GHANAIANS have been advised to accept anyone who will be declared winner in the polls held yesterday.
They have also been discouraged to avoid anything that would plunge the country into civil war or bloodshed after the elections.
Accordingly, the “chosen president” has been advised not to raise his or her party’s flag but the flag of Ghana and become a leader for all.
“Any chosen president that would honour his party above Ghana, the motherland, could promote acrimony that shall divide the country.”
The founder and Presiding Missionary of the Seventh Day Congregation of Theocracy (SDCT), Apostle Kadmiel H. Agbalenyoh, gave the advice at an intercessory prayer for the 2012 elections in Accra.
The intercession prayer was on the theme: “May God Choose our President.” It brought together members of the church and some parliamentary candidates to pray and seek the face of God to choose a leader for the nation.
Preaching on the theme for the intercession, Apostle Agbalenyoh said those that the citizens would vote into power should consider their positions as divine intervention from God and must work diligently, truthfully and with loyalty for the growth and development of the nation.
He said the people could also help by asking God in prayers to provide faithful parliamentarians and a president who would unite all parties under the laws of God and the Constitution of the country.
Apostle Agbalenyoh observed that although Ghanaians had heard so many promises and policy statements from the various political parties and their aspirants, it was imperative that they prayed fervently for God to appoint good leaders with “good hearts.”
He advised the citizens to learn from the recent American elections and refrain from abusive language and attack on personalities to promote national peace and unity.
