Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the Founder and General Overseer of Nicholas Duncan-Williams Ministries, has urged members of the new government to maintain consistency in their relationships and to not let their current power change them. He highlighted that President John Mahama and his wife have remained consistent in their relationships with others and encouraged their followers to uphold this same level of consistency.
“This President and his wife, they are consistent; they don’t change. What you seek is what you get. Please don’t change. Don’t let the position you are entering or the influence you acquire change you, because your boss and his wife are consistent—they don’t change, whether they are in opposition or in power,” the clergyman advised.
Delivering a sermon at the President’s first National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service in Accra on Sunday, January 12, Rev. Duncan-Williams explained that if the government heeds his counsel, “God will blow your mind and will use you to advance the cause of this nation.” He also stated that “lack of love for the country” contributes to corruption and poverty in Ghana and across Africa. He emphasised the need for those in power to demonstrate love for the people and the nation.
“You will never take advantage of the people you love; you will not exploit the people you love. So, I want to say that this President and his wife love this country. All of you coming into new positions, please love this country, love the people of this country, and God will bless you,” he said.
He further expressed his confidence in the new President’s ability to lead the nation out of its economic challenges and make Ghana an attractive place for its citizens abroad to return, work, and contribute to the country’s development, rather than seeking opportunities elsewhere.
