Stop Calling President Mills 'Asomdwehene'... - Methodist Bishop

The Methodist Bishop of the Obuasi Diocese, Rt. Rev. Stephen Richard Bosomtwi-Ayensu, has said that the violent conducts and chaos at some registration centers across the country threatened the survival of the Ghanaian people. According to him, the unpleasant and ugly incidents were really heart-breaking and must be arrested immediately by prayers and fasting. Speaking at the opening of the 15th Annual Diocesan Synod of the Obuasi Methodist Diocese, the man of God made a clarion call to Christians in the country to wake up and hold on tight to their �prayer machinery� to rescue the nation from chaos and destruction before, during and after the elections. Rt. Rev. Bosomtwi-Ayensu observed that the recent media reports about some macho men parading in Kumasi and causing destruction to registration gadgets and materials, as well as unleashing violent attacks on innocent citizens, were worrisome. �With these instances, two quick questions come to mind. Are safe, and what would the day of election be?� he asked rhetorically, and continued that such behavior would make the work of the peace council very difficult. �For our brethren in the security services, be steadfast,hold fast to your integrity, earnest prayers are being fired from all angles to keep you going,� the reverend minister stated. In his view, God has already chosen the man He wants to lead Ghana after the 2012 elections, buttressing his point with a Biblical verse; �what I have written, I have written.� �Everybody wishes his/her favourite become the next president, this is normal but do not forget that God is part of the selection, if not the ultimate decider,� the Methodist Bishop submitted. According to Rev. Bosomtwi-Ayensu, no amount of the intimidation, insults and threats would make the Lord change His mind about who He had approved for the �throne�.
