Accra, April 23, GNA - The Harvest Praise 2011, a Good Friday

musical ministration in Accra, has ignited a gospel musical alliance betwee= n

Ghana and South Africa, a disposition to strengthen Christian bilateral

engagement between the two nations. The stage was set by the Evergreen Harvest Gospel Choir that sung

harmonious divinely inspired songs, which charged the audience unto the

dancing floor, to celebrate the Good Friday chorography. The youthful audience engaged in power, physic and gymnastic dancing

and took control of the gangway and frontage of the platform, whilst the

adults balanced the divinely charged ambiance with slow pace dancing and

movements. Harvest Praise, the most patronized gospel show during Easter, was

organized by Harvest International Ministries, on the theme: 93Amazing

Grace" to offer gospel musicians an opportunity to fulfil the Great

Commission - evangelize through gospel music. The shouts, enthusiasm and gesticulation of either cloths or

handkerchiefs, ushered anointed South African gospel legend, Reverend

Benjamin Dube, unto the stage, and he was energized to respond quickly

with powerful soul inspiring songs. Backed by a four-member group, Rev Dube hypnotized the large

audience with heavy South African accentuated songs including

"Ngiyakuthanda Moy," 93Ongcwele," 93Thum," 93Imvuselelo Kimi Nko= si". Simply put heaven came down as the South African group increased the

tempo of the show with divinely inspired and cross-over hit songs; 93When

I Think About Jesus and=A0Holy Spirit". Encouraged by the unceasing applause and dancing, Rev Dube

dramatically changed the cadence of the show with animated sounds,

calculated movement and gestures to the admiration of the audience. The Ghanaian gospel sensation, Cecilia Marfo bemused the charged

gospel lovers and demonstrated to the South African Gospel team that

Ghanaians too can sing with power and emotions as she perform local

songs including; 93Wokora Woye Odehye," 93Yesu Adi Nkunim," and

"Afunumuba". The unyielding good old Daughters of Glorious Jesus with their unique

powerful voices were not left out of the show as they provided the

balancing tempo with soothing worship songs. Described as epitome of inspiration, excellence and professionalism in

the gospel music industry, Daughters of Glorious Jesus re-enacted their

songs including 93Anwannwa Din," 93Mebo Yesu Din Daa," 93Mesom

Awurade Daa," 93Daughters Praise 1," and 93Trimude". Rev. Fitzgerald Odonkor, Head Pastor of Harvest Chapel International,

called on Ghanaians and Christians in particular to forgive those who

sinned against them to give meaning to Easter that marked the suffering and

death of Jesus Christ. He explained that the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified,

signified reconciliation, power and amazing grace. Rev. Fitzgerald Odonkor asked Christians to be humble to enable them

to receive blessings from God, who loves them. He advised that 93Parents must reconcile with their children, friends with

friends, neighbours with neighbours to give meaning to Easter. "As the world and all its systems continue to fail humankind and as o= ur

earth is assailed by all manner of calamities from devastating earthquakes,

wars and environmental catastrophes, it is time to reach out for grace,

amazing grace of God that will never fail". 22 April 11
