In a powerful and unambiguous declaration Very Rev. Anthony Kwarteng a respected founder and leader of the Christ Power Miracle Mission Church in Accra Dome Kwabenya has issued a stern charge against what he labels as gambling pastors.
He has therefore called upon these individuals to cease their fake prophecies that he believes are disturbing the peace of Ghanaians and instead find legitimate employment to contribute positively to the nation’s economic development.
Speaking in an interview, Rev. Kwarteng expressed profound dismay at a growing trend of what he described as out of laziness and a craving for quick money many citizens are allegedly misusing the Bible to dupe the society.
He lamented the far-reaching negative consequences of such actions emphasizing that these individuals often have no call from God yet they tag themselves with big religious titles amidst wearing strange fashions for the people to believe that they are true men of God.
In a stark warning Rev. Kwarteng reminded Ghanaians of the Biblical caution that Satan usually transforms itself as an Angel of light and deceive people urging the public to be discerning and vigilant.
The cleric further decried the daily deluge of prophecies flooding the country, questioning their origin and authenticity. Have Ghanaians ever taken the pain to investigate the background of those prophecy pastors, their source of prophecy and lifestyle?” he queried, highlighting a critical lack of scrutiny.
Rev. Kwarteng asserted that the prevalence of prophecies in the country has reached an alarming level, advocating for direct government intervention to authenticate these pronouncements.
This he acknowledged would be a controversial move given the constitutional right to freedom of worship, but he argued its necessity for the good of the society.
He pointedly challenged the efficacy of these widespread prophecies by asking that If prophecies have the potential to reform our so-called prophets, have they ever prophesied about the prosperity of the country to be real since the independence of the country?”
This rhetorical question underscored his belief that despite the abundance of prophetic utterances, there has been a noticeable absence of positive tangible prophecies concerning Ghana’s sustained national development.
Rev. Kwarteng’s comments serve as a clarion call for introspection within the religious community and a challenge to Ghanaians to critically evaluate the spiritual leadership they follow, urging a shift from deceptive practices towards genuine contribution to society.
