Head Pastor of the Church of Pentecost at Odorkor in the Greater Accra Region is calling on the church authorities of various branches to expel church members who do not vote in the December 7 general elections.
Describing those who have refused to vote as a “good for nothing” citizens, Apostle Badu cautioned church members across the country to take the December polls more serious.
“If you don’t vote, it means you have something wrong with your head. As a church member and Christian it is mandated for you to vote. If you don’t then it means we take you off as a church member. I want everyone to take this election as more serious than ever...,” he declared.
Apostle Badu in an interview with Adom News during the church Peace campaign service dubbed ‘Agent of Peace’ said, people who do not vote are 'enemies of progress' and must not be entertained in their respective churches and in the country as whole.
“As a pastor and church member, your inability to vote means you are unserious and unpatriotic. If you don’t vote you are not helping the nation. Every genuine pastor makes sure to vote but does not go ahead to declare their political stands to the congregation” he stated.
Meanwhile, the head pastor of the Palace Chapel Grace Temple at Spintex in Accra, Prophet Nana Adepa believes voting is not biblical hence must not be imposed on Christians.
“The role of Christians ahead of the 2016 polls is to watch and pray to prevail before, during and after the elections but not to be forced or coerced" he added.

If Christians have not SAT ON THE FENCE all these while, there would not have been this level of EVIL in society. LET EVERY GENUINE CHRISTIAN SPEAK OUT.
There are thinks God do and there are things God has asked or giving to men to do. If wise men don't go to make laws 'FOOOO@@@LS' will make laws to bind the wise. NOBODY SHOULD BLAME GOD THEN. GOD HAS GIVING THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. BACK YOUR DECISIONS WITH PRAYERS. DON'T SIT ON THE FENCE AND PRAY ONLY. GOD IS WATCHING.
Interesting peace.. As Christians we should not forget our name denotes we are followers of Christ. What was Jesus altitude towards political climate. What about his immediate followers(1st century Christians). It is clear they never got themselves involved. Why then should modern day christian. Or has context of the bible changed?
