Mahama will never say, ‘stand on your feet before you greet me’ – Owusu-Bempah drags Akufo-Addo

Founder and leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempeh, praised President John Dramani Mahama while addressing his congregation on Sunday, January 4, 2025.

He said he would continue to pray for President Mahama to sustain the good works he has begun, which he noted many Ghanaians can attest to.

Rev Owusu-Bempeh said what he admires most about Mahama is his humility, referring to a viral video showing the president sitting among church members during a service.

“When I speak about the president, please understand why I do so. When you go before the Lord, pray for the president of Ghana, and continue to do the good works without blemish, spotless. I admire his humility, the way he does things, and the way he talks.

“He went to church, and when he got there, there was a presidential seat reserved for the seat he and his wife were supposed to sit on. But when he went there, he didn’t go and sit on that chair. He didn’t sit in the midst of the elders or pastors… He’s the president of Ghana, but he sat in the congregation like any member of the church,” Owusu-Bempah said in Twi.

He later made a subtle comparison with former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, saying Mahama would never demand that people stand before greeting him.

“This is what we call humility. He does not make himself or think of himself more highly than he ought to. He wouldn’t say to you, ‘stand on your feet before you greet me,’” he said.
