President-elect, John Dramani Mahama has told the clergy that he needs their prayers more to deliver on his mandate because the expectations of Ghanaians are very high.<\/strong><\/p>\nHe says that although he was expecting to win the elections, he did not anticipate this victory margin.<\/p>\n
He said this when the Executive Presbytery of our church, the Assemblies of God, led by General Superintendent Rev. Stephen Wengam, paid a courtesy call on him on Tuesday, December 10 to congratulate him for winning the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n
He said \u201cThis can\u2019t be by our might, I was positive that we will win but the extent of this victory, it can only\u00a0 be God\u2019s hand\u00a0 at work.\u00a0 It is one of the biggest endorsements that Ghanaians have ever given\u00a0 to any president.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added \u201cThis is the time we need prayers even more because the expectations of Ghanaians are very high.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all know that the country is in a severe economic crisis, and it is going to take us a lot of hard work to bring it back and so we expect that the church will continue to pray for us. we also will reciprocate the lone that the\u00a0 church has for us\u00a0 by being advocates and ambassadors of the church as\u00a0 we have already been.\u201d<\/p>\n
