Renowned charismatic leader Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams has challenged President John Dramani Mahama to use his remaining years in office to transform Ghana’s fortunes, drawing inspiration from biblical examples of rapid, purposeful change.
Speaking at a packed National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving event in Accra, the General Overseer of Action Chapel International invoked the mission of Jesus Christ, which was fulfilled in just three years.
“Mr President, you don’t have too many years like Singapore had, but Jesus fulfilled his mission in three years… Within three years, make a difference in time,” he urged.
Addressing national frustrations over persistent economic hardship, Duncan-Williams called for bold, transformative leadership.
“Let our currency thrive under your leadership. Let things get better and better and better like never before.”
He recalled Ghana’s early promise after independence, contrasting it with the dramatic rise of countries like Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea.
“I started meditating, what happened to us? Why has the gold become dim? This state of retrogression must be reversed.”
The archbishop praised the President’s decision to declare July 1 as a National Day of Prayer, calling it a spiritually significant act.
“Under the Levitical law, seven stands for the end of a cycle. I believe this day marks the breaking of every vicious cycle that has held this nation back.”
He also called for the establishment of a non-partisan, long-term national development plan, similar to strategic blueprints adopted by countries like China and the UAE.
“Where is our agenda? We need a national vision that compels us to act boldly, regardless of tribe, religion, or political party.
Your presidency is not for you, Mr President, it’s for our children’s children and generations yet to come.”
Joined by leading pastors and Christian leaders, Duncan-Williams led passionate prayers for peace, economic revival, and divine protection.
“Let every mother, child and father have food and water on their tables. Let our cedi get better and better, not better and worse.”
