In a powerful declaration that has stirred discussions throughout Ghana, Kofi Moshi, a staunch sympathizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) from Kumasi, has asserted that former President John Dramani Mahama’s electoral victory is a sign of divine endorsement rather than the result of prophecies from self-proclaimed prophets.
Speaking to Ghanaians, Moshi urged the public to recognize the hand of God in Mahama’s triumph, distancing it from the dubious predictions made by so-called spiritual guides.
Moshi, a vocal member of the Ashanti branch of the NPP, stated that many of the prophecies circulating in the country attributed to various pastors are little more than gambling attempts rather than genuine spiritual insights. He argued that some notable religious figures, who had confidently predicted victory for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, have now been left scrambling to explain their failed forecasts.
Conversely, pastors who dared to prophesy against Mahama have met with similar outcomes that have bewildered their congregations.
“The reality is, both pro- and anti-Mahama/Bawumia pastors have resorted to gambling tactics,” Moshi remarked. “They know the unpredictability of elections, and their ‘prophecies’ are often based on speculation rather than divine insight.”
This criticism of prophetic practices comes at a time when the credibility of some religious leaders is under scrutiny. Many Ghanaians have noted that some pastors appear to prioritize their financial gain over genuine spiritual guidance, leading to a growing disillusionment within their congregations.
Moshi emphasized the importance of recognizing God’s authority in appointing leaders, pointing out that true power belongs to the Almighty, who guides the destiny of nations.
Instead of attributing electoral victories to mere human predictions, he encouraged citizens to look beyond the claims of charlatans who use religious authority to enrich themselves.
“Let us give glory unto the Lord who has the power to appoint a leader,” he urged. “It’s time we forget about the charlatan pastors who use false means to amass wealth for themselves.”
As discussions around the role of religion in politics continue to evolve in Ghana, Moshi’s statements resonate with many who are seeking a deeper spiritual understanding of the electoral process.
His call to prioritize divine recognition over unreliable prophecies serves as a reminder of the need for genuine faith amidst the noise of opportunist pastors.
