Clergy call for regulation of political prophecies in Ghana

General News
Jesus Ahuofe and Christain Kwabena Andrews

Founder of the New Life Kingdom Chapel, Jesus Ahuofe, has strongly criticised prophets who regularly make predictions about government officials, alleging that many of these so-called revelations are driven by hunger rather than divine inspiration.

Speaking on Ghana Yensom on Accra FM with hosts Kaakyire Kwesi Appea-Apreku and Odehyeba Kofi Essuman, Jesus Ahuofe accused some prophets of fabricating messages to gain attention and personal benefit.

He warned that the trend of sensational political prophecies was tarnishing the reputation of genuine men of God.

“When such prophecies turn out to be false, they not only harm the individuals targeted but also damage the credibility of the church,” he said, urging the public to be discerning and not to believe every prophetic message broadcast on radio or social media.

Adding to the discussion, Prophet Christain Kwabena Andrews, founder and leader of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), proposed a new system for delivering prophecies to government officials.

He suggested banning prophets from physically visiting the Presidency and instead requiring them to submit their messages via official emails for record-keeping and proper evaluation.

According to Prophet Andrews, who is also the founder of the Life Assembly Worship Centre, this approach would help reduce false prophecies, curb unnecessary public panic, and prevent the misuse of prophecy for personal or political agendas.

 

Both religious leaders urged the Christian community and state authorities to take decisive action to regulate prophetic activities in Ghana, stressing that true prophecy should guide, uplift, and edify—not deceive or manipulate.
