Sammy Awuku asserted on Peace FM’s morning show programme “Kokrokoo” that Rev. Owusu-Bempah should be fairly treated by those who have been very critical of his prophecy since he gave similar prophecies which came to pass, prior to the new year.
"Let's be very fair in our criticism of it,” he stated; quoting the scripture; “Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm.”
He told the host Tweneboah Koduah on Tuesday that the prophecy should not be entirely treated with contempt but rather government should heed to the directions of the man of God.
He alluded to some popular prophecies such as the ones in relation to the disturbing inferno and accidents that became the bane of the nation last year. This he said came to pass after Rev. Owusu-Bempah had prophesied.
According to him, prophecies in general do not make sense but it is better to heed the prophetic directions just to ward off any future dangers.
He quizzed: “in the bible, you think prophecies make sense? ...Ask men of God whether prophecies make sense."
Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, a well-known Prophet disclosed in an interview that God has revealed to him President John Mahama will die this year, but the impending calamity could be averted if the entire nation, and most especially the President, sought God’s help through prayers.
According to him, the revelation came to him on the night of December 31, 2012 and he announced it at the Church’s end of year service. He however decried his inability to meet the President and inform him about the dark cloud hanging over his head and the necessary steps to be taken to avert the looming disaster.
“I have not been able to meet the President and inform him. A similar thing happened when I prophesied about the late President Mills, but they turned me away,” he said.
But some other celebrated men of God were unhappy about the Prophet’s claims.
Bishop Charles Agyin-Asare, the General Overseer of the Word Miracle International Church speaking on the issue, described as “pastorally and scripturally unethical” the renowned Prophet’s option of using the media to air his alleged prophesy saying “This is a message designed to create panic and despair.”
Another Renowned Radio Pastor and Head of Cedar Mountain Chapel of the Assemblies of God Church, East Legon, Rev. Dr. Stephen Wengham, also called on the National Security outfit to summon the leader of the Glorious Word Ministry International before them regarding the prophecy about the President.
This he believes will deter some Prophets from prophesying falsehood about the lives of people in the country.
But Sammy Awuku emphasized that the riposte by the Pastors potentially necessitated the response by Rev. Owusu-Bempah. He therefore advised them to also use the right channel to contact the man of God if they have dissenting views.
Reacting to the statement by Bishop Agyin-Asare, he explained; “if he had anything with what his colleague said, personally, two wrongs doesn't make a right. If you are saying Rev. Owusu -Bempah said it publicly and you think it is not ethical, nothing also stops Bishop Agyin-Asare from also picking up a phone to call him."
He wondered why the Pastors have sought to rebuke Rev. Owusu-Bempah, even when he and his congregation have indicated that they will not relent in their efforts to avert the prophecy from coming to pass.
“The Pastor has said it won't dampen his spirit because he's not yet seen the President, but he together with his congregants will pray for him. So, why all this saying about false prophets?" he questioned.
