President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured Ghanaians of his administration\u2019s determination to overcome the challenges that confront the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking at \u2018Global Ministers and Wives Conference 2017\u2019 hosted by the Church of Pentecost (CoP) at the Pentecost Convention Centre at Gomoa Fetteh in the Central Region on Friday, the President admonished Christians to allow for a change in attitude to help facilitate the change that his administration proclaims.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have made the challenges ahead of us as a country; the management of our economy, the development of our system of education and of healthcare, the employment that we have to find for our young people.\u00a0 But there are challenges that can and we will overcome, I have no doubt about that. Provided that at all time the believers that we have as Christians, believers in one God and in the mission of Jesus Christ on earth infuses what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is for that reason that there continues to be my favourite passage of scripture \u2013 \u2018not everyone that says Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of Heaven expect he that does the will of my father which is in heaven.\u2019 What Christ meant is that it isn\u2019t just the invocation of his name but the way we live and act that points your way to salvation and to meet with God,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Expectation<\/strong><\/p>\n

On his ministerial appointments, the president said he was expecting Parliament to as a matter of urgency approve his nominees to help boost development in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m expecting that the House will act expeditiously so that the government can begin to deliver on the promises and commitments we have made to the Ghanaian people.<\/p>\n

He also used the opportunity to thank the Church of Pentecost for supporting him during the 2016 electioneering campaign.<\/p>\n
