The President of the Council of Zongo Chiefs at Mpasaatia in the Atwima Mponua District of Ashanti Region, Chief Abdulai Mohammed has stressed the need for the pastors in the country to stop focusing on prophecies and instead, preach the word of God which leads to salvation.
He noted that many pastors in the country have in these days resorted to come out with prophecies that have no justifications to their definitions.
He has therefore urged the police boss to renew his earlier caution to the pastors who fake prophecies to stop the acts or be compelled to spill the bean.
Speaking to the Correspondent in a telephone interview, Chief Abdulai observed that those pastors who resort to prophecies need to be cautioned because some of their prophecies tend to be threatening or false.
He sited instances where a renowned Prophet in Accra allegedly propheciesed about the death of the national Chief Imam where the said prophecy turned out to be fake.
Ghana Black Star team was prophecised to be a winner in an international football match, but the team was disqualified over poor performance.
Chief Abdulai indicated that at this end time where antisocial vices tend to be a free game with Ghanaians, pastors are expected to preach repentance.
He asked about how pastors today are more interested in giving prophecies whilst they refuse to preach repentance that transform lives of the people in the society.
The Inspector General of Police should swing into action and bring offending pastors to book since the practices are cracking fear and panic among the citizenry, he pointed out.
If you get a prophecy on someone it is prudent you call the person and pray for him or give directions for God’s intervention, but not a matter of threat to put fear in public, chief Abdulai underscored.
The chief was of the opinion that the I.G.P. will rise up and discourage the practice which tend to disrepute the priesthood and for that matter the word of God in general.
