Mahama Gives Thanks To God For Winning NDC Presidential Election

The flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, on Sunday, joined the Ringway Gospel Centre Assemblies of God Church to give thanks to God for his mercies and protection that made it possible for him to be re-elected to lead his party.

He was joined by his family, including siblings, nephews and nieces; party bigwigs, university mates and other friends.

Clad in all-white attire, former President Mahama, his wife and the entourage took part in song ministration and worship in the almost two-hour service, which was themed on thanksgiving,

Led by Piesie Esther, the Praise and Worship team ministered songs such as Tagoe Sisters’ “Yeredi nkunim”, Stella Seals’ “Okura Yenmu se okoree”, Daughters of Glorious Jesus’ “Ene m’anya anigye (ayeyi nwom)” and other popular thanksgiving tunes, while the youth choir, Anointed Jewels, also rendered “Obinasom”, meaning my heart is joyful, by Nigerian Mercy Chinwo.

After the sermon, the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Rev. Dr Steven Yenusom Wengam, who joined the service midway, led the church to pray for the former President who would be leading the NDC in the 2024 general election.

The General Superintendent recounted how the former President had consistently visited the church to thank God in 2012, when he became President, as well as in 2016 and 2020 when he lost the elections to be re-elected.

“They have shown that you don’t only thank God in good times.

What they are doing today is part of them,” he said.

In a sermon on the “Value of Thanksgiving,” the Resident Pastor, Rev. Benjamin Tettey, drawing on several scriptures such as the books of Psalms and Samuel, exhorted the congregation and the entourage to value thanksgiving.

“Thanksgiving magnifies God and always causes the Lord to renew his mercies on us every morning,” he said.

Rev. Tettey said the Lord also continued to deliver his people because of thanksgiving,
