However, the man of God claimed that he succeeded in changing Mr Mahama's mind after telling him about a prophecy which pointed to his victory in 2024.
Speaking on the Asetena Pa show, Prophet Gyimah said when the prophecy came, he reached out to a close associate of the former president who helped him to speak to him about it.
"Someone spoke to him on the phone and he said he wasn't going to contest the election again, but I told him that the decision was not his, but God's and that God wants him to contest the election because he was going to be Ghana's president in 2025.," he said.
The pastor said he did not make the prophecy public because he did not want to make noise about it but reached out to the right people within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the former president's office to act on it.
Prophet Gyimah further stated that the former president was divinely elected to lead the country to fulfil a certain purpose God had for Ghana.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Apostle Eric Okai, Senior Pastor of Elim Church advised his fellow men of God to be mindful of their prophecies during elections.
"My little advice is that we must learn the scriptures understand and believe in ourselves and Get close to our God. Don't make any declaration because you are likely to fail since the election is won by a majority vote by the people," he said.
