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.”
