President John Dramani Mahama\u00a0has asked Ghanaians to stop being pessimistic about the state of affairs and count their blessings instead.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us eschew pessimism, we must count our blessings and our successes and we must continuously ask God why are we so blessed; it is only with such a positive frame of mind that we can overcome any challenge facing us\u2026,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2019We have become a nation of pessimists; every day we are bombarded with everything that is wrong with our nation, never with what we are doing right\u2026,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
According to President Mahama this attitude creates a psyche that believes that Ghana is consigned to poverty and misery. \u2018\u2019\u2026 this cannot be the case; this cannot be true, we have made modest but significant success. We must celebrate these successes in other that we may be encouraged to achieve more,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
He was speaking at the 2014\u00a0National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service in Accra on Sunday. He used the occasion to call on Ghanaians o unite and work together and count their blessings.<\/p>\n
The President also noted that Ghanaians lack the \u2018\u2019singleness of purpose, unite of mind and oneness of our hearts\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n
He state that if Ghanaians unite, we can make things better for ourselves and children. \u2018\u2019We can do this only if we believe in ourselves, we can do this if we believe in our nation, we can do this only if we work together, we can do this only if see ourselves as partners in the progress of our nation,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
President Mahama further stated that building a better and create Ghana is the responsibility of all Ghanaians. \u2018\u2019No matter what you do, no matter your occupation, it is the little efforts of all of us Ghanaians that aggregates into the prosperity that we enjoy,\u2019\u2019 he noted.<\/p>\n
Delivering the sermon, Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Charles Palmer Buckle asked President John Mahama to listen to God and lead the government to seek the will of God.<\/p>\n
He said even though President Mahama hears too many voices which makes it difficult for him to hear the voice of God, he should always seek the voice of God when taking decisions.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2019What He [God] ask of you Sir is that you listen to Him [God], What He ask of you and with the government is that you lead us to seek the face of God in everything; what He ask of us is that you lead the government to seek the will of God at all times,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
