Renowned preacher and founder of Believers’ House of Worship International, Apostle Abraham Lamptey, has sparked discussions with his recent statement emphasizing the need for spiritual discernment to truly honor and respect Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. Speaking during a sermon in Accra, the Apostle highlighted the Vice President’s contributions to national development and urged Ghanaians to adopt a spiritual perspective in their assessment of leadership.

Apostle Lamptey, known for his thought-provoking teachings, described Dr. Bawumia as a “divinely placed leader” whose vision and dedication deserve acknowledgment. He argued that materialistic or political biases often cloud people’s judgment, preventing them from appreciating the good works of leaders.

“It takes spiritual eyes to see and honor a man like Dr. Bawumia,” Apostle Lamptey stated. “His resilience, intellect, and heart for this nation are evident, but it takes more than just the physical to understand the depth of his impact.”

The preacher cited biblical principles to back his statement, drawing parallels between Dr. Bawumia’s leadership and the challenges faced by biblical figures in gaining acceptance from their communities. He encouraged Christians and all Ghanaians to look beyond party lines and appreciate leaders who exhibit commitment to national progress.

Apostle Lamptey also highlighted some of the Vice President’s key achievements, including advancements in digitization, economic reform strategies, and efforts to promote inclusivity in governance. According to him, these milestones reflect qualities of wisdom and foresight that should not go unnoticed.

The sermon has since gained traction on social media, sparking mixed reactions. While many applauded Apostle Lamptey for his boldness and insight, others viewed the statement as an endorsement of a political figure, which some argue is inappropriate for religious leaders.

In response to the discussions, Apostle Lamptey clarified that his comments were not politically motivated but aimed at fostering a culture of respect and gratitude in leadership.

“The Bible teaches us to honor those in authority, and that is what I stand for,” he explained. “It’s not about politics; it’s about recognizing God’s hand in the affairs of men.”

As the nation gears up for upcoming elections, Apostle Lamptey’s message serves as a call for reflection on how Ghanaians engage with their leaders and the role of spirituality in governance.
