It is not about what you can get but rather it is about what you can do for people and God will bless you. The bible says that where a great leader rules the people are blessed. If it is God’s will, I will be President of Ghana but if it is not His will, I will not be. So far nothing has brought me to the conclusion that God don’t want me to become President of Ghana.
