THEME: SPIRITUAL LEGITIMACY AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF JEHOVAH OVER POLITICAL IDOLATRY 

The peace of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be unto His Excellency the President. We write in the name and on behalf of The Most High God—the God, Father, Redeemer, and King of Ghana. God the Creator, through and by Jesus Christ, is the salvation, redemption, defense, and refuge of Ghana. He is a mighty tower to whom the righteous run for safety, security, life, peace, and everlasting joy. 

GHANA: A NATION HOLY UNTO GOD 

The Most High God would like His servant to bring to the notice and knowledge of His Excellency that Ghana is a chosen nation, sought out, redeemed, and established by Him as a nation and people HOLY UNTO HIM, JEHOVAH. Be it known that Ghana has no God, Father, or King—and no Saviour or Redeemer—other than Him, the Supreme and Sovereign One. No one can rule Ghana with the aid or assistance of any spirit or power. Accordingly, any resort to spirit- power, philosophy, ideology, faith, or systems that reject the knowledge, worship, obedience, and honor of Him will fail. As Solomon did, one must ask for wisdom from above, not the “wisdom of the ages,” which is derived from the spirit-power of men, false spirits, and the gods for his reign and rule. 

POLITICAL CONFUSION, VIOLENCE AND WARS IN THE NATION 

The Lord would have Ghana understand that the political confusion, instability, bloodshed, violence, wars, and the threat to life, as well as economic and social order— are primarily due to the gods and ruling spirits of the nation working under the “prince of the power of the air.” Such a situation must not be festered in or allowed to flourish in Ghana. Similarly, political power gained through such powers, rigging, fraud, violence, and unrighteous acts make governments illegitimate in the spirit, before the law, and in the spirit-mind and the conscience. Unrighteous and illegitimate governments cannot therefore receive the blessing of God. Hence, nations and peoples are facing woes. Governments are confused. They lack direction, and their works do not receive the sanction and blessing of God and of the people in their spirits, hearts, and minds. 

Illegitimate governments have no spiritual or moral rights to the reins of government. They have no right to accuse, persecute, or enforce law and order, judgment and justice. Though they may try and do exercise the coercive powers of government and the state, their illegitimacy robs them of spirit, peace, sound mind, and wisdom to manage affairs of state. Hence, there are political problems and instability, suffering and woes in many nations. Illegitimate governments are overthrown. As the Bible declares: “When the unrighteous rule, the people mourn” (Proverbs 29:2), but “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14: 34). 

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE GARMENT OF CHRIST 

The Bible enjoins governments to seek to build nation and rule people in peace, righteousness, justice, and joy in the knowledge of Him. Indeed, righteousness is the garments of Jesus Christ, the Redeemer and Lord of righteousness. The Kingdom of God, under which banner Ghana now shines, is a Kingdom of peace, righteousness, judgement, and justice and joy in the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 9: 6-7; Romans 14: 17; Matt. 6: 9-13, 33) The Almighty God, the God of Ghana expects the Government of Ghana to acknowledge, understand, and pursue the national motto of “Freedom and Justice” in the knowledge and honor of God and under the banner of the Kingdom of God and Christ. Thus says the Lord God Jehovah, “I have chosen Ghana and made her My beloved one, yea for the sake of the nations of Africa. Because I will work through Ghana, and from Ghana I shall enter Africa.” 

Your Excellency, entry into authority, power, and rule of Ghana is a very serious spiritual and political matter. Those who gain power by means other than the “Open Gate” and way of God cannot find peace, wisdom, spirit, and strength. Their end, according to the Lord, will be in shame. We will humbly pray that His Excellency not only seek to acknowledge God’s choosing, His hands upon and works in the country, but also seek to know the Light, Mind, and Way of God and if the Lord grant it, the wisdom to manage the affairs of the country. 

In this connection, we have two observations to make. First, there is need for prayer, for deliberation and analysis of the socialist underpinning of policy and governance. Quite apart from the fact that the NDC did not get any large majority to signify open and clear mandate to pursue such a national agenda to merit peace and continuity. There is the larger question whether it accepts, acknowledges, and respects God, the knowledge of Him, the obedience, and honor of God, His will, law, commandments and counsel in the governance and management of the affairs of the country. 

Second, we caution His Excellency the President about the biased and ill-considered attempt to resurrect the image, power, and policies of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and with it the efforts to pull down the works and contribution of others as though “Ghana is Nkrumah and Nkrumah is Ghana.” That Ghana cannot go forward without the spirit-power and politics of Nkrumah. The truth here is that it is not only the people of Ghana who in the majority turned against and rejected Nkrumah; Jehovah God Almighty Himself who rejected and overthrew Nkrumah. 

No one can insult and overthrow God and stand. Peoples and nations may do that and enjoy splendor in the vomit of the wrath and judgement of God. But God cannot allow His chosen nation, Ghana, to enjoy splendor in the rejection, wrath and judgement of God, to make Ghana a reprobate nation and people. The Lord God considers “Nkrumah’s spirit- power system,” and plans for Ghana and Africa an accursed thing. God and the people of Ghana have rejected Nkrumah. No effort at resurrection will succeed. In any case, such an enterprise is an effort in futility, however mighty, grandeur and splendor the efforts. 

May His Excellency the President hear what the Spirit of God is saying. Amen!
