THANKSGIVING — A POWERFUL DIMENSION OF PRAYER
Thanksgiving is not decoration in prayer;
it is a spiritual force.
When thanksgiving becomes a lifestyle, it reshapes outcomes.
1️⃣ THANKSGIVING IS PART OF PRAYER — NOT OPTIONAL
📖 Philippians 4:6 (KJV)
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”
Prayer that lacks thanksgiving is incomplete.
Thanksgiving:
removes anxiety
aligns the heart
activates faith
positions the believer for peace
👉 Prayer asks.
👉 Thanksgiving agrees with God’s goodness before answers appear.
2️⃣ JESUS PRACTICED THANKSGIVING BEFORE MANIFESTATION
📖 Mark 2:5 (KJV)
“When Jesus saw their faith…”
Faith was visible — not silent.
Thanksgiving is one of faith’s loudest expressions.
📖 John 6:11 (KJV)
“And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed…”
📖 John 6:23 (KJV)
“…after that the Lord had given thanks…”
Jesus gave thanks before multiplication.
Thanksgiving precedes increase.
3️⃣ THANKSGIVING IS POWERFUL WHEN IT BECOMES A LIFESTYLE
📖 Psalm 106:1–3 (KJV)
“O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good…
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.”
Thanksgiving:
preserves righteousness
sustains joy
anchors faith
attracts divine remembrance
It is powerful not as an event—but as a habit of the heart.
4️⃣ THANKSGIVING PRODUCES PEACE AND GOVERNANCE OF THE HEART
📖 Colossians 3:15 (KJV)
“…and be ye thankful.”
Thankfulness:
allows peace to rule
silences murmuring
prevents bitterness
stabilizes emotions
A thankful heart is a well-governed heart.
5️⃣ THANKSGIVING SANCTIFIES AND NEUTRALIZES DISCOMFORT
📖 1 Timothy 4:3–5 (KJV)
“…which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving…
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.”
Thanksgiving:
sanctifies what is received
neutralizes fear, discomfort, and contamination
aligns the physical with the spiritual
👉 Gratitude does not deny reality —
👉 it overrides it with God’s truth.
6️⃣ OUTWARD MANIFESTATIONS OF THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving is not silent.
It expresses itself outwardly.
A. HONOR
📖 Deuteronomy 5:16 (KJV)
“Honour thy father and thy mother…”
Honor is thanksgiving in action.
Gratitude expressed through respect releases longevity and blessing.
B. REMEMBRANCE
📖 Esther 6:1–3 (KJV)
“…what honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this?”
Thanksgiving triggers divine remembrance.
What was forgotten resurfaces.
What was delayed is reconsidered.
👉 Heaven remembers the thankful.
7️⃣ THANKSGIVING IS A WEAPON AGAINST DISEASE & DISCOURAGEMENT
While thanksgiving is not denial of sickness or pain,
it repositions the soul into agreement with life.
A thankful spirit:
resists despair
restores hope
strengthens faith
supports healing
Gratitude aligns the body with peace, and peace supports wholeness.
🔑 FINAL SUMMARY
Thanksgiving is part of prayer
Thanksgiving precedes multiplication
Thanksgiving governs the heart with peace
Thanksgiving sanctifies what is received
Thanksgiving activates remembrance
Thanksgiving must be lived, not only spoken
📖 Psalm 106:1 (KJV)
“O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good.”
CLOSING DECLARATION
“Lord, I choose thanksgiving as my posture.
I give thanks before answers appear.
My heart is guarded by peace.
My life is aligned with Your goodness.
I will not complain — I will give thanks.”

Speech Title: The Social Grotesquery of Ghana — Our Laughter in the Face of Looting
By Frederick Nana Kwayisi Asare

Fellow Ghanaians…
Permit me to speak not as a partisan, but as a patriot,
not in anger, but in agony.

For our nation has become a stage of irony…
a theatre where comedy dances upon corruption,
where those with bellies full of stolen monies laugh the loudest,
and the hungry clap, hoping to catch the crumbs of their laughter.

We are living in what I call a social grotesquery, a moral inversion where right and wrong have exchanged robes,
and the nation applauds its own decline in the name of democracy.

