President John Dramani Mahama has expressed his desire for God to use him as an instrument to change the fortunes of the country during his visit to Cedar Mountain Chapel to Fellowship the congregation
“The purpose is to serve my fellow Ghanaians and make sure that we’re able to turn the fortunes of this country around and make everybody’s life better” he stated.
President Mahama made this heartfelt remark on Sunday(February 2,2025) when he joined the congregation for the First Service at the Cedar Mountain Chapel of Assemblies of God in East Legon
The President stated that just as the richest countries like the United States of America believe in prayer and they set aside a day for national thanksgiving and prayer, Ghana even needs more prayers.
He therefore reiterated his resolve to form a committee to start planning for the National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving.
“I would pray as a nation that God should continue to have his hand on Ghana and continue to favour us so that the peace and safety that we enjoy will stay and that he will prosper us with the natural resources and bountiful blessings he’s giving us” he observed.
On his part,the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God church,Reverend Stephen Yenusom Wengam encouraged believers to love prayer and to understand that “prayer changes the unchangeable and that nothing can withstand the power, the presence and the authority of prayer.”
He warned Christians against being part-time believers stressing that “Daniel was not a part-time Christian. He was a full-time, dedicated, committed, available, consistent Christian.”
He said Christians must be blameless and must pray without living in sin so that their prayers become effective.
He said the Assemblies of God community both in Ghana and abroad takes pride in having four presidents, including President Mahama, whom he described as the church’s “first Fruit President.”
