PRESIDENT MAHAMA DECLARES THREE DAYS OF FASTING AND PRAYERS FOR CONTINUOUS PEACE AND STABILITY IN GHANA
His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana is urging Christians and Muslims including all people of faith to dedicate three days (Friday, 2nd – Sunday, 4th December, 2016) to fast and pray for the nation ahead of the imminent December 7 elections.
As we fast and pray for continuous peace and stability in Ghana before, during and after the elections, the President is further urging all to dedicate their specific days of worship- Friday, Saturday and Sunday to pray to God to intercede for Ghana.
It is his belief that through fasting and prayers, supported by appropriate measures and actions on the part of all stakeholders, “Our dear nation will once again demonstrate to the world that Ghana is not only the beacon of hope for Africa’s Democracy but also the nation ready and willing to continue on the path of progress and prosperity for all.”
(Signed)
EDWARD K. OMANE BOAMAH(DR)

Gal.6:7,says God is not mocked. You engage in all the dubious and cruel deals only to call fos a three day fasting. God is not a PART TIMER to attend to you only when you smell defeat. Where was God in your life when psychiatric patience slept without drugs and food? Where was He in your life when Attah Mills was murdered? Where was He when you gave 51 million to Woyome? Where was God in mahama's life when northners were buthered at kokomba market? Where was He in your life when Eric Opoku and Collins Dauda's brother killed human beings like goat?Mr. President sorry your God is on holiday. The creator God has harkened to the prayers of nana addo and many Ghanaians who wait on her always. Part time worshipper!
You see when all attempt fail, you run to God.If we had done things right and knowing very well that our action and inaction are of God,we will not need a three days fasting. One thing I know is that God is not human to fail or lie to his people who do the right thing. We always calls for fasting and prayer because we know deep down in our hearts that our action and inaction's are not of God but just to deceive the people that we are of God and love know.Our fasting and prayers are of no use to God if we don't do the right things. We have no love for one another and we will do everything just for our selfish interest only to turn and say praise the Lord. God is not Mock. He sees all things and know all things and even know our heart and mind.. God is not Mock.Matthew 6:16-18....:Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face,That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly Isaiah 58:6:...Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Sometimes i wish we could go back to the old days when the thunder use to strick and kill people.Look at how hungry you are to keep to power by paying EC chairperson and all that and then you come back and talk about fasting and praying for the country.And the reason why we kneel to pray is to feel the pain not for comfortablility Mr.Saul in the bible tried to kill David so many times when he saw God was making David the king.Your time is up Mr the country need a change.
Sorry Mr. President, We don't fast for Peace. We fast for righteousness. When we truly repent of the ***barred word*** and seek grace to own up for such corrupt acts as paying communicators to malign your political opponents.... paying bribes to whip up ethnic divisions and protecting nation wreckers etc. etc. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
The hypocrisyyy o f NPP has finally been revealed. Using God's name in vain and appealing to lesser gods attention the same time. You can't lock God. Where are the NPP pastors to defend the indefensible. Sheime to you all. You're now naked in NPP.
Thanks Mr President a true Christian and not a political Christian who says the battle belongs to the Lord but tells his supporters to slaughter animals and invoke gods. We ate seeing their true colours
Jesus left us peace. All we need to do is to protect it. You can not speak war, plan to rig elections, purchase victory with tax payers money and PRAY FOR PEACE. Stop d evils and peace will prevail Automatically. I AM FOR PEACE.
I'd he kneeling down on s pillow? Somebody teach him the essence on kneeling down. Ko
Go and take our money from all those who have stolen our money and made us poor especially Woyome and stop blocking Martin Amidu from taking it from him on our behalf. Also stop the underground ethnic divisive politics as well as using some people in the security services to intimidate your opponents. If you do this God will be happy with you not this fake fasting. I will look very f001ish before the Lord if I do this fasting. Fasting my f00t. You think you can swindle God with your fake attitude huh! Go and take your bible and Read Isaiah 58:3-6 well and you will see that this fasting has already been rejected by God. When was the last time you heard Americans, British or Canadians fasting for peace during their elections. Just do the right thing and you will be free.
so you no God fasting...tweaaa
