John Dramani Mahama has called on the Ghanaian clergy to avail themselves for God to use them to rescue the nation through him.
He says just as Joseph was used in the Bible to rescue Egypt in the time of famine, it is same he avails himself to be used by God to rescue the nation with the support and guidance of the men of God.
“We are at a time of crisis in our nation, as described in the book of Genesis. Genesis 47:15, when “money had failed”, and all hope seemed lost, it took Joseph, the servant of God, to rescue Egypt and his family from the famine.
“This biblical story resonates deeply with our current reality. We live in a time of great uncertainty, but the church remains the world’s light—a city on a hill that cannot be hidden,” he said at his encounter with the clergy in Accra Tuesday, October 01, 2024.
He urged the men of God to avail themselves to be used as vessels to provide the guidance needed by leadership to rescue Ghana out of the mess the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government has put the nation into.
“You, as the spiritual leaders of this land, are prophets who must provide the
guidance to lead Ghana out of this crisis and preserve our peace, prosperity,
and progress. My dear fathers and mothers in the Lord, your wisdom and dedication to truth are what Ghana desperately needs right now.
Citing the leaders of the church in Ephesus as stated in the Bible, John Mahama said Ghana need spiritual leaders whose righteousness is evidence for all.
“In these difficult times, we need spiritual leaders committed to righteousness. Like the leaders of the church of Ephesus in Revelation 2:2, who could not tolerate evil and exposed false apostles, you are called to stand against deception and lead the people on the right path.
“As Paul reminds us in Galatians 6:10: “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the
household of faith,” he stated.
He said further “as a son of the Church” that he presents himself “in humility, seeking your intercession and counsel as I lead my party in our mission to rescue our nation from nearly eight years of leadership failure. Hosea 12:13 tells us that by a prophet, the Lord led Israel out of oppression in Egypt and by a prophet, he was preserved.”
