Apostle Dr.
Opoku Onyinah, a former Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, has called on Ghanaian pastors to desist from prophesying the outcome of elections in the country publicly.
According to him, such prophecies create confusion within the Christian community, as many pastors tend to make conflicting predictions about election results. "The National Peace Council of Ghana recently organised a forum in Accra for prophets, aimed at helping them in handling their prophetic messages responsibly to avoid inciting unrest in the upcoming election. "I had the privilege of serving as the facilitator.
During our discussions, one prophet raised the concern that politicians in Ghana often show little respect for pastors and prophets, despite seeking their support during election years. "In response, I pointed out that, in many cases, it is we, the pastors and prophets, who may contribute to this lack of respect.
