The founder and General Overseer of the New Jerusalem Chapel in Sokoban Ampayoo, Bishop Dr. J. Y. Adu, has urged Ghanaians to pray for peace and God’s protection as the country faces potential tensions between the outgoing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the incoming National Democratic Congress (NDC) following the 2024 presidential elections. The prophetic message was delivered during the 31st watch night service, where Bishop Dr. Adu warned of possible conflicts between the two powerful political parties as the country navigates this period of transition.
Bishop Dr. Adu foresees a time of heightened political tensions as the NDC prepares to assume office. These tensions are expected to surface particularly over disputes regarding vehicle seizures, mining site control, and land concessions. As the NDC takes the reins of power, there will likely be confrontations between party members, particularly involving government vehicles and assets that the incoming administration claims should be returned. The Bishop foresees political arrests, especially among NPP members who are believed to be in possession of these assets, which could lead to further instability.
Additionally, Bishop Dr. Adu predicts that disputes over land allocations, particularly in the mining sector, will significantly fuel the tensions. Under the NPP’s governance, certain land concessions related to mining have been granted, and the incoming NDC government is expected to challenge these allocations. As the NDC works to reclaim land it believes belongs to it, clashes over mining sites are anticipated, potentially resulting in heated conflicts. The tensions are expected to escalate as both parties engage in these power struggles, with each faction aiming to secure what they believe is rightfully theirs.
In light of these concerns, Bishop Dr. Adu has called on Ghanaians to unite in prayer for the country. He emphasized the need for divine intervention to guide the leaders through this critical period. “We must pray for our leaders, for God’s guidance, and for peace to prevail in this time of transition,” he urged the congregation. “The tension between the outgoing NPP and incoming NDC is likely to escalate, but with prayer, we can avoid violence and chaos.”
The Bishop further stressed that unity and peace are crucial for the future of Ghana. He reminded Ghanaians that the stability of the country should outweigh any political rivalry. “Both parties must remember that the peace and stability of Ghana is more important than any political rivalry,” said Bishop Dr. Adu. “It is essential that we come together in prayer to seek God’s protection for our nation and our leaders.”
The prophecy delivered during the 31st watch night service underscores the importance of peaceful political transitions for the continued prosperity and unity of Ghana. Bishop Dr. Adu has urged citizens to remain vigilant and united, reminding them that the nation’s future depends on how the leadership transitions unfold and how both the NPP and NDC approach the potential conflicts and challenges ahead.
Along with these concerns, Bishop Dr. Adu also issued a word of caution to the country’s journalists. He warned that the tension between the two political parties could result in increased scrutiny of the media, with many journalists being arrested and prosecuted. He urged journalists to exercise extra caution in their reporting during this period, as the potential for political backlash could lead to arrests and even imprisonment.
Despite the ominous predictions, many are hopeful that both the outgoing NPP and incoming NDC will prioritize the country’s well-being over political rivalry and work together to maintain Ghana’s reputation as a beacon of democracy and peace in Africa. Bishop Dr. Adu believes that, with faith and collective prayer, the nation will be able to overcome the challenges that lie ahead and emerge from this transitional period stronger and more united.
As the country moves into this politically charged phase, Ghanaians are urged to keep their faith in the power of prayer, trusting that divine protection and wisdom will help guide the nation through these turbulent times. With unity, faith, and prayer, it is hoped that Ghana will continue to be a symbol of peace and democracy in the region.
