Organizer of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yaw
Boateng Gyan, has debunked claims that the leadership of the party has
met with the Leader and Founder of the Glorious Word Ministry
International, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, over his ‘death prophecy’ about
President John Mahama.
Rev. Owusu Bempah has been making the news
headlines recently by courting controversy when he prophesied the
likely death of President Mahama which according to him, if nothing is
done by the President and his advisors to avert the calamity, will come
to pass this year.
The prophecy stirred the passion of some
religious leaders, political figures and the entire nation judging by
the vehement registration of displeasure directed at the renowned man of
God.
Following the disturbing revelation, some bigwigs of the
ruling party were reported to have met with him (Owusu Bempah), under
the cover of darkness, on how best to nullify the prophecy.
But Yaw Boateng Gyan, speaking on Okay FM, stridently denied the allegation.
He
told Kwame Nkrumah “Tikese”, host of the show that it is a palpable lie
if anyone should claim that NDC gurus have clandestinely held a meeting
with the man of God in a quest for solution to the danger hovering over
the President’s head.
“I was thrown into a state of shock when I heard it. I don’t know the NDC leaders they are referring to,” he said.
He
stressed that “No NDC Executive has met with him…as I speak now,
beginning from Dr. Kwabena Adjei to the Regional and constituency
executives, I have not heard any of them say that they have had any
consultation with the man of God.”
Reacting to the statement by
the General Overseer of the World Miracle Church International, Bishop
Charles Agyin-Asare on the issue, Yaw Boateng Gyan pointed out that he
(Bishop Agyin-Asare) did not make any offensive remarks but rather only
sought to advice Owusu-Bempah.
To him, Rev. Owusu Bempah should
have consulted with his associate Pastors to pray for President Mahama
but not to make a public declaration of the prophecy. He wondered why
God only reveals things bordering on disaster to men of God.
“His
church consists of NDC and NPP congregants. So, if you say something of
this sort to your church members and as a man of God, you expect them
to disseminate the information publicly to redeem souls. So, no prophecy
was revealed about Ghana’s oil find other than those election and death
prophecies…it appears God does not reveal to these men of God our
prosperities. But is it just prophecies that spell doom that God gives
to them? If it happens like this, it leaves some of us to think that
they are Prophets of doom.” he said.
He advised Ghanaians to be wary of such prophecies.
“In
this world, if God wants to help you; he won’t descend from above to
help you. He works through human beings. The same way the devil works
through human beings to destroy. So, let’s be watchful and desist from
matters like this because it won’t help the nation,” Yaw Boateng. |
