Prophecies and Political Strategy in Elections: Can They Be Reconciled?

Prophecies and Political Strategy in Elections: Can They Be Reconciled?
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

With less than 95 days to the 2024 general elections, Ghana has seen a wave of prophecies from spiritualists and prophets predicting the outcome. As a Christian, I firmly believe in the Bible, yet I also respect other religious beliefs. As a politician, I know that political strategy is crucial for any serious political organization.

This raises an important question: how do we reconcile spiritual revelations with political strategy?

Interestingly, some prominent prophets in Ghana have prophesied victory for either the New Patriotic Party (NPP) or the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Reports from platforms like GhanaWeb suggest that these prophecies are almost evenly split between the two parties.

This led me to ask myself: has God divided Himself into two parts—one for NDC and one for NPP? As someone who believes in God, the Bible, and in men of God, I wonder, can God really reveal two contradictory outcomes for the same election?

Is it possible that God has given these prophets different revelations so they can battle for a “spiritual swing,” or does He not concern Himself with the outcome, leaving it to us? In this context, is political strategy relevant, or is the spiritual battle the decisive factor? Should politicians focus more on spiritual revelations than on strategy, or does the one who successfully combines both win the election?

We can draw a parallel from the Bible. In Numbers 20:10-13, Moses was instructed by God to speak to a rock to bring water for the Israelites, but out of frustration, he struck the rock instead. This disobedience cost Moses his chance to enter the Promised Land. While Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, his failure to strictly follow God’s command left him just short of his goal.

This incident raises a key question: can prophecies fail if their instructions are not followed to the letter? Could the same be true for prophecies about elections?

In the context of the upcoming 2024 elections, some prophets have claimed that God has revealed an NDC victory, while others have prophesied NPP’s success. This begs the question: can God really deliver two different messages about the same event? And if He has, does it mean the final outcome will depend on who best follows the prophetic instructions?

For me, the answer lies in the balance between prophecy and strategy. While I believe that God has goodwill for all of us, I don’t think He will come down to strategize on our behalf. The reality is that strategy and performance are what separate political parties at the polls. If a government, such as the current NPP administration, has underperformed, it creates an opportunity for the opposition—NDC in this case—to capitalize on that and strategize to win power.

If prophecies are valid, they should cancel each other out. However, if God has truly revealed an NDC victory, then the party must follow the necessary instructions to ensure that outcome.

In conclusion, even if there is a prophecy of victory, it still requires strategy, dedication, and hard work to bring it to fruition. Just as Moses’ frustration and deviation from God’s command cost him his journey to the Promised Land, political leaders can lose focus without proper strategy.

Therefore, while we should respect prophecies, we must not rely solely on them. Political success ultimately depends on hard work, clear strategy, and the ability to act decisively in the interest of the people.

Politicians must not ignore prophecies, but they also should not leave everything to fate. Strategy and effort are what win elections.
