Accra, Dec. 1, GNA – The Reverend Dr Lawrence Tetteh, President of the Worldwide Miracle Outreach, and Bishop E. O. Ansah, presiding bishop of the Eternal Life Evangelistic Church, have called for calm and unity as Ghana heads for the polls on December 7.
Speaking from the United Kingdom, the ministers of the Gospel, in a joint video message, urged all citizens to prioritise peace and respect for the rule of law during the electoral process.
They emphasised the importance of safeguarding the nation’s stability.
They also encouraged all eligible citizens to exercise their franchise with peace and integrity to advance Ghana’s democratic governance.
Dr Tetteh said: “We have not many Ghana; we have only one Ghana, which we must all do our utmost to preserve for our common advancement.”
He encouraged citizens, especially the youth and residents of hotspot communities to reject violence and embrace peace, which he said, was paramount to Ghana’s sustainable development.
Referencing 2 Chronicles 7:14, Dr Tetteh highlighted the role of humility and prayer in fostering healing and unity after the declaration of results.
He prayed for divine guidance over the election, asking for God’s will to prevail.
“We bring all the parties before God—NPP, NDC, CPP, and all others. May the will of God be done,” he declared.
He urged the two major political parties to seek God’s direction in their desires to lead the nation and prioritise the nation’s wellbeing above every other interest.
He expressed faith that Ghana would be blessed with a leader chosen without dispute, thus fostering unity and progress.
Bishop Ansah emphasised the call for peace and stability, urging all Ghanaians to accept the election results without any manipulation or conflict.
“Let us look to God as the one who selects for the nation a president,” he said, urging all stakeholders to ensure fairness and integrity in the electoral process.
Bishop Ansah prayed against any plots to incite violence, declaring that such plans would backfire against those who would initiate them.
“The pit digger will fall into it. The trap setter will be caught by their own trap,” he proclaimed.
He called on believers to unite in their faith towards moving Ghana forward, and expressed confidence that peace would prevail at the end of the day.
Meanwhile, churches across the nation have been praying for peace and stability to prevail for Ghana to maintain its credential as an oasis of peace in the sub-region.
At The Maker’s House Chapel International, Dr Michael Boadi Nyamekye, Chairman of TMHCI, led congregants to pray for the stakeholders in the electoral process to demonstrate patriotism, integrity and respect for the rule of law.
He urged citizens to eschew and voter apathy and violence as required of responsible citizens.
