Rev Richard Whitcomb, Senior Pastor of Agape House New Testament Church
Senior Pastor of Agape House New Testament Church, Rev Richard Whitcomb, has stated that Ghana’s greatest challenge is not political leadership but the behaviour and moral conduct of its citizens, particularly Christians.
Delivering a sermon during church service June 21, 2025, Rev Whitcomb urged Ghanaians to shift their focus from blaming political leaders to seeking personal and spiritual transformation.
“The change we need in Ghana will not take place with a change in government. The change we need will take place with a change in us. The problem is not the people in Jubilee House, it’s the people in God’s house,” he stated.
The renowned preacher, in a message captured in a report by 3news.com on June 21,2025, clarified that his statements were not politically motivated.
He stressed that he holds no affiliations with any political party.
“Please hear me out. I’m not NDC or NPP. I’m not CPP or any other PP. I’m priestly, not political. I’m not into man’s rule, I’m into God’s rule,” he indicated.
Rev Whitcomb also took a strong stance against hypocrisy among Christians and urged believers to demonstrate honesty and integrity in their everyday lives and business dealings.
“Don’t cry about corruption in government when you run your business corruptly. Don’t bemoan bribery in society when you pay and accept bribes in your business,” he cautioned.
He called for a national spiritual awakening, adding that true transformation in Ghana must begin with the church and the personal lives of believers who genuinely live out God’s word.
