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.
He trained as an economist at the Budapest Corvinus University of Economics in Hungary and at the London School of Economics (LSE) in the United Kingdom. Whilst he was still pursuing his PhD programme in International Relations in the University in Hungary, he responded to the call as an Evangelist and a Preacher of the Gospel. He was ordained into ministry by Dr. T.L. Osborne and Archbishop Benson Idahosa in the UK

The University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) has disputed claims made on social media by comedian Michael Blackson concerning the treatment given to his late mother, saying a review found that the allegations did not accurately reflect what happened during her stay at the hospital.
In a statement issued in Accra on August 5, 2026, the management of UGMC expressed condolences to Mr. Blackson and his family over the death of his 83-year-old mother, who died at the facility on July 16, 2026.
The hospital said it had taken the concerns raised by Mr. Blackson seriously and conducted a thorough review in line with its clinical and administrative procedures.
According to the statement, the facts presented by Mr. Blackson on social media contained “numerous inaccuracies” and did not accurately reflect the medical care provided to his mother.
UGMC explained that she was referred to the facility from another hospital and received treatment there from May 27 to July 16, 2026, a period of about eight weeks.
The hospital stated that it would not release details of her diagnosis, treatment, medical records or other aspects of her care because it had a duty to protect patient confidentiality, even after death.
It said the decision was intended to respect the dignity of the deceased and the privacy of her family.
UGMC further stated that all clinical decisions at the facility are made by qualified healthcare professionals based on medical judgment, established standards of care and the best interests of the patient.
The statement added that such decisions are made in consultation with authorised family representatives where necessary and that billing and financial procedures are governed by institutional policies and are separate from clinical decision-making.
The hospital noted that it values feedback from patients and their families and considers both positive and negative comments important for improving the quality of care.
Mr. Blackson had earlier used social media to criticise the care his mother received at UGMC, prompting the hospital’s response.
