The Founder and President of the Worldwide Miracle Outreach (WMO), Rev. Dr Lawrence Tetteh, has called on Ghanaians to be circumspect in their utterances during the run-up to the December general election.

He again called on all stakeholders to recognise the need to have a collective responsibility to make the country a beacon of hope in the sub-region.

Dr Tetteh in an interview said he believed every Ghanaian had a lot to be thankful to God for and called on all to be ambassadors of peace.

“We owe Ghana a responsibility to make it better than how we met it and every stakeholder must be fair and firm in doing so”, he added.

Dr Tetteh indicated that it would be sad for the electorate to lose their lives because of a day’s elections, noting that there was more to gain as Ghanaians if we promoted peace.

For that reason, he urged all religious and political leaders, as well as stakeholders not to lose sight of what the country would lose in case of violent elections.

“Having travel across the African continent and the world, I see Ghana as a safe haven which we must not destroy”, he said.

He used the occasion to also admonish Ghanaians to turn to God in prayers because there was ultimate power in prayers and that “a prayerless nation is a powerless nation and a prayerless leader is a powerless leader”.

Quoting Chronicle 4: 17 from the Holy Bible, Dr Tetteh observed that people who were called by the name of God needed to be humble, pray, seek the face of God and turn from their wicked ways so they could hear from Heaven to heal the lands.

In that light, he announced that the WMC was organising a crusade slated for November 1 to November 3, 2012 at the International Trade Fair Centre in Accra to pray for the healing of Ghanaians and the country.

The crusade is expected to be attended by world famous Christian leaders including Dr Richard Robert of the Oral Roberts Ministry in the United States of America and Rev. Paul Naughton from Benny Hinn Ministries in the United Kingdom.
