The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has declared a three-day fasting and prayer session to seek God’s intervention following the COVID-19 outbreak in Ghana.
The three-day exercise, it said to begins today and ends on Sunday, March 22, 2020 and should be done in the homes of party members, sympathisers and all well-meaning Ghanaians.
In a statement signed by its National Chairman, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, the party further urged well-meaning Ghanaians of all faiths to fervently pray for the speedy intervention of the Almighty God in this situation.
It said the NDC fully supported the need for every person in Ghana to strictly observe the precautionary measures and directives outlined by the mandated health regulatory bodies and the government in the collective effort to eliminate the debilitating disease which currently has no known cure.
It also referred to Deuteronomy 4:7 which states that, “For what nation has a god as near to them as the Lord our God is near to us whenever we call on him?” Those who know Him will always call on Him.
The statement said it was obvious that the world was not in normal times, as the disease threatened the very existence of humanity, hence “turning to our Maker at this point is, therefore, non-negotiable.”
It said although the NDC was aware of the consistent and fervent prayers of religious bodies and leaders for the country, it implored on the leaders of the Christian Faith in Ghana to heed to this all-important call.
