Accra, April 28, GNA – The Living Yahweh 7Th Day Sabbath Assemblies has honoured the great Ghanaian legendary highlife musician, Pozo Hayes, for his indelible mark on Ghana’s cultural landscape.
He received a Kente cloth, a citation and an undisclosed cash from the Founder and the Leader of the church, Apostle Dr Philemon Okoh Agyemang.
The citation of Pozo Hayes whose real name is Nana Boakye Ofori Atta, reads, “Through your life and music, you have helped secure the genre’s legacy as a symbol of unity, identity, and national pride, leaving behind an indelible mark on Ghana’s cultural landscape.”
It continued, “Despite being virtually grounded by polio at age three, you were a cheerful child and did not allow the handicap to undermine your happiness. You have indeed distinguished yourself and you are an inspiration to the upcoming generation.
“His Eminence Apostle Dr. Philemon Okoh Agyemang, the Executive Board, and Management of Living Yahweh 7th Day Sabbath Assemblies bestow on you this special honour and award for your distinguished music career and ability to excel in life despite your handicap. Ayekoo! You have really served Elohim Yahweh and country.”
The honour was bestowed on Pozo Hayes when the church ended its 2026 Passover Feast and Charity Show at Odorgonnor High School at Anyaa in Accra.
The charity show is held twice by the church every year and tied to its Passover Feast and Atonement Day to donate food and aiding items to institutions and the vulnerable in society.
This year’s Passover Feast and Charity Show benefitted over 5,432 applicants who received various items estimated at GHc1,451,413.00.
They included 5,500 pieces of cloths, 1,200 pieces of tubers of yams, 2000 packs of toilet rolls, and 70 wheelchairs, while 500 bags of rice, 700 bags of maize, 500 crates of eggs, and 800 birds (brollers), all from the church’s farms across the country.
Aside the donations the church also fed about 2,000 less privileged, especially foreigners hawking on the streets of Accra.
Apostle Philemon Okoh Agyemang, the Founder and Leader of the Living Yahweh 7Th Day Sabbath Assemblies speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency called on the government to create incentive packages to encourage the youth into agriculture.
He said this should go with the provision of modern agricultural machinery, which would help boost food production, reduce reliance on foreign supply of food items while creating job opportunities.
He said the district assemblies should be made to create avenues for the youth to get some financial support to enable them to venture into agriculture while the government liaise with the chiefs to release lands for farming purposes instead of estate development.
He suggested the creation of agricultural units in the security services to engage the teeming youth who are interested in wearing the service uniforms to get job opportunities for farming.
“This would make the youth feel proud in the uniform while working as a farmer in the service,” he stressed.
Apostle Okoh Agyemang appealed to Churches to come together to show such love to the less privileged as stated in the Bible, quoting James 1:27.
It states, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
He said the church’s Passover Feast initiative represented one of their core heartbeats and their calling – a profound expression of compassion, service, and our shared commitment to humanity.
