The founder and leader of the International Central Gospel Church, (ICGC), Pastor Mensa Otabil has set the records straight on how a leader of a nation is made.
Pastor Mensa Otabil speaking with some pastors of his church on the theme ‘How Does God Speak to Us’ the astute Ghanaian preacher revealed that God does not appoint a president or a leader of a nation.
According to the learned scholar of the Bible, it is humans or people who appoint or elect a leader.
He is of the view that God does not have a hand in the election or appointment of a president and that a leader is solely the choice of the people.
However, he stated with the firm conviction that God approves the choice made by a group of people because elections are human will.
He further revealed that whenever a leader is chosen by a people, God then sanctions the appointed leader.
“I don’t believe God chooses leaders for a nation, I believe people choose a president and God sanctions their choice.
You cannot say that a particular president is God’s chosen. It is a people’s choice that is why you can be elected and de-elected.
If God chose him, then we can’t vote on him because we choose but God approves”. he stated
