OBAMAS GHANAIAN ARRIVAL THE PRAYER THATSTOPPED RAIN
Heavy rain was falling on the day of President Obamas historic
visit to Ghana butceased a few hours prior to his arrival,
apparently due to divine intervention.
Ghanaians awoke on Friday morning to dark
skies and a gloomy forecast on the day theyhad anxiously
anticipated.It appeared the celebrations in lieu of the longawaited
arrival of President Obama would besomewhat tamed by the
unpredictable weather,with rain falling incessantly. However, as
Fridayevening approached, soon to the appointedhour for the
presidential arrival, the rainsuddenly subsided to the joy and
relief of all.Reports suggest that divine involvement mayhave
influenced the weather change.
Prophet TB Joshua, the founder of The Synagogue Church Of All
Nations in Lagos, Nigeria, andmentor to Ghanaian president, John
Evans Atta Mills, had earlier sent a message to Ghanaiansthat the
rain would soon cease, and nothing would hinder Obamas historic
visit. He furthersaid that the memorable visit would be a success
for Ghana, and Africa as a whole. Hoursafter his declaration and
following supplication, the rain ended. In neighbouring
Nigeriahowever, the downpour continued with increased venom.
It would be recalled in March 2005 during a crusade in Botswana
that Prophet TB Joshuaprayed for rain to fall. As at that time,
Botswana was in a period of severe drought, adverselyaffecting
their farming industry, integral to the nations infrastructure. As
he offered theprayer, rain instantly began falling a divine sign of
changes in the nations climate. Since
that time, rain has fallen recurrently.
TB Joshuas prayers are also said to have played a part in Ghanas
recent presidentialelections, with John Evans Atta Mills winning
unexpectedly in a closely contested vote. AttaMills has been a
regular visitor to Joshuas church in Nigeria, even receiving
healing from adeteriorating eye problem set to ruin his political
ambitions. Immediately following hisinauguration, Mills visited The
SCOAN for a thanksgiving service where he testified that Joshuahad
accurately prophesied specific details of his remarkable
three-round election victory.
Obamas visit to Ghana has further solidified their status as a
thriving democratic country in acontinent fraught with electoral
fraud and political violence.
