President John Dramani Mahama has urged Ghanaians to embrace sacrifice, justice, and national unity in his Easter address delivered at the Good Friday Miracle Service 2025, held at Independence Square in Accra.
The President, speaking before a packed crowd at one of the country’s largest annual Christian gatherings, emphasised the need for citizens to carry one another’s burdens and live lives rooted in truth and purpose.
“Let us share generously. Let us bear one another’s burdens — including the weight of unemployment and the struggles within our communities,” President Mahama said.
In a speech that echoed the spiritual and moral themes of Easter, the President called on Ghanaians to reflect on their personal sacrifices and commitment to Christ.
“Are we standing for justice? Are we living as the salt and light we are called to be?” he asked. “Even when the night is darkest, we must trust Christ. Even though Friday is the darkest day, resurrection is coming.”
The President urged the nation to allow the hope of the resurrection to inspire resilience, declaring that with Christ, Ghanaians can rise above any challenge.
“We must walk together in unity and in truth,” he said.
Thousands Gather at Independence Square
The Good Friday Miracle Service, organised by Evangelist Dag Heward-Mills and the United Denominations Originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches, drew thousands of worshippers from across the country and beyond.
Themed around salvation, healing, and the message of the cross, the service featured moments of prayer, worship, healing, and mass altar calls.
Evangelist Heward-Mills urged attendees to come with faith, proclaiming: “Bring the sick, bring the broken, bring the lost — Jesus still saves, heals and delivers!”
Attendees, many of whom arrived hours before the 3pm start, described the atmosphere as “electric” and “life-changing.”
The event is now considered one of the largest annual religious gatherings in Ghana, with Independence Square filled to capacity.
National Significance

His message comes at a time when many Ghanaians are navigating economic pressures, social uncertainty, and spiritual searching.
The President’s Easter address served as both a pastoral message and a call to action — rooted in faith, unity, and hope.
