Trust me! Ghana is doomed if, may God forbid, Kobina Kennedy becomes president! Don't get me wrong! The Almighty God is foremost in everything! He has, however, endowed us with large brains to enable us go about our daily lives without him being bothered! To ignore our brains and suggest that "prayers" is the way to rescue our currency not only smacks our intelligence but makes mockery of our humanity!
What makes it more alarming is when a doctor---who wants be a president, concurs such an unorthodox measure to liberate our cabbage!
This a big sign of desperation! I would pardon Duncan Williams for such suggestion but for Arthur K to agree with him? PLEASE!

The question is so simple. Did the pastor ask the gov't not to do anything but trust him to revive the value of the cedi? Did he also pray for new innovative ideas from the government to fix the economy? If not what's the big beef about a prayer of a private citizen? Does his prayers stops anybody from fixing the economy? People have too much time on their hands.

I've argued and told pple that, if you are a believer in the supernatural, then it'd be hypocritical to criticise Bishop Duncan-Williams unless, of course, you are liberal believer. But that's not the position Arthur K is arguing here. His is a rationalisation based on faith, the efficacy of prayer with references to precedences.
In logic, the fact that the sun rises from the east for the last eon years (if you are a Christian, the last 6000+ yrs) doesn't mean it'd rise from the east tomorrow. So cos the Americans had done something since their indep doesn't make that thing correct!
Besides, Arthur K displayed a lack of appreciation for the rhetorical ethics religion plays in the WASP culture of the US, a role excellently explained in Marimba Ani's Yurugu:....
In brief, this justification is simply another indulgence in the religious obscurantism of the wannabe, less developing Ghanaian elite whose psyche is firmly rooted in the Weberian primitive substantive rationality.
Been planning to write an article of my own on this issue, so won't be elaborate here.

Ghanaians spends several hours in church worshiping and dancing while the folks who introduced them to Christianity spend about an hour at church, and then go home to use their God given brains to strategize to improve themselves and their country.
Ghana should be utopia by now considering the time spent in worshipping but then compare the standard of living and economy of the developed countries that spend less time worshipping God to Ghana and see who God has really blessed.

NONSENSE! I wrote. No, it is Arthur K an dthose who think like him that are the real shams, not me and those who oppose metaphysical gibberish!
Of course, truth and logical validity always don't match, just as statistical proof isn't always the truth but it is still not unacceptable to contradict the "truth values" they hold without proper derivation negating them. I don't want to debate FUE Logic with you, as I went beyond that. What I am pointing out is the utter pity that the reasoning of our so-called elite is NOT even up to the level of FUE Logic, as it is flawed on all counts!
Above all, their cosmological evolution is still at the primitive, substantive level of their unlettered ancestors in spite of their "plenty, plenty education"! Yes, where emotional intelligence reigns supreme instead of rational and scientific intelligence!
Yes, hallucinations are also real, so if next time you are consumed by emotions and feel like flying from the 13th floor of a skyscraper without the aid of a parachute, tell someone besides you to grab hold of you, buddy.:-)

Doc, I think you have misunderstood those of us who criticised the Duncan William command on the cedi. It's not because we do not believe in God or His/Her omnipotence. On the contrary, and again, because we also believe in the saying that "God helps those who help themselves". We cannot expect God to stop the cedi falling when the leadership of the country are bereft of good economic policies (fiscal and monetary).
If you read my article on Sunday ("Is President Mahama Already Eating the Bones"), I gave some examples of policies and actions that the Mahama government has implemented that has led to the pressure on the cedi against the dollar. That is the crust of the matter and therefore unless these policies issues are addressed, no prayers will result in the appreciation of the cedi. Action must accompany prayers.
If you seriously believe that Duncan Williams command will work without any other measures, then good luck. Do you believe that had Ghanaians not taken appropriate measures such as asking the two presidential candidates, the political parties and their supporters to accept the results of the elections to ensure that the country remained peaceful during and after the elections but just prayed to God, there would have been peace?
Could you answer this question? Why despite Ghanaians praying to God daily for the economy to improve, Ghana's economy remains weak? The answer is simple. It's because prayers alone will not improve the economy. Above all, Ghanaians must support their prayers with a hard work, a commitment to fight corruption, to reduce indiscipline and respect the laws, rules and regulations; for the leadership to develop and implement effective socio-economic and political policies, etc in support of the prayers. How can Ghana's economy improve with all the corruption after praying to God? How can the country develop with all the lawlessness and impunity in the country after praying to God? Remember, discipline is a cardinal principle of every faith.
It's actually hypocritical for Duncan Williams to believe that his command will work without the necessary policy implementation. He knows himself that no matter how many prayers he offers to God, if his congregation do not come to church weekly and daily to give offerings he would not be rich.
God has given us as humans to be rational, analytical, critical, etc in our actions but not to follow blindly so that we are not misled. Challenging the absurdity is not hypocritical or ungodly.