Under the leadership of the New Patriotic Party government
headed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Ghana has not been led into a promised land; we have been led into a labyrinth of lavish corruption.

The watchdogs have become lapdogs.
Institutions meant to protect us are now profit centers for the privileged.
Contracts are inflated like egos, loans are swallowed without a trace, and accountability, that sacred word, is now a ghost haunting the corridors of power.

We were told to believe in The Battle Is the Lord’s; but today, it seems the spoils of that battle have been shared among men.

But I say this with sorrow, not spite, for the greater tragedy is not the greed of the rulers, but the silence of the ruled.

We, the citizens, scroll past scandals. We laugh at theft, we sing along with deceit, and we baptize corruption with tribal loyalty.

We have become comfortable in our discomfort, amused by our abuse, and entertained by our own enslavement.

This, my friends, is the full face of social grotesquery, when the moral compass of a nation spins like a broken fan in harmattan wind.

Look around!
Our hospitals cry for medicine while politicians build cathedrals of excess.
Our youth wander without work while their leaders wander abroad with wallets of the nation’s wealth.
Our schools crumble,
our currency bleeds,
and our people beg in a land flowing with gold, cocoa, and oil.

Ghana has not run out of resources; it has run out of shame.

But I refuse to surrender hope.
Because nations don’t die when they are broke, they die when their people stop believing they can be honest again.

We can change this story.
We can rewrite the narrative.

The cure for grotesquery is not outrage, it is awakening.
We must teach truth again in our schools.
We must reward integrity again in our politics.
We must make corruption shameful again,
and leadership sacred again.

So, when next you hear laughter echoing from the banquet of corruption, remember that it is not joy.
It is decay wearing the mask of humor.

And when they ask, Who’s to laugh?
let your heart reply, “Not I, not anymore.”

For Ghana shall rise again, not by miracles, but by men and women who refuse to be entertained by their own suffering.

Let the laughter of thieves end, and let the conscience of a nation begin to speak once more.

God bless our homeland, Ghana.
And may truth, justice, and conscience once again walk her streets.

Ahmed Suale’s Murder: Case Discontinued — Questions Remain

The Madina District Court has officially discontinued the prosecution of Daniel Owusu Koranteng, the man once accused in the murder of journalist Ahmed Suale, following advice from the Attorney General’s Office.

While the official reason given was “insufficient evidence” — including inconclusive call records and uncorroborated eyewitness sketches — many Ghanaians are left uneasy.

Ahmed Suale was shot and killed in January 2019, yet six years later, justice remains elusive. The discontinuation of this case raises hard questions:

What exactly did the Attorney General find lacking in the evidence?

Why have the real killers still not been found?

How does this decision strengthen or weaken public confidence in justice?

A discontinued case does not mean innocence — it means the system failed to meet its own threshold of proof. And when justice drags this long without closure, it sends a dangerous signal to those who dare to speak truth to power.

Let’s be clear: Justice delayed, if left unanswered, becomes justice denied.
We must insist that the murder of Ahmed Suale does not fade into silence. Ghana owes him, his family, and the spirit of truth a full accounting.

Kotoka International Airport remains one of Ghana’s most striking paradoxes. Named after the man who led the coup that toppled Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, it stands as a daily reminder that we have not yet confronted the full weight of our history. Ghana has achieved many milestones, yet we have hesitated to be bold with Nkrumah’s vision — a self-reliant nation and a united Africa. Until we change this mindset, the airport will continue to symbolize not just our progress, but our unfinished business with destiny.

Kotoka International Airport still stands as a reminder that, as Ghanaians, we have not yet fully confronted or embraced the bold vision Dr. Kwame Nkrumah had for Ghana and Africa. Until we change this, we remain short of the courage he envisioned for our future as a country

If you allow your identity to control your morality, know that you are being misled. Let me be plain: if we in the NDC begin to defend wrong simply because it carries our party’s name, then we are no better than those we criticized yesterday.

Comrades, let’s be careful. Power is not a shield for misconduct. If we cover up rot now, it will eat us from within and destroy the very credibility that brought us back into government. We cannot preach accountability in opposition and practice hypocrisy in power.

The party must remember—our first loyalty is to Ghana, not blind partisanship. If we fail to hold ourselves to higher standards, the people will judge us, and history will not spare us.
