Fitzgerald Odonkor, General Overseer of Harvest Chapel International, delivered a sermon centered on sacrifice, patience, and perseverance.
“Sacrifice is one of the parameters of suffering. Ghana, like every great nation, has made sacrifices to progress. I urge you all to give your best in faith, leadership, and service to their country,” he said.
He further emphasized that challenges refine believers whiles encouraging endurance and resilience in the face of trials. He stressed that patience perfects individuals and nations alike, calling for commitment to growth and unity.
Mr. Odonkor tied his message to national development, urging Ghanaians to embrace sacrifice in their pursuit of progress.
“Persecution is what happens when the word clashes with the world. I encourage you all to remain steadfast, serve faithfully, and avoid distractions that hinder their purpose,” he urged.
