While Akufo-Addo was Saul \u2013 the chosen one who disobeyed God and was visited with hard times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSamuel was asked to anoint Saul to become King, things did not go well, things went rough and that was because Saul became stubborn and was not listening to God and Samuel, so Samuel distanced himself from Saul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Samuel tried to intervene at a point, God asked him to stay off because Saul had showed disobedience and so I see that the pure heart Akufo-Addo for which God chose him, has changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t listen to God anymore, and the prayers that clergymen used to say for him, he doesn\u2019t allow it any longer. So, if you like him to Saul, it is the same thing, Samuel was only instructed by God to anoint Saul because he was God\u2019s own choice,\u201d Rev.\u00a0Isaac Owusu Bempah\u00a0stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to his full views on current happenings<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"Gk3CGWE9eYo\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Prez.Nana Addo has turned his heart away from God- Rev.Owusu Bempah\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gk3CGWE9eYo?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<h3><strong\/><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"peace_black_text_4\">Source: ghanaweb.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"clear:both\">\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"peace_red_text_1\">Disclaimer<\/span>: <span class=\"peace_ash_text_1\">Opinions expressed here are those of the writers and do not reflect those of Peacefmonline.com.
