By King Amoah.
In a profound message that resonated with many, Nyame Somafo Yawoh, the founder and leader of the Asomdwee Ntonton Som (Nkabom) in Ekumfi Otuam of the Central Region has urged Ghanaians to place their faith in God rather than relying on politicians for solutions to their problems.
His remarks came during a special service at the Kumasi Culture Center on October 6, where he emphasized the importance of soul winning and healing.
As Ghana approaches a critical election period, Nyame Somafo Yawoh reminded citizens of the inherent responsibility each voter bears.
He implored them to exercise caution and discernment when approaching the polls.
“Your mandate is to go to the polling stations during election time, cast your vote peacefully, and then return home,” he advised, underscoring the importance of making informed choices at the ballot box.
He further instructed voters to look beyond popular rhetoric and instead support candidates who genuinely possess the potential to bolster the nation’s economy and promote public welfare.
“No president or politician can solve all the problems of all citizens. It’s a fallacy to expect that any leader can deliver universal solutions,” asserted Yawoh.
“As a nation, we must choose a president to guide us, but our ultimate reliance must be on God, who has the real power to enact change and provide solutions.”
His remarks serve as a reminder that blind allegiance to political figures, based on the false hope that they will resolve societal woes, can lead to disillusionment.
In light of the forthcoming elections, he urged political leaders and their supporters to maintain peace and civility.
“Political unrest can have dire consequences. It is imperative that leaders conduct themselves with integrity and that supporters are cautioned against violence,” Yawoh emphasized, advocating for an atmosphere of respect and calm as the nation prepares for this pivotal democratic exercise.
The clergy, too, were not exempt from his critique. Yawoh expressed grave concerns over pastors who offer prophecies aligning with specific political ambitions.
“These individuals are not sent by God. Their motives are often self-serving, aimed at gambling with the faith of their followers,” he warned.
He urged Ghanaians to approach such prophecies with skepticism and to seek the genuine word of God instead.
For those seeking a genuine spiritual experience, he encouraged engagement with his church, Asomdwee Ntonton Som (Nkabom), inviting citizens to experience the true love of God that he asserts can fulfill their spiritual needs and transcend their worldly concerns.
As Ghanaians prepare to make critical decisions about their leadership, the words of Nyame Somafo Yawoh resonate deeply: the pursuit of peace, careful consideration during elections, and an unwavering faith in God are paramount for a prosperous future.
His call to action serves as not just a reminder, but also as an invocation to embrace a divine source of hope that transcends politics.
