By President of Worldwide Miracle Outreach, Reverend Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, is urging Ghanaians to prioritize the nation’s interest in the upcoming December 7 election.
“We must learn to put Ghana first and not our political parties. The forthcoming election is going to be a test on our level of tolerance and maturity in our democratic process.”
“Democracy and election must not be war because kings, priests and political leaders are enthroned by God and not by the ballot box. Patriotism is required of every Ghanaian to move this nation forward. Let us vote wisely,” he stressed.
Dr. Tetteh made these remarks during a media briefing on his 31-day National Prayer and Healing Rally, organized from May 1 to May 30, 2024.
The prayer rally, dubbed “This Nonsense Must Stop,” is a non-denominational event aimed at bringing together religious leaders and worshippers to pray for Ghana.
Dr. Tetteh stated that the purpose of the 31-day prayer rally was to seek God’s intervention in the face of “challenges and nonsense” in the country.
He emphasized that the country’s issues could not be resolved solely through politics or economic structures, but rather through divine intervention.
“There is no gain saying that our politics, our economy and our educational systems, our professional and religious institutions are in crisis. This is the reason why we must pray in these crucial times. A prayerless nation is a powerless nation,” he added.
Dr. Tetteh condemned the prevalent culture of insults dominating the country’s airwaves, describing it as unacceptable for political platforms to be marred by insults, provocations, and character assassination.
He also called upon political, traditional, and religious leaders to speak out and take action against societal wrongdoings.
Dr. Tetteh pointed out that the silence of leaders, particularly religious leaders, on national issues such as LGBTQ rights and illegal mining, was emboldening perpetrators to continue their activities without facing consequences.
“It is very sad that our political leaders are being distracted and playing politics with these issues, whereas our religious and traditional leaders looked unconcerned.”
“Posterity will judge us if we don’t address this and stand up to do what is right for our nation. We must stand together in a massive united front to confront this canker,” he stressed.
