Founder and President of Worldwide Miracle Outreach, Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh has expressed his disinterest in becoming a President.
Dr. Tetteh expressed his sadness for President Akuffo-Addo, citing the demands of his role as a head of state.
According to him, he cannot deal with all the pressures that come with being a President and has no ambition or interest to be a President.
“I feel sad for the President, it’s a headache. There’s pressure. I’m happy to be the President of Worldwide Miracle Outreach, nobody is going to elect me. I am not going to be begging anybody for votes. I speak my mind and I’m free. I don’t have to be careful with what I am going to say because people will not vote for me. I speak the mind of God.”

Dr. Lawrence Tetteh further cited the current situation with the Presidential assent of the Anti-LGBTQI bill stressing the dilemma President Akufo-Addo is currently engulfed in.
“As we speak today, look at what the President is going through. He has a bill to sign. It is difficult for him, on one side, he is a married man, on one side, he is a father, and on the natural side, he is a man of tradition who believes in progression but because of international politics [he’s laid back].”

However, he noted he does not regret becoming a man of God as he is fulfilled by his ministry and doing God’s work.
“I was supposed to be a career diplomat. I specialized in International Relations and have the chance to lecture the course in many universities around the globe but I must be honest with you, what I do today is satisfying. There is fulfillment in what I preach. I am happy with where I am and I also thank God that one thing that inspires me is that despite all the things I have faced in life, I still found him.”

Dr. Tetteh is also an author who has written many Christian books including The Benefits of the Anointing, Count Your Blessings, and Dangers of Offence, among others.
Dr. Tetteh Strongly Opposes Pastors Predicting Presidential Elections
In Ghana, as in many other countries, it is not uncommon for religious leaders, including pastors, to express their views and opinions on various matters, including political events such as Presidential elections.
Some pastors may claim to have prophetic insights or visions regarding election outcomes, while others may simply share their personal beliefs or preferences.
It is essential to note that prophesying about Presidential elections, or any political event for that matter, is a subjective matter and should be viewed with caution.
While some individuals may place great faith in these prophecies, it is important to remember that they are not scientifically verifiable and should not be considered guaranteed predictions.
In Ghana, as a democratic country, Presidential elections are determined by the collective will of the citizens through voting. It is the responsibility of the Ghanaian people to engage in informed decision-making, considering various factors such as candidates’ policies, track records, and alignment with personal values.
Ultimately, the interpretation and significance of pastors prophesying about Presidential elections in Ghana vary among individuals. Some may find comfort or guidance in these prophetic messages, while others may view them skeptically. Citizens must exercise their critical thinking and make their electoral choices based on a broad range of information and perspectives.
Dr. Lawrence Tetteh disclosed his strong disapproval of pastors prophesying about Presidential elections.
Dr. Tetteh voiced his disapproval of this practice, emphasizing that pastors should refrain from making political predictions.
“I am totally against pastors who will stand on their pulpit and declare who is going to become a President,” he said.
However, Dr. Tetteh believes that it is inappropriate for pastors to involve themselves in political matters in this manner.
Instead, he advocates for pastors to focus on their spiritual roles and refrain from making predictions about political events.
According to Dr. Tetteh, pastors should prioritize preaching the gospel and offering spiritual guidance to their congregations rather than delving into the realm of politics.
He believes that pastors have a responsibility to promote peace, unity, and spiritual growth within their communities, rather than engaging in partisan activities.
