Accra, Jan. 01, GNA - Apostle Schambach Amaniampong, Head of Christian Redemption International Centre in Accra, on Monday asked members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to pray to God to give them a new leader who would sustain the peace and stability of the nation. He said this was necessary to forestall a possible split in the Party after it had selected its presidential candidate. He asked President John Agyekum Kufuor to get closer to God during the last two years of his term in order to attract divine direction. Apostle Amaniampong said a close relationship between President Kufuor and God would facilitate his efforts to improve the socio-economic and political fortunes of Ghana and leave behind a good legacy.

He asked Government officials especially the President and the Vice President to be careful about the machinations of the devil to engage their convoy in fatal accidents to claim lives to discredit the Executive.

Apostle Amaniampong said 2007 would pose a lot of challenges for politicians in the West African Sub-Region and asked Christians to pray fervently to neutralize plans by the devil to create bloodshed in Nigeria and neighbouring Cote d'Ivoire.

He said terrorists were planning to escalate their activities worldwide, hence the need for intensive prayers by Christians. Apostle Amaniampong said 2007 was a year of Jubilee for Ghana and great transformation that would ensure prosperity and success for a number of people.

"Whoever has trusted God for financial, matrimonial and other breakthrough should expect divine favour between January and March this year," he said.

Apostle Amaniampong said there would be universal financial breakthrough, while a lot of foreign investors would invest in Ghana between August and October.

Last year Apostle Amaniampong predicted that the country would experience a number of industrial unrests to back demand for better remunerations and the creation of a new political party. He also prophesied that there would be political tensions in Nigeria and a boom in commercial activities in Ghana.
