Hundreds turn out at Mega Kharis Int. gospel music concert
The much anticipated evangelism extravaganza loaded with gospel music and dance came off last Saturday at the Mega Kharis International Ministries, Adentan in Accra.
The yearly event which drew hundreds of Christians and non-Christians to the venue had the theme, “My Praise, My Miracle” and was organized by the Mega Kharis Church Choir, Ministers of Grace.
The idea behind the prpgramme was to use gospel music through praises and worship to win souls for Jesus Christ at commanded by Jesus Himself in the Bible.
The Ministers of Grace sang songs in English, Ewe and Twi to praise the name of the Lord which brought the audience to their feet while some were even on their knees, and others lying on the floor including children.
When the Head Pastor of the Church, Rev Shamoson Abbey took over the stage to give a short exaltation beginning with a song “Breathe” it was awesome as most of the audience shed tears, with some kneeling while others also prayed in the spirit to worship the Almighty God.
Pastor Abbey expressed worry that some African leaders especially Ghana, who have all the opportunities on earth to give their total lives to Christ, serve Him wholeheartedly, receive good counsel from the Almighty God to make good decisions and judgements, had rejected them.
This, he said, had led to corruption and bad decisions for the nations.
Defining worship, Rev Abbey said it was a clarion call for the Holy Spirit to the believer to always lift the name of the almighty God through Jesus Christ who sacrificed His life on the cross for mankind.
Speaking prophetically from Isaiah 60 he said God was preparing His people for a massive worship explosion in 2022 where he would visit the nations of the earth with His glory especially Africa.
He said that God was going to cleanse the Church with His divine power to expose the false prophets and remove the filthy garments from His ministers.
Rev Abbey said God was going to turn global tables down and heal Africa from its wounds and restore its lost glory where many nations would run to Africa for spiritual directions and guidance.
“Africa will become the consultant for the nations, not with support and guidance alone but in spiritual guidance” he stated.
He urged the youth to serve the Lord and never neglect Jesus Christ in their lives to enable them move away from the many social vices confronting them.

A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour by the Bekwai Circuit Court for his role in a 2022 robbery at a mining site at Manso Akwasiso in the Ashanti South Region.
The convict, Dominic Ofori, also known as Fanta, was arrested on 16th February 2026 after years on the run. He pleaded guilty before the Bekwai Circuit Court to robbery contrary to Section 149 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 Act 29, and was accordingly sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour.
On March 20, 2022, the Manso Adubia District Police received intelligence that a group of armed men from Manso Abodom were planning to attack a mining site at Manso Akwasiso to rob the owner of gold concentrate. Acting on the information, police mounted a coordinated operation and laid an ambush at the site.
At about 5:30 pm the same day, four-armed men arrived at the site, fired indiscriminately, and robbed the miners of their gold concentrate. The police team on surveillance intervened, resulting in an exchange of gunfire.
Three of the suspects, Abu Abubakar, Musah Latif, and Gideon Takyi, sustained gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead on arrival at St Martins Catholic Hospital at Agroyesum. Dominic Ofori escaped at the time but was later arrested and put before the court.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has assured the public of its continued commitment to combating violent crimes and bringing offenders to justice.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested 45-year-old Isaac Boafo, also known as “Duabo King,” for allegedly publishing false news intended to cause fear and panic.
Police said the arrest follows a viral TikTok video in which Boafo claimed that four officers at the Central Police Station in Kumasi engaged in inappropriate conduct with commercial sex workers during night patrols in Asafo.
Officers from the Police Intelligence Directorate (Ashanti Region) apprehended Boafo after receiving intelligence about the video.
During questioning, he admitted to creating the video to attract views and engagement online, and acknowledged that he could not prove the allegations.
Boafo also admitted making comments about the President of the Republic for content purposes and could not defend those statements.
He has been formally charged and is in detention as investigations continue.
The Ashanti Regional Police have warned the public against publishing or sharing false information on social media, noting that such acts can cause fear, panic, and damage reputations.
They said anyone found engaging in similar conduct will face legal action.
