He said the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross and His Resurrection, would be meaningless if Christians failed to act as agents of change in society.

The four-day Convention had: "The Exalted Christ" as its theme. The Apostolic Church President urged Ghanaians to do away with partisan politics and unite to find solutions to the problems confronting"us as a people with a common destiny." He reminded Ghanaians that God was all-loving, and all-caring, and that He would bless this nation if all and sundry lived peacefully with one another.
