This venue is noted in history as the site for Ghana's Annual Independence Day, hosting numerous parades and all major national public gatherings and national festivals. In addition to populating the renowned Independence Square to its maximum capacity, overflow venues were inevitable, due to the press of the highly expectant crowd of attendees at the event. The 2 designated overflow venues, including the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium and the grounds of the Parliament House, Accra Ghana, were also packed to maximum capacity; over 200,000 people in all partaking of the glories of that memorable crusade.
The Night of Bliss program in Ghana, the first of its kind ever held in the nation by the Man of God, Rev. Dr. Chris Oyakhilome D.Sc., D.D.; witnessed an unprecedented keenness, as thousands of eagerly expectant attendees gathered in the host city Accra; having journeyed from all the provinces of the nation. program was billed to commence at 6pm on the 5th of February 2016. However, by the early hours of the set date, from about 3am in the morning, teeming crowds thronged the venue, quickly occupying the seats in large sections of the arena; and by dawn, already packing out the venue; several hours before the meeting was scheduled to begin.
In exhilarating praise to a miracle working God, from whom they sought a divine encounter, the thousands of people in attendance joined the beautifully adorned mass choir; as the latter rendered song after song, from the calves of their lips and their hearts filled with evident joy, in gratitude to God for the event. Indeed the contagious joy reeling through the exuberant crowd, evidently corroborated the scripture that says: ‘…in thy presence is fullness of joy…’.
