Prophet Kofi Oduro has made fun of prophets who could not ‘prophesy’ during December 31 watch night services due to a police directive that cautioned against ‘reckless prophecies’.
Addressing his congregation on Sunday after a crossover service, Prophet Oduro mocked the ‘men of God’ and described them as ‘cowards’ and ‘faint-hearted’.
He said they were lucky to have stayed away from doom prophecies; otherwise, they would have laughed at the wrong side of their mouth.
“The prophecies have been locked in rooms. I didn’t know Ghanaian prophets feared Police arrest. You are cowards.
‘Are you afraid of five years imprisonment? The righteous are bold as a lion,’ Prophet Oduro said amid intermittent laughter.
“Some people are afraid of the police station. When Dampare was at Lapaz checking the state of security in the area, people were in their churches complaining that he is preventing them from prophesying.”
“If you are a man, prophesy and say needless things. You are dead when you are arrested and sent to Tesano or Accra Command and finally remanded at Nsawam. You will have sores all over your backside by the time you return.”
Prophets accuse the Ghana Police Service of ‘restraining’ religious leaders from freely giving prophecies about people in the country.
One such prophet, Nigel Gaisie, told his congregants on December 31, 2021, that his prophecies were not about Ghana or persons in Ghana but a country called Umuofia.
“I am not talking to the people of Ghana because of the repressive system going on in Ghana. I am not talking about the topographical, geographical land called Ghana. I am prophesying to a nation called Umuofia,” he said.
Prophet Kofi Oduro disagrees with that assertion. He believes if the prophecies are from God, there should not be any constraint in delivering them.
