Election 2024: Ghanaians asked to rise up in prayer- Apostle Dr. John Sagoe
Ghanaians have been asked to rise up in prayer ahead of the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
According to the Founder of the John Sagoe Ministries and the New International Church in Switzerland, Apostle Dr. John Sagoe he received a message from God on December 31, 2023 regarding Ghana’s election.
Speaking at a Press Briefing held at the Alisa Hotel last Saturday, he indicated that God revealed to him that there would be international interference leading to an unpleasant outcome.
Against this backdrop, he said there is the need for prayers and intercession for the country.
“Therefore, it is important for all Ghanaians and the body of Christ to rise up in prayer against such plans,” he said.
He said the Lord is raising young people in all spheres of leadership positions to change the course of Ghana’s direction because most of the elders have failed the agenda of God.
Apostle Dr. John Sagoe In a related development unveiled his book ‘Rediscovering The Power of The Altar,’ adding that the power of prayer, united in purpose and fueled by faith, proved to be a formidable force against even the darkest of adversaries.
He said, “ ‘Rediscovering The Power of the Altar’ invites you to reawaken this ancient practice in your own life adapted to today’s understanding.”

Four tricycle operators, popularly known as ‘Pragya’, have been prosecuted and fined GH¢600 each equivalent to 50 penalty units by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Sanitation Court for obstructing public roads at the Agbogbloshie Market.
The offenders, who were arrested by Public Health Officers of the AMA during a routine enforcement exercise, pleaded guilty to the offence and were subsequently convicted by the court.
The four operators were among the 21 offenders recently arrested at the Agbogbloshie Market for various sanitation and public order violations, including selling on open drains, obstructing walkways, and trading at unauthorised locations.
Speaking after the court proceedings, the Head of Public Health at the AMA, Madam Florence Kuukyi, said the court was lenient with the offenders since it was their first appearance, hence the fine, and warned that subsequent offenders would face stiffer penalties, including imprisonment.
