The Asokwa Area Head of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Ekow Badu-Woode has chastised Men of God who have become election prophets and advised them to desist from putting fear into the people. Apostle Badu-Woode described such prophets as charlatans, reminding them that Ghana is a democratic state and not theocratic one.
He made the statement when the Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur joined hundreds of worshipers at the Pentecost International Worship Centre at Asokwa in the Ashanti Region
Apostle Ekow Badu- Wood who is the Asokwa Area Head of the Church of Pentecost described the Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur as a God fearing, humble and a forthright person. And that he brings his faith as a peacemaker into his practice as a politician. He said Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur is the type of leader that Ghana needs.
He described the Vice President as someone who through humility has not separated his office from God. “That is the reason President Mahama chose him as his running mate again”, he said.
In his sermon, Apostle Badu-Wood said we are now in democratic dispensation, so those calling themselves prophetic pastors should allow state institutions to work and not hijack democracy.
He said the will and choice of God for a leader will manifest through the pattern of voting and not from pastors, especially those always saying God has revealed to them who would lead Ghana. He also prayed for the government and the people of Ghana for a peaceful election.
He further stated pastors should stop hijacking democracy by saying God has revealed to them. He added that they should allow the Lord to speak through the ballot. Adding that ballot box voting is a divine way that God appoints his leaders because “democracy is of God”.
He called on pastors and men of God to keep their prophecies and avoid dubious predictions. He said such prophecies put fear in the people. Rev Wood said any calling without listening leads to disaster.
On his part the Vice President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur thanked the church for the reception. He said it only God who directs us to work for his ultimate good.
Vice President Amissah-Arthur gave thanks to God for how far he has brought the country and kept it intact. He was grateful to God for his life.

APOSTLE DID NOT ENDORSE ANYBODY HERE HE ONLY TALKED ABOUT HOW HE SEES HIM PERIOD. DONT STRETCH YOUR FILTHY MOUTHS ON MY APOSTLE. BEEN HUMBLE IS NOT ONE PERSON'S ATTRIBUTES.
PLSE AP.WOOD YOUR STATEMENT CALL FOR INVESTIGATION BY EXECUTIVE COUNCIL BECAUSE WE ARE NOT TO ENDORSED ANY POLITICAL PARTY FIGURE.THE AGENT OF PEACE CAMPAIGN EXPRESSLY TEACHES THAT. WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW
for me i am struggling to believe that it was cop Apostle who made this lose statement.But it is up to him to come and deny or confirm. As a Presiding Elder, i dont expect such a comment from my new convert class let alone a mature cop member. Chairman has to call him to order.
You appear as ***barred word*** as Amissah-Arthur. Can you not see the inflamatory recycling of ***barred word*** things he is bringing up. The man simply has no creativity at all; I wonder where he attended university. Some of you so called bishops are just not objective. Or have you also gotten your V8 already? Stomach and tribalisitic bishop. You need to be sacked from COP. You cannot see where your sheep are flocking!
Well, the Area Head spoke to intellectuals; Professors, Doctors, and the likes. Those who were present never found anything wrong with his message. As usual people will write stories to favour their parties. No big deal about that. But you who were not there and also take political stands are no different from the writer. Because of politics you now take to the internet to insult your Apostle and you call yourself deacon or what? Shame.
this couldnt have happened under pastor james mckoewn time. this apostle would have been given the sack.
Apostle Wood must step down as an Executive member.Chairman, we know you are very fair and firm. Please call Apostle wood to order.To be called Apostle in cop is not a joke.
i am very sorry for no mean a person like an executive of our beloved church.
YOU GUYS HAVE SAID IT ALL. FOR AM A MAN WHO OPENLY DECLARES DOUBLE PORTION OF INSULT IN RETURN AND ENDORSED BY AN EXECUTIVE MEMBER OF MY OWN CHURCH? SHAII, I CAN'T THINK FAR.
Papa, you have really disappointed your area and The Church of Pentecost as a whole. My district head who is an overseer will make such comments. No wonder ........... Chairman Opoku Onyinah must bring him to book.
