The celebration of this final Sunday of 2024 was filled with hope and anticipation for a brighter year ahead.

During an interview with GhanaWeb TV on December 29, 2024, many worshippers shared their deep appreciation for God’s faithfulness over the year and spoke of their optimism for the new year. One of the worshippers, the CEO of Desirable Palace, expressed her gratitude for the growth of her business in 2024. She attributed the success to God’s grace and explained how her business had improved significantly. “This year has been truly wonderful for my business, and I know it’s all due to God’s grace.

She was filled with hope for 2025, expecting her business to continue growing and improving. “I’m really happy, and you can see it in my excitement. I am looking forward to an even better year ahead. Glory to God for everything,” she added.

Others reflected on the year’s ups and downs, acknowledging the difficulties they had faced but focusing on their unwavering faith in God. “It has been a year full of challenges, but also moments of joy and excitement. I am most grateful that, as the Bible says, nothing can separate us from the love of God,” one individual remarked. “Despite the hardships, I am hopeful for a glorious 2025. I believe that the experiences of this year will only make us stronger, and by God’s grace, we will continue to move forward.”

For many, the final Sunday of the year was not just about reflecting on what had passed, but also about looking ahead to the future with hope and faith. Several Christians shared their prayers for prosperity, health, and divine favor in the year to come. “2024 has been a wonderful year, and we are praying for even greater things in 2025—prosperity, long life, and blessings for our families and loved ones,” one worshipper expressed. The sentiment was also echoed by others, who offered prayers for good health and divine favor in the new year, sending their best wishes to their families, pastors, and friends.

Church leaders also shared their reflections on the blessings the congregation had experienced throughout the year. Many were confident that 2025 would be a year of continued growth and prosperity. “As a church, we are in celebration, and we believe that 2025 is going to be a good year,” said one church leader. “Despite the challenges that may arise, we know that God is in control of everything. We trust that 2025 will be a year of praise, fulfillment, and blessings. God has promised to establish us, and we are confident that He will guide us to higher ground,” the leader added, speaking with strong faith and optimism.

Others, too, reflected on the blessings of 2024, even amid its trials. “It has been a great year. Yes, we faced many storms, but God has been faithful through it all,” said one worshipper. “I believe 2025 will be even better. God will do amazing things in our lives, and our dreams will come true. Whatever we have set our hearts to do, God will make it happen. I am confident that 2025 will be a prosperous and blessed year for all of us.”
