            The General Overseer, Word Centre Church Int., Heroes’ Temple, Bishop Ernest Joy Quaye, during a 14-day Prophetic Revival, exposed to the general public that, national politics has nothing to do with theocracy as a response to caution men of God, at the church auditorium, Asylum Down, Accra.  

            The 14 days “Until I Find a Place for the Lord” program, which seeks to empower Christians on commitment towards the work of God, identified with renowned men of God such as Apostle Jeffery Mensah, Prophet James Owusu and Rev. Freddie Manu Osei, who graced the program with life transforming messages. The program was to facilitate the fundraising in aid of church building in order to expand the activities of the church.

            According to Bishop Ernest Joy Quaye, the church usually organizes such programs annually to streamline Christians’ behavior. He explained that, many Christians are busy working for their selves without paying attention to the work of God, making them too self-centered Christians. He added that, every Christian must satisfy three basic requirements to be successful on earth, which are commitments to the things of God, money (rich) and strict adherence to the biblical principles.

            He revealed that, the biblical principle which urge Christians to pay their offertory and tithe are being undermined by many people which is causing most Christians to fail in life. He posited that, this biblical principle give Christians opportunities to give in order to receive abundantly. He continued by urging all Christians to find a place in their heart for the work of God by exhibiting strong commitments, as everyone must work for a chosen course.

             Bishop Quaye maintained that, Christians symbolizes the body of peace, hence they should preach peace during this election period, as this 2016 election is critical. He further revealed that, his church is surrounded by most of the strong political parties in Ghana such as the NDC, NPP, NDP and the CPP, of which those parties always find refuge to park their cars at his church premises, serving as a peace symbol for the community. He said Ghanaians should not do anything which will cost their lives and the peace of Ghana, as the political parties cannot save them when they die.

            He explained that, national politics is not theocracy, hence, men of God should refrain from prophesying the election results and keep those prophecies in order to ensure peace in the country. “Democracy is a choice for the people not prophecies from God, therefore, men of God should rather pray for the leaders given by God”, he advised. Finally, he urged the electorate to allow the will of God to manifest and always pray for the right leader, rather than fighting for the right leader.
