Pastor Mensa Otabil, the Founder and General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), says God is not involved in the business of choosing leaders for countries. "I don't believe God chooses leaders for countries.
If God is the one who chooses leaders, then He has been making a lot of mistakes, especially on our Continent," he said.
Pastor Otabil said this when he delivered a sermon on the theme; "A way in the wilderness", at a programme dubbed "Charisma", at Desert Pastures, a branch of Church of Fountain Gate Chapel (FGC) in Bolgatanga, Upper East Region.
The week-long programme, hosted by Reverend Eastwood Anaba, the Founder of FGC and President of the Eastwood Anaba Ministries, was intended for Christians to "Know the spirit, follow the spirit, live by the spirit and minister by the spirit." Pastor Otabil, a Guest Speaker at the programme, said God was not in the leadership choosing process and that it was a lazy way of thinking, "It is a way of abdicating your responsibility and hoping that whatever comes, it is God's will, no it is our will, it is the will of the people. "If you are foolish, you make a foolish choice.
