The former president John Mahama has urged the founder of Perez Chapel, Archbishop Charles Agyinasare not to relent in speaking truth to power in Ghana.
Mahama made the call when he joined the religious leader to worship at the Perez Chapel in Accra on Sunday (24 April).
Mahama used the occasion to congratulate Agyinasare on his 60th birthday celebration and elevation as an archbishop.
“I have no doubt that considering the Archbishop’s life as a pastor, his exemplary contribution to the growth of the church and to our national development, he has stood firm in his service to the Lord. He has throughout the years remained steadfast and focused and I have no doubt that his rise to the Level of an Archbishop has been ordained by the good Lord,” Mahama posted on Facebook.
“Congratulations my brother. The Lord has been faithful and will continue to be with you all the days of your life. May I once more express my profound gratitude to you, Archbishop, and take this this opportunity to thank you, my brother, and your congregation for your prayers and support.”
He added: “Lordina the children and myself extend our warm felicitations to you, your family and the church. As our moral voices we expect, you to continue to speak truth to power as you have done over the years. God bless us all.”

I joined the newly ordained Archbishop Charles Agyinasare to worship at his Perez Chapel in Accra on Sunday.
Reverend Agyinasare recently celebrated his 60th birthday before his consecration as Archbishop of the Perez Chapel, formerly World Miracle Church International.
Speaking to the church, I recalled the story of Easter and also wished the congregation a happy Easter.
“Belated birthday wishes especially as I was unable to join you to commemorate the important milestone of 60 years.
Let me state that I have known the Archbishop for many decades… for a very long time, since his days as a young pastor. We are both old now.I have as a politician and former President remained close to the Archbishop and I have on many occasions sought him out for his wise counsel.
I have no doubt that considering the Archbishop’s life as a pastor, his exemplary contribution to the growth of the church and to our national development, he has stood firm in his service to the Lord. He has throughout the years remained steadfast and focused and I have no doubt that his rise to the Level of an Archbishop has been ordained by the good Lord.
Congratulations my brother. The Lord has been faithful and will continue to be with you all the days of your life.
May I once more express my profound gratitude to you, Archbishop, and take this this opportunity to thank you, my brother, and your congregation for your prayers and support.
Lordina the children and myself extend our warm felicitations to you, your family and the church.
As our moral voices we expect, you to continue to speak truth to power as you have done over the years.
God bless us all.
