Founder and President of Worldwide Miracle Outreach and Lawrence Tetteh Ministries, Reverend Dr Lawrence Tetteh, has called for the inclusion of what he describes as the “God factor” in Ghana’s socio-economic governance to help tackle the country’s growing challenges.
According to him, efforts aimed at national development must be grounded in spiritual direction to achieve lasting transformation.
Rev. Dr Tetteh made the remarks at a press conference in Accra ahead of the 2026 National Prayer and Healing Rally.
He argued that Ghana’s persistent economic, social, and moral difficulties require more than policy interventions, stressing that divine guidance is necessary for meaningful national progress.
The five-day rally, scheduled to take place from May 11 to May 15, 2026, at the National Theatre of Ghana, is themed “This Nonsense Must Stop,” based on the biblical text in 2 Chronicles 7:14.
The programme is expected to bring together people from different religious, political, and social backgrounds for a national reflection on repentance, unity, justice, and ethical leadership.
Rev. Dr Tetteh said the initiative seeks to inspire integrity, discipline, and civic responsibility while drawing attention to issues such as unemployment, corruption, illegal mining, environmental degradation, and the rising cost of living.
“Ghana needs the God factor in socio-economic affairs. Without a spiritual dimension, many of the challenges confronting the nation may persist despite human efforts,” he said.
He noted that many Ghanaians, particularly young people, continue to face economic hardship and uncertainty about the future, while families struggle with increasing living costs.
Rev. Dr Tetteh also raised concerns about political polarisation, declining moral standards, and the growing perception of public office as an avenue for personal enrichment, describing the trend as a setback to national development.
He stressed the need to raise a generation grounded in strong moral and spiritual values to help drive sustainable national progress.
“There is the urgent need to raise a generation anchored on godly values, capable of leading the nation towards sustainable progress,” he stated.
Describing the rally as more than a religious gathering, Rev. Dr Tetteh said it is intended to restore hope and encourage collective national action.
“It is a declaration that Ghana can rise above its challenges through prayer and alignment with God’s purpose,” he added.
He further urged Ghanaians to participate in the event, saying, “A prayerless nation is a powerless nation,” while expressing confidence that humility and prayer could lead to national healing and transformation.
