Worshippers from all walks of life converged at the OIC Park for the Watchnight Service of Cedar Mountain Chapel, Assemblies of God (CMC), East Legon, dubbed “Crossing Over on Eagle’s Wings.”
The service was led by Rev. Stephen Wengam, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, and Lead Pastor of CMC. Congregants were ushered into the new season through intense prayers, anointed praise and worship, and a sermon titled “The Faith of Our Fathers.”
In his message, Rev. Wengam called on Christians to emulate the authentic faith of Abraham, urging believers to “believe boldly and radically, model godly living, and defend the legacy of faith handed down to us.”
He explained that such faith would produce citizens who are patriotic, shun corruption, and demonstrate a positive work ethic—values he said are critical for national development and economic growth.
Rev. Wengam also revealed that 2026 would bring greater prosperity and favour, but was quick to caution that the year would not be without challenges.
He advised Christians to exemplify radical faith in God, noting that such faith would provoke the divine blessings needed to overcome difficult moments.
The event was attended by the Managing Director of Citi FM and Channel One TV, Samuel Attah-Mensah, staff of the media organisations, and the Burkinabe Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. David Kabre.
During the service, the General Superintendent also announced that the 2026 National Week of Fasting will be observed from Monday, January 6, to Sunday, January 11, 2026.
