PRESS STATEMENT 

TITLE: THE STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS 

THEME: DIVINE MESSAGE ON THE STATE OF THE NATION 

Peace be to you. 

Thanks be to God for yet another opportunity to share with the church, government, nation and people of Ghana the Will, Direction and Counsel of God Most High concerning our nation, Ghana. 

Ghana stands elect, beautiful and glorious in the sight and counsel of God Almighty, the Creator and Father of all spirits.   

We as nation and people should count ourselves blessed therefore that the good, welfare and well-being of us as people and the affairs of the nation should receive attention and keen interest of the Most High God.  

Blessed indeed is our nation.  Blessed therefore are the feet of the media fraternity of the country.  Thanks be to God for your joining hands with the church in Ghana to declare glad tidings of good to nation, publishing peace and salvation, blessing all with hope saying, OUR GOD REIGNS! 

THE DIVINE MESSAGE  

Now, the Divine Message we bring to-day is in assertion of Jehovah God’s take-over of the government of the nation for His ordered Godly government and Kingdom, Reign and Rule as God, King, Lord, Ruler, Judge and Governor of the nation. 

We are confident that the Lord God Jehovah’s State of the Nation Address we bring will bring comfort, spirit, life and hope to the entire nation and people, as well as friends of Ghana and people of God around the globe. 

God, on the move to still the storms of consternation, confusion and hopelessness in Africa and the world is blowing a sound of peace and comfort, bringing a bright light of hope for billions. 

The Divine State of the Nation Address will serve as a centre piece of Divine Act of Transformation, Construction and Establishment of The New Ghana of Divine Heritage of Glory, birthed in Year 2015. 

Ghana, Beulah in Divine Light, Beauty and Glory is the New Order of Everlasting Standing unto Eternity to peoples and creation of the land and Africa. 

We make this presentation in our standing as servant and spokesperson of the Most High God, called and commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father. 

The Divine message addresses three blocks of pillars of national life – The Spiritual, the Political and the Economic. These three serve as threshold and platform for the social and cultural heritage as well as the character, well-being and life of the people. 

The address ends with a declaration on the rise of a New Ghanaian after God, described as The Tree of Righteousness, the planting of the Lord who will serve as minister of God and vessel of hope that shall build  the old wastes, repair the waste cities and raise up former desolations, the desolations of past generations (Is. 61:3-4). 

That is to say, soon mourning and sighing Ghanaians shall enjoy Divine blessings, comfort and everlasting peace and joy, and blessedness (Is. 61:3; 51:11).  Blessed indeed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, the people He has chosen for His inheritance (Ps. 33:12). 

The New Ghanaian will raise and establish a new social and cultural order of peace, righteousness and joy in the Lord with eternally standing values and hope inherent in the spiritual and social order of Divine Heritage of Glory. 

The Most High God will raise men and women to establish and maintain eternal values of hope consistent with heaven ordained spiritual and social order of Divine Heritage of Glory.  There shall also arise a politico-economic order and government set in place and run by the Lord God Jehovah Himself through His chosen vessels.   The zeal of the Lord shall perform it, says the Lord. 

THE SPIRITUAL GATE 

The coming down and establishment of the Throne of God, His reign, rule and take-over of the government of the nation announced last year has created a completely new spiritual order for the country. 

The old order of Satan-Man reign and rule, of Satan worship and idolatry, sorcery and witchcraft, blood sacrifices and oppression by spirits and powers, gods, goddesses, deities and men have given way to a state of peace, righteousness and joy in the Lord, and the worship of Him.  There is also the elimination of Divine anger, wrath and judgement in national affairs with all its curses and condemnation of people and nation.  The peace and law of life and liberty in Jesus Christ have set Ghana free. 

Ghana is now ushered into a realm of the goodness and mercy of God and a state of light and life, progress, prosperity and good released and sustained by the Spirit of God, the good works and worship of His holy angels and redeemed people of church and nation. 

“And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, 

I will praise thee: 

though thou wast angry with me, 

thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. 

Behold, God is my salvation. 

I will trust, and not be afraid: 

for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song. 

He also is become my salvation. 

Therefore, with joy shall ye draw water 

out of the wells of salvation. 

And in that day shall ye say, 

Praise the LORD, call upon His name, 

declare His doings among the people, 

make mention that His name is exalted. 

