Accra, Nov. 26, GNA – Renowned Evangelist, Reverend Dr Lawrence Tetteh, has received an award from Leadership Speaker and Philanthropist Dr John Maxwell at the African Highroad Leadership Conference 2025 in Nairobi, Kenya.
Rev Tetteh, a keynote speaker at the event, addressed the topic: “The dangers of offence”, which he described as “a major setback for many emerging leaders”.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), in Accra on Wednesday, he urged leaders to remain focused despite negative remarks or conduct that could derail them from their God-given purpose.
He cited scripture to emphasise the need for emotional control to avoid what he termed “traps of the enemy.”
“Offences are traps of the enemy; offences will make you sick, boastful and arrogant. Offence will make you lose your authority and what you have laboured for,” he said.
The award recognised Rev Tetteh’s exemplary leadership, commitment to preaching the Gospel, and efforts to inspire lives as a Minister of God.
Mr Eric Nyuma, Africa Regional Director of the Maxwell/EQUIP Leadership Beyond Success Programme, commended Rev Tetteh for mentoring young leaders and positively impacting lives over the years.
Dr John C. Maxwell, an American author and leadership coach, is widely regarded as a global authority on leadership. He has written several best-selling books, including “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”, and founded organisations such as the John Maxwell Company and EQUIP, which have trained millions of leaders in more than 180 countries.
Rev Tetteh is the founding President of Worldwide Miracle Outreach, headquartered in London. He has dedicated his life to ministry, philanthropy, and intellectual pursuits, reaching global audiences through tele-evangelism and programmes such as Miracle Touch TV.
He also speaks on social issues, including responsible public discourse and the misuse of prophecies.
