Gift of prophecy not for predicting elections – Duncan-Williams

Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams says the gift of prophecy is not meant for predicting elections results.

The general overseer of the Christian Action Faith Ministries said in a recent sermon that was replayed on Radio XYZ’s ‘Voice of Action’ Christian Programme on Sunday July 21, 2013 that: “The prophetic is not for lotto numbers and it is not also to predict the outcome of elections”.

He emphasised that: “The prophetic gift and office is for the Church and it is for the Body of Christ”.

The charismatic archbishop added that the gift of prophecy “…cannot be hijacked and subjected to political matters and issues”.

Ghana’s political scene becomes inundated with prophecies of who and which party wins elections during voting time.

Archbishop Duncan-Williams said he believed that: “That which is of God shall stand and what is not of God shall fail”.

He said whether certain prophecies are “genuine or false, it is not my job to attack and to insult them. You leave them to time. For the Bible says ‘what thing so ever go does shall be forever’, so anything that is of God shall stand and what is not of God withers away with time”.