Sing unto the LORD; 

for He hath done excellent things: 

this is known in all the earth. 

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: 

for great is the Holy One of Israel (Ghana) in the midst of thee” (Isaiah 12:1-6) 

The Lord has declared in this direction that Ghana shall from now experience a 30-year period of uninterrupted Divine Glory under the watch of Him the Most High God. 

As we know in this regard, the Lord God Almighty has married our nation and given her the name BEULAH.  Ghana shall bear the image and marks therefore of Divine spouse and enter into everlasting joy in the Hand of God. Ghana, a royal diadem and crown of glory in the hand of God is the story (Is. 62: 1-5). 

There is one thing we should note that the Kingdom of God is established with peace, righteousness, justice and judgement.  That, there will be judgement against the agents of Satan and the wicked who have robbed, oppressed and perpetuated evil, murder and destruction against people and nation. 

The judgement regime will also signify healing and deliverance for the oppressed and molested people and nation.  GHANA IS FREE is the new song of praise and everlasting joy of people and creation of the country.   

Ghana is Free: Africa is Free is the trumpet sound.  The day of peace, joy and hope of progress, prosperity and good of Divine heritage of glory has come.  Thanks be to God.  Hallelujah. 

THE POLITICAL GATE 

The New Ghana of Divine Heritage of Glory under the kingdom, reign and rule and government of Jehovah God will by definition entail fresh visitation and re-ordering of the politics and governance of the nation. 

Hitherto, the political gate and government of the country have witnessed much a violent disputation and disruption, disunity and destruction.  This disruption, disunity and volatility of the political processes have created an opening for the evil and wicked, the corrupt, immoral, lawless and disloyal to enter into politics and governance of the land. 

The political waters and governance of the land have been muddled by political and economic adventurers and power and gain seekers.  By their ways and fruits, the various actors have shelved the critical needs of development, progress and prosperity of country.  Indeed, the advancement of the well-being, happiness and hope of the people in nation building have been jettisoned in vain pursuit of sheer power, gain, fame and short-lived human glory. 

Thus, the most flogged and abused enterprise in the country’s short history is politics, governance and public office.  The political arena is flooded by many spirits and powers, gods, goddesses and mini gods all of which are craving for space and gain, recognition, worship and glory.  In the end, nation and people have suffered much a set-back in aspirations, expectations and actual performance.   

Suffice to say here that, because of this, the Lord God Most High has deliberately interrupted the nation building and development process hindering the lifted glory of the nation till he finds a man whose heart is open to Him and who can be entrusted with the Divine destined glory for nation and people elected and chosen by Him for His inheritance and Kingdom glory in Africa. 

“I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: 

and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; 

and I will give it him.” (Ezk. 21:29 KJV) 

In this respect, the factors responsible for hindrance to national progress are three-fold: 

1. The egoistic power struggles by political players 

The immoral and ungodly works by the corrupt, evil ways and wicked players in politics, governance and national affairs in general 

1. The Divine Hand interrupting nation-building, development and progress outside the heaven designed and destined glory for nation and people for God Kingdom Glory in Africa and the world. 

Now that the Lord God Jehovah Himself has taken-over the government for godly government and His Kingdom glory, the nation and people should expect steady and determined pursuit and advancement of politics and governance for the declared uninterrupted Divine glory for nation and people. 

The Spirit of the Lord hereby declares, comfort ye My people, the time has come for Divine Hand for development, growth, progress and prosperity of heaven ordered glory in the land. 

The time has come for church and people, nation and government to uphold the Divine hand and seal of God on the nation.  Demons, gods and goddesses and wicked man cannot and must not be allowed any part and space in the political arena and the nation building processes. 

Finally, Divine counsel demands that all parties in the politics and governance, nation building and progress of the country must desist from apportioning blames, living in the past, not giving attention to the New Thing of Divine Glory for the country. 

A New Day under God has dawned for the country.  Praise ye the Lord! 

THE ECONOMIC GATE 

The Lord has directed His servant to call the nation’s attention to the fact that the present economic standing of the nation, cost of living and the well-being and happiness of the people of Ghana is far less than and is nowhere to be compared to the economic standing, cost of living and well-being and happiness of the people at the time of independence in 1957. 

Ghana entered nationhood with great prospects, good financial reserves with great potential for development, progress and prosperity, and happiness of the people.  The economic base of physical and human resources were under dignified management and prospects, notwithstanding the colonial ambit. 

