Former President John Dramani Mahama recently delivered a powerful keynote address at the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving in Accra, Ghana. The event, held on 1st July, focused on the theme “Reset, Reflect and Review for National Prosperity”, urging citizens to embrace values of compassion, truth, and integrity in their daily lives.
Mahama emphasized the importance of choosing words that heal and build unity, rather than ones that sow division and tension. He highlighted the need for actions to accompany faith, quoting James 2:17 which states, “Faith by itself, if not accompanied by action, is dead.”
The former President called for a commitment to honesty, humility, and integrity in both public and private life. He emphasized the significance of holding leaders, including himself, to high ethical standards in order to achieve national transformation.
The National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving brought together religious leaders, government officials, and citizens from all across Ghana. It served as a platform for collective reflection, spiritual renewal, and a reaffirmation of national values.
Mahama’s message resonated with a growing call for principled leadership and a united national front rooted in respect, righteousness, and responsible speech. He urged Ghanaians to live out their faith through love, truth, and service to the nation.
As the country continues to navigate challenges and opportunities, Mahama’s words serve as a reminder of the power of compassion, truth, and integrity in shaping a prosperous and cohesive society. The event was a solemn reminder of the importance of faith, action, and unity in building a better future for all Ghanaians.
