HonAtta Akyea Urges Ghanaians to Dismiss Rev. Owusu-Bempah’s Prophecy
Samuel Atta Akyea, the Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South representing the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged Ghanaians to disregard the recent prophecy by Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah concerning the 2024 elections.
The MP emphasized that the statements made by the founder and leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministry International should not be viewed as divine projections, but rather as human opinions.
Rev. Owusu-Bempah stated that God has returned leadership of Ghana to former President John Dramani Mahama, the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Known for his previous prophetic support of the NPP, particularly for then-candidate Nana Akufo-Addo, Owusu-Bempah claimed that Mahama’s “pure heart” warranted this divine favor.
During an event titled ‘Mahama Fellowships with the Clergy’ held in Accra on October 1, 2024, Rev. Owusu-Bempah prayed for Mahama and proclaimed,
“He has been installed on the nation’s highest seat in Jesus’ name.” He further conveyed his message in Twi, stating, “During the prayers, this is what the Lord said to me; Due to this man’s pure heart, God has given back this country to him. Nothing can stop it. Amen!”
In response, Atta Akyea cautioned against placing significant weight on such prophecies in an interview with AsaasePa FM on October 2, 2024. He argued that elections should be determined by the will of the people expressed through the ballot box, rather than through supernatural predictions.
He urged citizens to base their decisions on the policies presented to them, rather than prophetic claims. “Democratic processes remain the legitimate means to determine a nation’s leadership,” he asserted, while also respecting the right of spiritual leaders to express their views.
Atta Akyea expressed disappointment that Rev. Owusu-Bempah allowed himself to be used at what he characterized as an NDC political rally, stating,
“I am sad because I know Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah, he shouldn’t have allowed himself to be used at an NDC political rally in the name of spiritual gathering for such a message to come out.” He concluded, “It is human projections; it couldn’t be God’s projection.”
