INTERCEDE FOR LEADERSHIP OF THE NATION — PREZ (SPREAD)

President John Evans Attah Mills has entreated Christians to be steadfast in their intercession for the leadership of the country so that the actions and inaction of government will be a reflection of the will of God.
He said God could not be left out in the quest for national development, since He gives the power to become prosperous.
President Mills said the fear of God must be the standard for every government, adding that without that, there could be no meaningful development.
He said this when he gave an address at an inter-denominational church service held yesterday at the Ho Jubilee Park to climax his three-day visit to the Volta Region.
The prayers of Ghanaians, he said, had made the nation peaceful for the past years, adding that God, who had been the help of the nation in times past, must continue to be the hope and anchor for the years to come.
“It is only when we bank our hopes on God and continue to intercede for this nation and its leaders for them to do what God pleases, can we achieve what we all crave for,” he stressed.
Preaching the sermon, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian (E.P.) Church, Rt. Rev. Francis Amenu, said every nation and its leaders had challenges that they had to contend with.
He said there was the need therefore to remember that it was in remaining focused and resolute that success could be achieved.
He entreated the President to remain focused and committed to the promises made to Ghanaians even in the face of stiff opposition.
Rev. Amenu stressed the need for Ghanaians to be united despite the diversity in order to harness a common force towards the achievement of the national cause.
He also called on the clergy to provide the needed support and spiritual guidance that would push the nation forward rather than resorting to parochialism and acts that did not work in the national interest.
He called on the government to support the genuine effort of churches in development and warned against the culture of seeking ad-hoc solutions to the problems that confronted the nation.
Prayers were said for the prosperity of the nation, against road accidents and armed robbery and against the drug menace.
