The Asokwa Area Head of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Ekow Badu-Woode has chastised Men of God who have become election prophets and advised them to desist from putting fear into the people. Apostle Badu-Woode described such prophets as charlatans, reminding them that Ghana is a democratic state and not theocratic one.
He made the statement when the Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur joined hundreds of worshipers at the Pentecost International Worship Centre at Asokwa in the Ashanti Region
Apostle Ekow Badu- Wood who is the Asokwa Area Head of the Church of Pentecost described the Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur as a God fearing, humble and a forthright person. And that he brings his faith as a peacemaker into his practice as a politician. He said Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur is the type of leader that Ghana needs.
He described the Vice President as someone who through humility has not separated his office from God. “That is the reason President Mahama chose him as his running mate again”, he said.
In his sermon, Apostle Badu-Wood said we are now in democratic dispensation, so those calling themselves prophetic pastors should allow state institutions to work and not hijack democracy.
He said the will and choice of God for a leader will manifest through the pattern of voting and not from pastors, especially those always saying God has revealed to them who would lead Ghana. He also prayed for the government and the people of Ghana for a peaceful election.
He further stated pastors should stop hijacking democracy by saying God has revealed to them. He added that they should allow the Lord to speak through the ballot. Adding that ballot box voting is a divine way that God appoints his leaders because “democracy is of God”.
He called on pastors and men of God to keep their prophecies and avoid dubious predictions. He said such prophecies put fear in the people. Rev Wood said any calling without listening leads to disaster.
On his part the Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur thanked the church for the reception. He said it only God who directs us to work for his ultimate good.
Vice President Amissah-Arthur gave thanks to God for how far he has brought the country and kept it intact. He was grateful to God for his life.

i will be disappointed in Apostle wood if he really said that Amissah-Arthur is the type of leader that Ghana needs. Why? is he endorsing someone who was on stage last month preaching that he will return double insult to those who will insult him? Please Apostle, you are not one of these "Apostles" so watch your tongue. I am trying to believe that something has been added to what he said, otherwise Apostle wood should apologise to cop. As an Executive member of our church, you dont have to do that. Chairman Onyinah should call him to order.
Ekow Badu Wood Onyame betua woka if you call this man as peaceful. Somebody who preaches division by asking tribes to vote for their own as a man of peace? Your God will punish you,even for not seeing that the man is gay something detestable to God. Eeeiii some men of God in Ghana make Christianity a joke, may God forgive those who use his name to lie, for they don't know how powerful that name is so use it to do their human form business. Today's Ghana asofo are big time politicians prophesying where there is no prophecy,doing their own thing for the politicians to give them money they've stolen from the people such so called apostles will be punished by God. Atoro Adiifuo that the Bible said most are in Ghana and I can't wait for the judgement day fire to consume them. They are evil and doing the work of Satan,even they support gay
AM SORRY BUT WITH HIS WORDS HE HAS NOT PROVEN HIMSELF THAT KIND OF A PEACEMAKER.
