THE flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has gone to the Royalhouse Chapel to pray for success and peaceful elections.
Every year, the church sets aside the first 14 days of January to fast and pray for the peace and prosperity of the nation, among others, and this year’s programme, dubbed “Week of the Altar”, was on the theme, “Say it Again and Again, It is Well”.
Nana Akufo-Addo requested for two prayers, one for the nation and the other for God to grant him wisdom, knowledge and understanding in order to lead the country successfully.
He thanked the church for setting aside days to pray for the peace and prosperity of the nation.
He said he found God’s favour when he was elected the flag bearer of the NPP a few weeks ago and he hoped and prayed that the same favour would lead him to be elected as the next president of the nation.
The General Overseer of the church, Reverend Sam Korankye Ankrah, thanked Nana Akufo-Addo for coming to the church to join his faith with that of the church and said Ghana was an oasis of peace.
“We have run three elections peacefully and successfully and this one will also be the same,” he added.
He said the good fortunes of this nation, the oil discovery, among other wealth, began at Royalhouse as a result of constant prayers to God for the elimination of poverty from this nation.
Rev Ankrah prayed for peace during the election so that whoever had been ordained by God to lead the nation would be chosen.
Preaching the sermon, Rev Ankrah said those who trusted in the Lord would be like fortresses and they would be preserved.
He said those wicked people who were planning evil that Ghana would be like Kenya or other troubled countries in Africa would not find a place in this nation because God would preserve the country.
He prayed that God should give us a man of His heart as the next President of this dear nation, somebody who would be righteous in his ways and would be able to take the nation to the next level of prosperity.
