His uplifting moment was captured in a TikTok video posted on Monday, December 10, 2025, where Bonsu Dennis Frimpong sang along to the Nigerian gospel song “Not by Might” by Moses Bliss.
His face lit up with unfiltered gratitude, his smile carrying the weight of long nights, unanswered questions, and quiet prayers finally rewarded.
Guy urges WASSCE colleagues to join Alpha-Hour
In his short but heartfelt message, Dennis expressed deep appreciation to God for guiding him through his academic journey.
The young man, who is known among friends for his devotion, used the moment not only to celebrate but also to uplift others.
With gentle encouragement, he urged fellow SHS graduates who struggled to secure the grades they hoped for to keep believing, praying, and pushing forward.
Adding a personal touch, Dennis recommended Alpha Hour, the popular online prayer service led by Pastor Elvis Agyemang, to students seeking strength and direction.
For him, Alpha Hour has been a spiritual home, one he hinted had played a role in nurturing his resilience.
"I want to take this opportunity to tell my dear 2025 WASSCE Candidates who couldn’t get their expected grades or who have a withheld paper to keep calm and, if possible, rewrite it because God’s time is the best. I waited for one year and saw what God has done. Pray( Alpha hour)."
