Teddy was optimistic that lives would be touched on the day and urged the general public to be at the event to tap into the blessing.
He said, Bikkurim, or first-fruits, are a type of sacrificial offering which was offered by ancient Israelites.
“The first-grown fruits were brought to the Temple and laid by the altar, and a special declaration recited. The laws of this offering appear in the Bikkurim tractate of the Talmud,” he added.
According to Teddy, Bikkurim is described as “an acknowledgement that the harvest and abundance came because of the Lord’s promise.” Let us also note that “giving the first fruit offering is a declaration that you are trusting God’s unwavering promise of provision.”
He expressed his appreciation to all the wonderful musicians who accepted to be on the bill to impact lives through their ministry.
Diana Hopeson, Empress Gifty, Piesie Esther, Pastor Kofy, Seth Diamond, who were at the Press Conference further endorsed the concert and urged all and sundry to be part.

Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