Independence brought opportunities as well as challenges.  The Ghanaian under colonial administration and rule coupled with Divine honouring church worship and missionary zeal with pursuit in education, health, social services and economic ventures prepared the Ghanaian people and nation for a future of great prospects.  But alas, the nation sunk in glory due primarily to confused and misguided politics, political interference with public administration, church missionary zeal with the worship and honour of God, and national enterprise as a whole.  Corruption, robbery and the transfer of national resources, state and private enterprise cut deep bleeding holes in national psyche and enterprise.  The wounds have deepened over the years. 

The golden standard and banner of righteousness for politics, government, enterprise and life has been abandoned and set aside in every aspect of national life, public, private and national affairs in general.  The framework of truth, morality and legality, honesty, loyalty and trust is no more applicable and feasible in every sector of national life.  The net result is an economy of uncertainties, political and economic subterfuge, institutionalised, supervised and protected corruption and abuse of office, weighted heavily with politicisation, polarization and division with enterprise at all levels of national life. 

In short, morality, legality and integrity have broken down everywhere. Hence, economic advancement, national development and progress with the social good have been undermined and made a farce. 

It is obvious that politics and government have become a bane on enterprise, private and public, state and national.  It is apparent that godly government for Divine glory in the economic sector will demand not just light and viable policies.  It will demand a new righteous and dignified approach to enterprise, conduct and life in the light and knowledge of God. 

 The New Thing of political and administrative engagement with the economic sector and enterprise will require that people, public officials in particular not only respect, honour and give due space to enterprise, private and public. Service agencies such as banks, utility suppliers and professionals doing business with enterprise must of needs buy into the enterprise venture spirit and psyche so to render right and appropriate services and assistance for the promotion of development, progress, prosperity and the well-being of people and nation, all in the knowledge, fear, honour and glory of God.  

To be sure, God knows, sees and rewards the righteous, honest and faithful.  There is no gainsaying that the Lord who is the God, King, Lord and Governor of the nation can easily identify the righteous, industrious and loyal citizens committed to God, country and people, national progress and well-being of people and nation.  There is reward for faithfulness. 

In the end, the knowledge, fear and honour of God is the hall mark for all players in the political economy.  This is the key, righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.  In the final analysis, it is God’s own commitment to His vision and concern about the New Ghana of Divine Heritage of Glory that will constitute the base, spirit and framework of Divine Hand in all processes in the nation. 

THE NEW GHANAIAN AND CULTURE OF DIVINE GLORY 

Nothing is assuring in this respect as the emergence of The New Ghanaian who will stand and shine as The Tree of Righteousness, the Planting of the Lord for the repair of waste cities and building of the New Ghana of Divine Heritage of Glory. 

The scriptures give hint of two developments in this regard: first, the New Man with New Life based on the Spirit of Christ indwelling the believer.  The new life spirit submits to and responds positively to the power, wisdom and counsel, direction and promptings of scripture and the Holy Spirit.  Such will by definition lead to a new heaven directed behaviour, conduct and performance, spirit and culture in the light and way, power, wisdom and knowledge of God.  This is the basis of hope for the rise of the New Ghanaian who shall be vessel and instrument under the inspiration, guidance and working power and hand of God for the heaven ordered new thing. 

It is assured then that the Spirit of God will establish a new heaven-based society with Divine prompted social and cultural order.  That happening, the New Ghana of Divine Heritage of Glory will be a totally new society and people enmeshed in the Kingdom and Glory of God. 

We are persuaded in this regard that the New Ghanaian will be a shining light reflecting and bringing Divine light to bear on both human beings and rest of creation in Ghana and Africa.  Simply put, the spirit of the New Ghanaian will uphold and enshrine the Spirit of Righteousness of Christ transmitted through love, obedience and the honour of God the Father. 

We conclude that there are great prospects of heaven raining down Divine Glory unto people and nation.  Hallelujah!  

May we humbly call attention here to obedience and diligence of the church set in the holiness of God and the emergence of new politicians grounded in love of God, people and nation, freed from the evil and filthy hands of greed and gain, corruption, evil ways, wickedness and lawlessness. 

Once again, we declare, A New Day of Divine Glory has dawned for Ghana.  Praise ye the Lord! Let us rejoice and sing the new song, GHANA IS FREE! 

Glory to God in the highest. Amen and Amen.