I was even told that that great fall was not the first but that there was a similar great fall in takoradi. if a pastor would stand in their mist in a congress in Kumasi and declare that there was a devil coming from the north and that everybody should point his or her fingers to drive it away then one wonders if they were really pastors of the good lord. I believe they worship shrines and not the almighty GOD!

Thank u very much. I support u 100%. I'm not a pastor but I'm surprised @ some pastors’ & wht they said abt the Arch Bishop's prayers. Let Tony, Kwesi & others talk the way they do. But not pastors. We hv two entities tht rule the world. The Holy spirit & the evil. The evil does everything bad & since it is also a spirit uses anything at all to operate. It cud be human, animal, tree, money, sea jst everything & so our money can be possessed & needed deliverance. The devil controsl ppls money such tht they work hard yet gain nothing. Ppl labour in vain & it is the evil spirit tht is @ work. So pastors like Benny Wood & co. must know this. Nobody has also said prayers alone can save the economy. The Prez. & his men are not jst sitting down, they are working. All other Christians pray yet work. The Bible states that if we believe, we can say to the mountain to move into the sea and it will. In it added that we cud do greater things than wht he JESUS did only if we believe. So ask yrslf, if mountains can be moved by belief in prayers how can't a mere paper/coin in the form of money be commanded to rise in JESUS name? It will surely rise in JESUS name Amen. Prayer is very important & we need it all the time.All those making a mockery of this shd rather renew their minds and pray for forgiveness.

all those who criticized my dear papa for praying for the cedi to regain itself are all npp dogs and sycophants because when the elephant was riding high during those horrible days and Ghanaians were sweating under their misrule, they sent pastors to the kia and akosombo to pray for the Ghana airways to get back on it's feet and also water to pour into the akosombo river for the dam to be up and doing and yet we did not hear the likes of sir john, kweku baako, the Methodist pastors who are today behaving as if Ghana is on fire say the kind of things they are saying. upon all the prayers on Ghana airways, nothing positive came but they rather seized the opportunity to buy for themselves landed properties of Ghana airways at cheap prizes and also used the opportunity to milk us the more. to them, it is good when prayers are said in their time but not good when prayers are said in other party's time. hypocrites of the highest order!

Obed, there are different types of prayer and different things you do when praying. There are times you have to command in prayer. The bible says, 'thou shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee...' (Job 22v28). The word 'decree' here also means, 'declare' or 'command'. So you can decree or command in prayer. When you are commanding, you are not directly praying to God but rather directly addressing the challenge you are confronted with. And if God has commanded you to do so, then His integrity is committed to confirm or bring to pass what He has He has instructed you to command. Jesus commanded Lazarus to come forth. He commanded the sea and the wind and they obeyed Him. He spoke to the fig tree and it withered from its root. Joshua was not a prophet but he commanded the sun and moon to stay so he could finish his enemies and they obeyed (Jos 10v12-14).
Why? In the realm of the spirit everything hears, whether animate or inanimate things. You can declare, decree or command that 'no weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper.....'(Isa 54v17) and so shall it stand, provided you don't doubt what you are saying.
The prophets of old commanded, declared or decreed and it came to pass. But we are operating under a better covenant and better promises than them. All is a question of whether you have accepted Jesus as your personal LORD and Saviour and know the authority you have as a believer in Christ.
So Obed if you have done that then know of a certainty you can command a thing and it shall answer to your command, whether animate or inanimate things, including the cedi.

Arthur k is either confused or disingenuous. No Ghanaian mocks the role of faith in our lives or the centrality of God in human affairs. What they deride is Duncan Williams kind of fraudulent theology that seeks to teach that he could command God to manifest instant physical results such as, make the cedi rise against the dollar. This is a dangerous theology. It supposes that humans no longer need be diligent in the conduct of our affairs. We can misconduct ourselves and waste our resources but avoid the natural and physical consequences by commanding God to intervene in the results through a special dispensation. For us to derive that special dispensation to effect a rise in the cedi against the dollar, God must of necessity grant us favor against the USA. There is no evidence or basis to suppose that God would hurt the US currency in order that Ghana would benefit.
let's consider the example of an alcoholic who squanders his pay on booze before paying his rent. Such a man cannot expect to dodge the natural consequence of his choices, that is, eviction by his landlord. Duncan Williams' command of the cedi to rise is tantamount to commanding God to directly supply money into the pockets of this alcoholic. It's a fraudulent and foolish prayer because the bible does not teach that kind of blatant intervention in the lives of nations by God. Even manna was a special dispensation to the Israelites when they were stranded in the dessert. Since then God has expected them to feed themselves through work. The days of manna, i.e. the days of reaping fruit where one has not sown, are gone. And I am sure Duncan Williams knows this. I am happy that Ghanaian commentators saw through DW's fraudulent theology. Arthur Kennedy should help teach Ghanaians to value work and diligent effort, not expectations of divine dispensation. It is strange that a man who practiced medicine the US for many years would recommend DW's ethics and theology.

