Ghanaians have been urged to intensify their prayer life, draw more closely to God, and also give him praise irrespective of the challeng­es they may face this new year.

In his special New Year's mes­sage to Ghanaians, the General Overseer of the Global Trans Con­tinental Evangelistic Association (TRANSCEA), Kwame Opoku- Asuah, said developing an inten­sified and a consistent prayer, life was important as it helped build the spiritual life of Ghanaians.

The message was on the theme: 'Double Consecration and Cele­bration for Multiple Manifestation,' and was anchored on the scriptures (Judges 1:1-2 and Psalm 100:4).

Pastor Opoku-Asuah further noted that offering praises to God in the midst of one's chal­lenges was vital as it provided a breakthrough for individuals to help them achieve their goals and aspirations.
