Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia marked the Easter period with a series of visits to churches, where he extended Easter greetings to Christians.
One notable visit was to the premises of Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, the founder of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, in Accra.
During his visit, Bawumia received prayers and sat on Rev. Owusu-Bempah’s chair, a gesture symbolizing blessings and respect. The reverend also commended Bawumia, affirming his character as good and his heart as pure.
After the prayer session, Bawumia addressed the congregation briefly, sharing a message of hope and encouragement before departing.
A short video clip of Bawumia’s address, in which he reportedly referenced a verse from the Holy Scriptures, has been circulating on social media.
“If you go to the Book of Zachariah 4:1, what does it say, “It is not by might nor by power, but by the spirit of the Lord Almighty” he stated to applause.
Those sharing the video of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s address have questioned whether he correctly quoted the verse from the Bible, suggesting a mix-up.
According to those referencing the New King James Version of the Bible, Bawumia quoted Zechariah 4:6 instead of Zechariah 4:1.
Zechariah 4:6 NKJV reads: “So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the LORD of hosts.”
Zechariah 4:1 NKJV, on the other hand, reads: “Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.”