Some churches are involved in all sorts of philanthropic activities. They bring a lot of foreign currency into the country for these purposes. However there are many churches, especially the Nigerian churches, which don't bring any foreign currency into this country. They are able to collect from their church members in cedis amounts of enormous proportions. They then buy US dollars or euros and then either transfer it to Nigeria through swift transfers or drive it from Ghana into Nigeria. Any Nigerian church involved in such activities must be shut down by the BOG.
Any Nigerian who wants to purchase foreign currency with cedis must be given Nigerian Naira or CFA Franc.

Too many pastors in Ghana and they are growing in confidence because most of the people are ignorant. The economy in falling apart because Mahama led NDC have all their focus on how to make the party strong politically and financially and rule Ghana forever. Look how much they spend on the elections, the development partners were even angry about that. We as a nation must wake up and speak the truth about the job being done by our leaders, it does not matter if Mahama is your tribesman or even a brother. He must put Ghana firs ahead of party or tribal interest. He must stop awarding juicy contracts to party supporters like Woyomi, it is the totality of the fruits of such actions that have resulted in the poor performance of the economy and the fall of the cedi.

Why is it too difficult for we so called "intellectuals" to realize how ignorant we sometimes can be about certain issues..We raise our voices against anything to the extend of even saying God does not matter in this issue. Please let me remind you, he created you and can do what he so pleases... it is easier for a Ghanaian to seek the face of God when he sees signs of war than when the nation's currency is experiencing a down-drought...If really we as "intellectuals" are thinking about leaving God out of this dilemma, only for human efforts to cause the rise of the cedi..then it is a fallacy.. Wake up critics we need God more in this issue.. Read Deuteronomy 8:18...

What has gone wrong with Arthur K? Is he still looking for the nomination of NPP? And lacks ideas that will keep him in the public eye or looking for the Jusus- votes? Otherwise he does not make sense. Akans believe in God, but do not invoke God for war. God does not regulate the Cedi. Its that simple, duncan williams notwithstanding.

Arthur Kennedy,don't confuse yourself.
No one said prayer is irrelevant.Even more confounding are examples you cite.
Prayer without well programmed plans in the first place,and a spelled-out directions, Stringent Economic Policies and Financial Reforms would not work anywhere in the world.
Do you know how the American $ became the # 1 global Currency?. It was through plans, hard work, prudent economic and financial policies and reforms,continuity,Common Sense approach to resolve issues in humane way or manner,patriotism devoid of Greed, again,simple Common Sense approach, and simple intuitive strategic advise on which the leadership at the time acted. The last but not the least, prayer among other things from the beginning.
Therefore,it is not because it is written on the Notes "In God We Trust" that is why the American dollars is #1.No,Arthur. We have to use our heads to plan for the Nation for the future,and desist from thinking about our individual "Stomachs" when we are in the position of authority.
To be continued.

Arthur Kenedy is as ignorant and as selective as an npp person can be.
He seems to imply that christianity guarantees the success of nations but that is nonsense.
Isreal was decimated and its people exiled and enslaved 100 years after Jesus (a jew) walked its territory. The holy roman empire also was sacked and destroyed by germanic barbarians 500 years after it had become christian and establishe dthe 5 first christian centers, constaninople also fell to the turks/ottomans, in more recent times, the british empire collapsed in the 1900's, the portuguese -great catholics and slavers- have dwindled in importance or influeence and are stuck in a messy financial situation ditto Spain - another great catholic an slaving nation. one of the most christian nations in Europe - ireland is a poor, miserable nation covered in churches and christian movements. in the USA the poorest state is mississipi which is also the most christian and religiously fundamental state in the USA (the most christian state is the poorest????)
Arthur K, must come again, he is superstitious and that makes him ignorant. NO GOD CAN CARE ABOUT MONEY!!! otherwise that god is a fake and useless god. there are more valuable and meaningful things in nature to bother about than money. just shows how fake this so called Duncan williams is,
