Miracle Outreach announces 5-day national prayer rally - Scheduled for May 11-15

The President of Worldwide Miracle Outreach and Lawrence Tetteh Ministries, Rev. Dr Lawrence Tetteh, has announced a five-day national prayer rally aimed at awakening the conscience of the nation and redirecting attention back to God through prayer and humility.

Dubbed: “This Nonsense Must Stop”, the rally is scheduled to take place at the National Theatre in Accra from May 11 to May 15, this year.

The event, which is based on the Biblical verse in 2 Chronicles 7:14, is intended to serve as a national spiritual response to the growing social, economic, moral and political challenges confronting the country.

The rally, he said, was open to people from all walks of life, regardless of denomination, political affiliation or background.

“It is more than a programme; it is a movement. It is a national call for reflection, repentance and realignment with God’s purpose,” he said.

Growing national concerns

Addressing the media in Accra yesterday, Rev. Dr Tetteh said Ghana, like many nations across the world, was facing increasing pressures, including youth unemployment, economic hardship, moral decline and political polarisation.

According to him, many young people had continued to struggle with uncertainty about their future despite years of education and preparation, while families were burdened by the rising cost of living and limited access to quality healthcare, education and essential services.

“Progress often feels delayed, dreams seem stalled, and many are left questioning the direction of their lives and the nation’s future,” he said.

Rev. Dr Tetteh also expressed concern over illegal mining activities, saying the destruction of water bodies and farmlands through galamsey continued to threaten the country’s environment and future generations.

He further criticised growing corruption and the perception of public office as a means for personal gain rather than national service.

He said the theme of the rally represented a declaration against prolonged hardship, delays in destiny, corruption, moral decline and societal systems that hindered national progress.

“It is a declaration against unnecessary and prolonged struggles and delays in destiny, such as joblessness, marital challenges, career stagnation, as well as against systems and patterns that hinder progress and purpose,” he said.

Practical, spiritual solutions

Rev. Dr Tetteh said the country’s challenges required both practical solutions and spiritual intervention, stressing that prayer remained essential for national healing and transformation.

“In  the light of both global and national realities, the need for prayer has never been more urgent,” he said.

He explained that this year’s rally would place strong emphasis on empowering the youth through moral and spiritual guidance.

Rev. Dr Tetteh said at a time when many young people were exposed to substance abuse, violence and destructive lifestyles, there was the need to guide them towards lives rooted in discipline, integrity, responsibility and patriotism.

He said the initiative sought to inspire the youth to embrace hard work, honesty and service to humanity as principles for national development.

“We want young people to understand that true success is built on strong character, godly values and a commitment to positive living.

“We are praying for a Ghana where justice, equality and accountability prevail, and where national interest take precedence over partisan considerations,” he said.

He also called for peaceful political transitions, ethical leadership and sustained national development policies beyond changing governments.
