A Silent Prayer For Afoko At A Time Like This

A time comes in the life of any nation when men must stand up to say enough is enough. I have been screaming from the roof top to anybody who cares to listen that Paul Afoko is doing the unthinkable in his Party. Chairman Afoko is digging the deepest well in Ghana. This man is breaking his back for New Patriotic Party to come alive again.

Chairman Afoko is going the whole hog to clear the Augean Stable Akufo Addo has created within the last ten years. This man is going extra miles to recover the soul of NPP stolen for 9 years. This man is biting bullets to retake NPP that has been plundered and pillaged to bones in 9 years.

I am a student of the Bible and at a time like this, what we are told as Christians is to pray for the leader whom God has chosen at a time like this. Given the magnitude of corruption, impunity, lawlessness and brigandage in our party today every right thinking person must rise up to offer a helping hand.

Forces of darkness who want the maintenance of the status quo are very rich, very powerful, and well connected. They are capitalizing on the desire for power and the massive poverty they have created in the party to take advantage of the weak and the vulnerable. They have used massive poverty as an instrument to work on the psychology of our people. Now our people are poor, weak, dejected and confused. Our God, our Helper must do something for his people who are down, robbed and plundered.

Throughout history I have known that our Creator cannot send you on a battle and leave you empty handed. He always arms those who genuinely love him and even those who do love him for a purpose and care for His people. You do not need to be a Christian for God to recognize you. After all, Cyrus did not know God as written in Isaiah 45 and yet God blessed him.

Chairman Afoko did not emerge as Chairman last two years for nothing. God has a purpose for putting this man in the saddle at a time like this. If powerful men and women, political structures, networks etc were the yardstick for winning the Chairmanship Elections some others would cruised to victory. But God was on the side of New Plan for Power and Chairman Afoko.

From the unexpected quarters he raised Afoko to come and restore hope in the party. But will this job be easy as milking a cow. We are seeing that it is not an easy task. Corruption is fighting back from all directions; the National Council, Flagbearer, His wife and Children, Council of Elders, some National Executive Committee members, and from a vast preponderance of other institutions in NPP. This man needs all the support from all and sundry to succeed.

I am therefore invoking Psalm 20 on this day of March 25 2016 (GOOD FRIDAY) to encourage this Chairman at a time like this. Please pray with me

20 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;
May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
2 May He send you help from the sanctuary,
And strengthen you out of Zion;
3 May He remember all your offerings,
And accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah
4 May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,

And fulfill all your purpose.
5 We will rejoice in your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.
6 Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They have bowed down and fallen;
But we have risen and stand upright.
9 Save, Lord!
You can be an PPP or CPP member, a Christian, Muslim , a professional, a trader, a market man or woman, student, artisans , laborer, carpenter etc and you firmly believe in Chairman Afoko's drive for a new NPP, all you need to do is to key in to this project to pray for the Chairman to succeed.

If you like what the Chairman is doing today, if you are a lover of good things, if you are lover equity, Justice and Fair Play, if you hate corruption, and impunity, if you believe in the project NPP under Afoko, if you want our party to join the comity of civilized world, if you want our party to grow, if you want NPP to rebuild her structures, please key in to this project.

Light and darkness have no meeting point. Hope and hopelessness have no meeting point and so it is good for leadership and bad leadership. A party deserves the kind of leaders it gets. As man thinks so he is. The Holy book says we should not cast away our confidence in God which has great reward.

Corruption must not defeat Afoko and NPP’s Constitution. If God is with us as a mighty terrible one, the enemies of NPP will crumble and they will not succeed no matter how powerful they are. Their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. This should be our prayers at a time like this. Amen!
