He gave the assurance that the government would improve the economy and better the lives of Ghanaians.
He asked for the prayers of the religious society for the wisdom to pursue the vision of achieving prosperity for all by the government, saying that “we’ll continue to rely on your prayers.”
The Vice President, who was accompanied by his wife, Mrs Matilda Amissah-Arthur, had earlier worshipped at the Methodist Church of the Resurrection at Kpehe, near Caprice in Accra.
He later interacted with the congregation of the Asbury Donewell Worship Centre at Ridge, where the Second Lady worships.
Progress
Mr Amissah-Arthur said in spite of the myriad of challenges such as the 2012 Election Petition, which created some nervousness of a possible conflict, the economic challenges, the market fires, many motor accidents, the unexpected failure of the Black Stars to lift the African Cup of Nations trophy in South Africa, there was a resilience to bring the society back on track.
“ The end of the year was much better than the beginning. In all aspects of life the end is much better than the beginning,” he said.
He underscored the need for Ghanaians to support the government in its determination to improve on the economy, adding that “It shall be well.”
In separate homilies, the ministers in charge of the two churches acknowledged the goodness and mercy of God Almighty upon the nation in the past year, and urged their congregations to keep faith and trust in God to attract His rich blessing.
Very Reverend Theophillus Kwesi Anderson, the Resident Minister of the Calvary Methodist Church, said the Lord was ready to give hope in difficult times.
Divine visitation
“Stop complaining. In 2014, God will come and visit Ghana. Don’t forget God in 2014. Let’s have the patience to wait and wait on the Lord to provide,” he added.
Rev Bernard Bosompem-Boafo, a former Minister in charge of the Methodist Church of the Resurrection at Kpehe, who preached on: “Blessings from Obedience,” said that New Year comes with high expectations, but God’s blessing comes on the condition of obeying Him.”
He said no nation or group of people who worked diligently and applied God’s principles had failed.
