Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has praised President John Evans Atta for involving God in his governance style, saying God will not fail the nation.
He said the Christian community outside Ghana was highly delighted about the President’s closeness to God, and prayed that all leaders, especially in Africa, would emulate his example.
Pastor Adeboye, who leads one of the largest churches in Africa, said this when he called on President Mills at the Castle yesterday to officially inform him about his church’s crusade in Accra today.
He also commended President Mills for the progress he has led the country to make in his two years in office, and prayed for God’s continued guidance to the government.
“We assure you of our support and prayers,” said Pastor Adeboye, who was accompanied to the Castle by high ranking Ghanaian clergymen including Archbishop Duncan Williams, head of the Action Chapel International and Bishop Charles Agyin-Asare, head of Word Miracle Church International.
Headquartered in Nigeria, the prominent clergyman noted that the church was currently present in 140 nations across the globe, and expressed optimism that many lives would be won for Christ during he crusade in Accra.
Receiving the delegation, President Mills commended Pastor Adeboye for allowing himself to be used by God to spread the gospel.
Reiterating his call for a strong partnership between government and the church, he said the religious community has a crucial role to play in the national development.
Responding to the pastor’s commendation, President Mills said it was important for the nation’s spiritual foundation to be strong so that God would take charge of the nation’s affairs.
He wished them a successful conference, saying “I know God will show his majesty” at the crusade.
