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.
