The Head Pastor of The City of Faith Assemblies of God, Rev. Patrice K. Adjei has expressed deep concern over what he described as a challenge of Ghana’s development, urging both leaders and citizens to be loyal as a critical step toward national progress.

Speaking on the issue of Ghana’s development challenges with GPCC NEWS, the Reverend Minister identified truthfulness and honesty as key catalysts for sustainable change. According to him, Ghana’s struggle in its development will minimize when we are truthful. We must be bond to speak the truth and clearly distinguish between what is right and wrong.

“We must hold the bull by the horn and confront the truth,” he said. “Until we acknowledge that wrong is wrong and right is right, our development will be slow.”

Open Dialogue

He lamented that society often fails to address basic truth, while emphasizing on open dialogue he cautioned against rejecting basic truth simply because it often other parties.   

The Reverend Minister continued that even when the manner of communication is critical, the truth must always be addressed if it has the potency to cause positive change. He noted that individuals can be guided on better communication without disregarding the validity of their message.

Highlighting the role of young people in nation building, Rev. Adjei cautioned against sidelining youth because of perceived cultural world views of some people. He cited the biblical account of David and Goliath, noting that David was initially discouraged because of his age, yet he ultimately delivered Israel.

“If solution oriented youths are not allowed to speak and act, simply because their age , then we would have a serious setback in our national development,” he said. “David was not invited to fight Goliath, and even his own brother discouraged him, yet he was the one who solved the problem.”

Quoting scripture, he reminded listeners that “the Bible says we shall know the truth, and the truth shall set us free,” emphasizing that freedom and progress are rooted in accepting and acting on truth, not avoiding it.

On the role of government, the Head Pastor urged national leaders to harness the truths that have been identified regarding Ghana’s challenges and take decisive action. He noted that Africa’s development struggles are well known and cannot be resolved through denial or excessive bureaucracy.

“If we continue to shy away from confronting the truth and hide behind bureaucracies, we will not make progress,” he said. “What matters is whether what we are addressing will help our nation.”

He called for collective responsibility, urging all stakeholders—government, religious leaders, youth, and citizens—to work together with honesty and commitment toward national transformation.

“All of us want to see Ghana progress and develop,” he concluded. “And that can only happen when we accept the truth, work on the truth, and put our hands-on deck to ensure real change.”
