OBAMA’S GHANAIAN ARRIVAL – THE PRAYER THAT

STOPPED RAIN
Heavy rain was falling on the day of President Obama’s historic visit to Ghana but
ceased a few hours prior to his arrival, apparently due to divine intervention.

Ghanaians awoke on Friday morning to dark

skies and a gloomy forecast on the day they
had anxiously anticipated.
It appeared the celebrations in lieu of the long
awaited arrival of President Obama would be
somewhat tamed by the unpredictable weather,
with rain falling incessantly. However, as Friday
evening approached, soon to the appointed
hour for the presidential arrival, the rain
suddenly subsided to the joy and relief of all.
Reports suggest that divine involvement may
have influenced the weather change.

Prophet TB Joshua, the founder of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations in Lagos, Nigeria, and
mentor to Ghanaian president, John Evans Atta Mills, had earlier sent a message to Ghanaians
that the rain would soon cease, and nothing would hinder Obama’s historic visit. He further
said that the memorable visit would be a success for Ghana, and Africa as a whole. Hours
after his declaration and following supplication, the rain ended. In neighbouring Nigeria
however, the downpour continued with increased venom.

It would be recalled in March 2005 during a crusade in Botswana that Prophet TB Joshua
prayed for rain to fall. As at that time, Botswana was in a period of severe drought, adversely
affecting their farming industry, integral to the nation’s infrastructure. As he offered the
prayer, rain instantly began falling – a divine sign of changes in the nation’s climate. Since
that time, rain has fallen recurrently.

TB Joshua’s prayers are also said to have played a part in Ghana’s recent presidential
elections, with John Evans Atta Mills winning unexpectedly in a closely contested vote. Atta
Mills has been a regular visitor to Joshua’s church in Nigeria, even receiving healing from a
deteriorating eye problem set to ruin his political ambitions. Immediately following his
inauguration, Mills visited The SCOAN for a thanksgiving service where he testified that Joshua
had accurately prophesied specific details of his remarkable three-round election victory.

Obama’s visit to Ghana has further solidified their status as a thriving democratic country in a
continent fraught with electoral fraud and political violence.
