Strengthen homes, relationships through Christ-centred principles —Rev. Dr Kisseadoo
A ghanaian pastor, author, and counselor, Rev. Dr Samuel Kisseadoo, has called on leaders, families, and believers to strengthen their homes and relationships through Christ-centred principles.
Speaking at the 25th anniversary celebration of Fruitful Ministries International Incorporated in Accra last Saturday, Rev. Dr Kisseadoo emphasised that the future of the nation rests on the excellence of family life.
He urged Christians to embrace practical biblical teachings that promote unity, strong marriages, and discipleship, and also highlighted communication as one of the greatest tools for sustaining marriages and relationships.
According to him, most challenges faced by couples are not rooted in finances or social pressure but in poor communication and lack of understanding.
“Communication is the currency of relationships, words are powerful-what you say, and how you say it don’t can build or break your home,” he stressed.
He reminded Christians that marriage was a mission field, requiring patience, prayer, and selflessness.
As part of the event, he launched his latest book-his 32nd publication titled ‘The importance of relationship and marriage’, focused on building strong Christian families and fruitful relationships.
The book, according to Rev. Kisseadoo offers step-by-step guidance on practical family living, discipleship, and leadership.
Reflecting on his ministry’s journey, he recalled how it started with a small group in December 2000 and has since grown into an international movement dedicated to soul-winning, discipleship, and family empowerment.
Moreover, Rev Dr Kisseadoo praised his partners and supporters in Ghana and abroad, particularly those who have helped sustain the ministry’s vision of counselling, prayer, and teaching.
“Our calling is to bless, restore, and empower families to be fruitful in Christ,” he said. “Family excellence is the key to national excellence,” he added.
The event ended with prayers for families, couples, and the nation, as Rev. Dr Kisseadoo encouraged Christians to leave a lasting legacy of faith, love, and service.

Declare a state of emergency in parts of the country affected by illegal mining – Coalition Against Galamsey to Mahama
The Coalition Against Galamsey is asking President John Mahama to declare a state of emergency in areas badly affected by illegal mining.
According to the Convenor of the Coalition, Dr. Kenneth Ashigbey, the situation has gone beyond control and requires urgent action to save lives and protect the environment.
He explained that the Constitution allows a state of emergency to be declared when the actions of criminals threaten essential resources such as water, safety, and the survival of communities.
He said illegal miners were destroying water bodies and depriving large communities of clean drinking water, which is an “essential of life.”
Dr. Ashigbey stressed that the call was not for the entire country, but only for parts of Ghana where the destruction is severe.
He added that declaring a state of emergency in these areas will give government the legal power to act quickly and decisively.
He also called on the President to provide clear timelines and targets to guide the fight against galamsey.
This, he said, would help demonstrate government’s seriousness and commitment to ending the menace.
The Coalition insisted that declaring a state of emergency was no longer a last resort but an immediate step needed to save Ghanaians and protect the future of the country.

The Ghana Bar Association must be non-partisan in the discharge of their duties – Dominic Ayine urges
The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dominic Ayine, has called on the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) to remain non-partisan in the discharge of its duties.
He said the credibility of the legal profession would be at risk if the bar allowed itself to be influenced by political interests.
Speaking at the GBA 2025/ 2026 annual general conference, Dr. Ayine reminded members that their first allegiance was to the Constitution and the Republic, not to any government or opposition party.
He stressed that for over three decades, the GBA had played an important role in helping the Supreme Court interpret and enforce the law, but outside the courtroom, its advocacy had often lacked consistency.
Dr. Ayine pointed to past cases such as the 2015 petition against the former CHRAJ Chairperson, Loretta Lamptey, and the 2017 petition for the removal of Electoral Commission Chairperson, Charlotte Osei, where the bar remained silent.
He noted that the association only found its voice during the petition against former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, a stance he said coincided with the position of the opposition.
He questioned why the bar acted differently in those situations, especially since all three cases involved women of repute who held positions in key constitutional bodies.
Dr. Ayine urged the GBA to be the conscience of the republic, saying lawyers must defend the rule of law, the independence of the judiciary, and the rights of citizens regardless of which political party was in power.
He warned against inviting foreign interference in Ghana’s constitutional matters, saying international collaboration should be limited to professional exchanges and not politics.
He further encouraged the GBA to promote integrity among its members, strengthen pro bono services to support the poor, and embrace digital reforms such as e-filing and electronic court records to modernize the justice system.
According to him, the destiny of Ghana is tied to the integrity of the legal profession.
He added that if lawyers stand firm, the country will also stand firm, but if they falter, the republic will stumble.
