-evangelist, a philanthropist, a public speaker and host of Miracle Touch TV programme worldwide.
He is married to Mrs.Barbara Tetteh also an ordained minister, an administrator and a social scientist, and their marriage is blessed with David,Emmanuel and Prince.

The member of parliament for Ketu North, Edem Agbana, has condemned alleged vote buying linked to Baba Jamal during recent political activities at Ayawaso East, describing the act as completely foreign to the values of the NDC.
During a discussion on Metro TV, Mr Agbana expressed concern about what he described as an open display of wealth during the event over the weekend.
He referred to videos circulating online which showed items such as television sets being distributed to people, stressing that such actions do not reflect the party he grew up to admire and join.
According to him, the NDC is built on core values of accountability, probity and transparency, and that explains why many party members have reacted strongly to the incident.
He indicated that the outrage within the party shows a clear rejection of vote buying and similar practices.
Mr.Agbana also disagreed with comments attributed to the Greater Accra Regional Minister suggesting that vote buying happens in every election.
He maintained that such a view does not represent the position of the NDC and should not be normalised under any circumstances.
He pointed out that immediately the reports and videos emerged, the party leadership took a firm stance against the alleged acts rather than trying to justify them.
He noted that the party was awaiting the release of an official report on the matter and expressed confidence that any recommendations would be fully implemented.
Mr.Agbana described the current leadership of the NDC as disciplined and principled, with a proven record of integrity.
He stressed that the party’s response to the issue shows that its reset agenda is not only directed at political opponents but also focused on internal discipline and self correction.
He further assured the public that the NDC will not protect any individual found culpable of vote buying. However, he added that anyone accused will be given a fair opportunity to respond, in line with the principles of natural justice.
Mr.Agbana concluded that the party remains committed to building a strong and resilient political organisation that upholds probity, transparency and accountability at all levels.

The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, says government has created an enabling environment for businesses and exporters to grow and thrive.
She made the remarks during a working visit to Kasapreko PLC, where she interacted with management and staff of the company.
According to the Minister, Ghana’s macroeconomic indicators have improved significantly, making it easier for businesses to plan and operate.
“When I became Minister, industry players were worried about the exchange rate and how it affected pricing and working capital. Today, that is no longer the case. The economy has done well, and the cedi has appreciated,” she said.
Ofosu-Adjare noted that government’s economic recovery efforts under President John Dramani Mahama have stabilised the business environment, a development she said is already reflecting positively in the operations of local industries.
She explained that her ministry has adopted a deliberate approach of engaging exporters regularly to understand their challenges and address them promptly.
One of such issues, she said, was the time frame for the repatriation of export proceeds, which has since been resolved to help businesses improve cash flow.
The Minister expressed excitement about Kasapreko’s expansion plans, stressing that government is not only focused on attracting foreign direct investment but also committed to supporting Ghanaian-owned businesses.
“My presence here shows that I am interested in local businesses expanding and taking their rightful place in the industry,” she said.
She added that local entrepreneurs invest in Ghana, live in the country, and contribute directly to national development, and therefore deserve strong government support.
Ofosu-Adjare assured Kasapreko PLC of government’s continued support to ensure its growth and sustainability.
She revealed that she would engage the Ghana Water Company to address water supply challenges facing the company.
Management of Kasapreko PLC welcomed the Minister’s visit and commended government for policies that have helped stabilise the economy and improve business confidence.
