Accra, Ghana – As the nation embarks on a new year, Bishop Salifu Amoako, Founder and General Overseer of Live Chapel International, has issued a stirring appeal to Ghanaians to prioritize seriousness, integrity, and spiritual revival.
In an interview following his sermon on January 4, 2026, Bishop Amoako emphasized that 2026 must be a year of divine increase and personal responsibility. “I want to wish all Ghanaians a happy new year,” he said. “I pray that this year will be very special for you in Jesus’ name.”
Reflecting on the past year, he noted mixed outcomes: “For some, it was good; for others, difficult. But God is always working. We must work with God and be serious about our lives, work, and nation-building.”
The bishop stressed that prayer and prophecy are insufficient without action, highlighting the theme of *Seriousness in Work and Faith*: “People must take their businesses seriously. We need seriousness – it’s the law of success. If Ghanaians rise up and focus, things will work for them.”
Addressing the prophetic community, he cautioned against competition and empty declarations, emphasizing *Prophetic Integrity*: “Everybody saying something is confusing people. Upcoming prophets must take time to pray and hear from God properly. The prophetic office needs redemption.”
Bishop Amoako urged young people to serve God with righteousness, lamenting the influence of worldly values in the church: “The world is influencing the church; we must take back our place. The pulpit should preach repentance, love, and grace – not comedy.”
Calling for *Revival and Holiness*, he said, “When revival comes, there will be shaking, fear of God, and transformation. We need God’s power to change lives.” He decried churchgoers dressing “half-naked” without conviction.
His message concluded with prayer for Ghana’s leaders, citizens, and the global church: “May 2026 bring increase, peace, and purpose. Let’s prioritize God and seriousness.”
Bishop Amoako’s words aim to inspire Ghanaians toward purposeful living, spiritual depth, and national progress in 2026.
