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.

Medical Doctor and dietician, Dr Bernice Korkor Asare, has urged women to take greater responsibility for their lifestyle choices, particularly their eating habits and levels of physical activity, to help reduce their risk of developing breast cancer.
According to her, although, some breast cancer risk factors, such as family history and certain reproductive factors, may not be within an individual’s control, lifestyle choices offer an opportunity for people to take preventive action.
She made this known during a talk on the topic: “Role of diet in breast cancer prevention” organised by Times Ladies Association of the New Times Corporation, publishers of The Ghanaian Times and The Spectator, in Accra on Thursday.
The event themed “Breast Cancer Awareness- Promoting Early Detection, Healthy Eating and Prevention.” 
She noted that having a risk factor did not automatically mean a person would develop breast cancer, but could increase the likelihood of developing the disease compared with someone without that particular risk factor.
“Having close relatives who have had breast cancer, particularly a mother, sister or daughter, may increase the risk, although not everyone with a family history will develop the disease,” Dr Asare opined. Read More.

A group of compassionate friends from Innovation Gospel Impact last Friday visited the management, teachers and learners of the Street Academy in Accra.
The visit was to interact to get a deeper insight into the operations of the Academy that houses hundreds of street and underprivileged children and find ways to support them.
The team was led by Rev. Dr Isaac Apenteng Yeboah, a former Director for West African Mailbox Club and Director for Prisons Support Foundation, and Rev. Dale Sutherland from Washington DC.
The call, according to the visitors was occasioned by reports about the struggles of the Academy despite the occasional support it enjoys from individuals and some corporate entities.
Briefing them, the Founder and Executive Director of the Academy, Dr Ataa Lartey, thanked them for the concern showed, indicating that “this is a major boost for both teachers and learners; knowing that their plight is known by people outside their premises.”
According Dr Lartey, the Academy had planned to undertake a number of project to enhance teaching and learning and also procure facilities for the children with keen interest in sports but had to shelve those plans for lack of finance.
He told the team that their biggest concerns were the monthly utility bills that takes a toll on their finances.
“We have a piece of land we planned to turn into an astro turf pitch to train the younger ones whose interests lies in making a career out of football, however, we have been unable to commence because there is no money now,” he said.
Dr Lartey expressed gratitude to the teachers who have dedicated their lives to training these children, rather than going for well-paying jobs and hoped that with time, their conditions of engagement would improve.
Moved by the plight of the Academy, the group donated a cash amount of Gh₵3,000 to settle its water bills.
They described as unfortunate the conditions of learners and teachers of the Academy and pledged to continuously support their operations to realize the dream to build a better future for the unfortunate children.
The group offered to support the school with its monthly utility bills, feeding and staff allowance and urged the Academy staff to remain in constant touch with them.
The Street Academy is located at the Accra Art Center and offers brilliant but needy the chance to pursue their educational dreams by enrolling them in public schools with others offered training in sports and cultural activities.
