Mahama is not a saviour; just a vessel - Archbishop Duncan-Williams

Presiding Archbishop and General Overseer of the Action Chapel International Ministry, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, has urged Ghanaians to stop describing President-elect John Mahama as Ghana's savior.

According to him, the task ahead of the incoming President, especially in managing the economy, is immense. Rather than showering accolades on him, the citizenry should pray for him to succeed in his role as President.

The revered man of God made these remarks during a courtesy call on John Dramani Mahama by members of the Apostolic Fathers. He encouraged Ghanaians to keep their expectations of the new government realistic.

"Expectations have to be managed because you are a vessel that has come. This notion that people say you have come to rescue or to save—people should be very careful with that. You are a vessel in the hands of God, so they should stop saying such things and instead pray for you. Pray that God can use you to execute the mandate that the people of this country have entrusted to you. I know it is a difficult challenge.

"During your time in opposition, we were talking once, and you and Mama Lordina were questioning why you were standing for election, considering the kind of situation we are facing. I think that is when you realized it is a call and a mandate from God that you have to fulfill," Archbishop Duncan-Williams said.

“I remember that when we spoke in 2016, I mentioned to you what I felt prophetically—that you would have to leave and, at the right time, you would return. In 2020, we met again with Hon. Elvis in my office, and I told you, 'Mr. President, you are not coming back now, but you will return after 2020.'

"So, when 2020 ended, I was very confident, regardless of what anyone said, that it was your time to come back, to fulfill your mandate, and to finish your unfinished business,” he added.
