Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the General Overseer of Action Chapel International, shared a story about his past. He recalled an encounter with military men during the June 4th revolution led by Jerry John Rawlings.
While praying at Aburi Gardens with friends, he felt uneasy. Suddenly, he heard gunshots and felt two bullets hit his shoulders. The group was arrested as enemies of the revolution and taken to Aburi Police Station.
Duncan-Williams explained that they were locked up for days. He believed their arrest was spiritual, saying it was a "demonic arrest." Without cell phones, they couldn't contact anyone for help.
He and his friends prayed for four hours straight. Afterward, a lieutenant stopped by the police station and learned about their situation. He ordered their release, saying if soldiers came back, they should mention him.
Duncan-Williams emphasized that many people have locked destinies. He urged them to rely on divine capabilities instead of just physical strength.
The June 4th Revolution in 1979 was a significant time in Ghana's history. It involved coups against corrupt military governments and led to the formation of the Provisional National Defense Council (PNDC) in 1981. This council later became the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
