The Oil Dome at Royal House Chapel in Accra was transformed into a sanctuary of praise, prayer, and powerful testimonies on Thursday, May 1, as thousands gathered for the 2025 edition of the Family Consecration Service, organised by Channel One TV and Citi FM.
From as early as 6 a.m., families, couples, individuals, and entire church groups streamed into the Dome, drawn by a common desire—to seek divine direction, healing, and strength for their homes and their year ahead. What followed was six hours of deep worship, fervent intercession, and emotional encounters with God, leaving many overwhelmed by the experience.
“Spiritually Transformative”
Described by many as “spiritually transformative”, the service was led by Rev. Stephen Yenusom Wengam, General Superintendent of Assemblies of God Ghana, and supported by a team of seasoned ministers, including Rev. Fred Mac-Davies, Rev. Mawuli Tsikata, Rev. Foster Mawuli Benson, Rev. Nelson Awintia, and Rev. Michael Noagbewonu.
Special prayers were lifted for marriages, health, financial breakthrough, national peace, and reconciliation within families. For many, it was more than just a religious event—it was a divine appointment.
“I’ve attended this service for years, and every time, something in my life changes for the better,” said one participant. “I owe my marriage and even the birth of my daughter to breakthroughs that began here. I believe this should be held twice a year.”
Another attendee shared, “This service was very fulfilling. Citi FM and Channel One TV have done so well. We need this more often in our nation.”
A young man in attendance described it as “amazing,” saying, “I had the chance to pour my heart out to God on matters I’ve struggled with silently for years. I can’t wait for the next one.”
Marriages Rededicated to God
One of the most moving moments of the day was the vow renewal ceremony for married couples, as husbands and wives held hands, looked into each other’s eyes, and reaffirmed their commitment before God and the congregation. The atmosphere was charged with emotion—some wiped tears as they renewed promises to love, honour, and cherish one another.
Leading the ceremony, Rev. Wengam reminded couples of the sacredness of marriage:
“Marriage is not just a union of two people; it is the bedrock of society. By rededicating your unions, you are recommitting to being examples of love and unity.”
The vow renewal became a symbolic act of healing and unity for many families, offering hope in a time when the institution of marriage faces growing challenges.
Launching Family Month with Purpose
The Family Consecration Service also marked the official launch of Family Month—a full month of programming by Channel One TV and Citi FM focused on promoting strong family values grounded in love, faith, and unity.
For years, the Family Consecration Service has remained a spiritual staple on the Christian calendar in Ghana, and judging by this year’s turnout and testimonies, its significance continues to grow.
In a nation facing economic uncertainty, social pressure, and moral challenges, the 2025 Family Consecration Service offered something timeless and deeply needed—faith, hope, and the reaffirmation that strong families remain the foundation of a strong society.
As one participant put it simply, “What happened today was not just an event—it was a reminder of what matters most.”
