Four years after Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams spiritually “commanded” the falling cedi to “rise” which the cedis refused to listen, the respected clergyman has now declared 72 hours of fasting over economic hardship in Ghana, MyNews has learnt.
In 2014, Leading his followers, in Church to pray for the recovery of then (and still) fast depreciating local currency, the Presiding Bishop and General Overseer of the Christian Action Faith Ministries (CAFM) headquartered in the national capital, Accra, said: “…I hold up the cedi with prayer and I command the cedi to recover and I declare the cedi will not fall; it will not fall any further. I command the cedi to climb. I command the resurrection of the cedi. I command and release a miracle for the economy”.
At the time the cedi was GhC 2.20 to the US dollar. Today it is GhC5.
But Archbishop won’t give up.
“Leaders who believe in God and recognize in times of national crisis that human capability and intelligence and logic and philosophy can do but so much and can go but so far….and recognize and call upon God’s intervention to overturn national crisis” he had said yesterday in church.
“I proclaim by the voice of the blood of Jesus this 72 hour fast from Monday….. of the month of October…. let the fast be proclaimed and let heaven and earth bear witness and let heaven intervene in the affairs of this country and overturn the suffering and the hardship and difficulties and crisis we face as a nation and a people….” the Archbishop thundered in his powerful voice.
“We pray Heavenly Father you will intervene in the financial conditions of your people….in this nation…that you will overturn the family crisis…crisis in the life of our business community….health crisis…let it be overturned….grant o Lord that we will end this year on a note of victory…celebrating your goodness…” he prayed solemnly. “Ameeeen”, the congregation replied in unison.
