As the adage goes that when the river overflows a frog it harshly reacts to express its displeasure.
This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the recent outburst from Prophet Adom Kyei Duah, the popular Kumasi-based founder and leader of the Believers Worship Center in Kumasi..
In a fiery sermonon last Sunday, the man of God broke his silence declaring “enough is enough” regarding what he termed as unwarranted attacks on his ministry.
Prophet Adom Kyei Duah expressed his profound distress over the relentless criticism launched against him by fellow pastors, questioning why he as a full-blooded Ghanaian was being singled out.
Pastors in my country have been out of jealousy attacking me for no wrongdoing, he lamented adding, but today I am speaking with authority that if you’re a Ghanaian, I am also a Ghanaian; if you have a radio station, I also have one; if you are rich, I am also rich; if you have security men, I also have them in abundance.
Therefore, why do you hate me for no offensive acts?”
The core of the controversy appears to be his use of “Soobolo” – a local beverage – in his healing and miracle-working sessions.
Addressing this head-on, Prophet Kyei Duah defiantly stated, I am using Soobolo to heal and perform miracles, and if you do not understand, so what, or you can go to hell.
His declaration left no room for ambiguity, underscoring his conviction in his methods.
He further asserted his divine calling, stating, I have been called by God to save souls and duty-bound to do His work.
KIn a direct jab at his critics, he contrasted his ministry with theirs stating that’s why I don’t feel jealous to criticize the sales of items in your churches amidst defrauding your congregation.
Concluding his impassioned address, Prophet Adom Kyei Duah appealed for peace and an end to the incessant scrutiny. From henceforth, let me enjoy my peace for the Lord’s work, since judgment comes from God,” he declared, reiterating his conviction that his ministry is divinely sanctioned and answerable only to a higher power.
The prophet’s strong words highlight the simmering rivalries and theological disputes within Ghana’s vibrant, yet often contentious, religious landscape, as well as the ongoing debate over the commercialization of faith.
