... warns against false prophets
... God will soon pour his anger on Ghana, if
The leader of Nyame Nti Prayer and Herbal Healing Camp, Prophet Job Kofi Anim, says the increasing spate of false prophets could pose great danger for Ghana if the nation does not take steps to stop that situation.
Speaking to pressmen at his prayer camp at Gomoa Dominase on Monday, Prophet Anim said, God has warned him through a vision to caution President John Agyekum Kufuor and Ghanaians to be more prayerful as a way of waging war against false prophets in Ghana, lest there is danger awaiting the country in its forward march to progress.
According to him, God will soon pour his anger on Ghana if the trend continues as it is today, hence the need for President Kufuor to put in place effective measures to halt the activities of false prophets.
He cautioned the government to stand firm and institute laws that would hold men of God in check in their day-to-day activities to help eliminate and expose false prophets and prophetesses in the country.
Prophet Kofi Anim admitted that though it would not be easy for President Kufuor to do that, he urged the President not to hesitate in taking such an action, since the danger awaiting the country from his inaction is very terrible.
He also urged Ghanaians to change their attitudes towards seeking prophetic revelations all the time and look to God for direction.
Prophet Anim expressed the view that many false prophets are now in the country looking for easy ways to amass wealth instead of preaching God's word to the listening public, hence the need for the citizenry to be careful not to fall victims to those false prophets.
He attributed the increasing rate of crime and murder to some activities of false prophets, which he said, have provoked God's anger, which is threatening to split the nation into pieces if effective measures are not put in place to check the trend.
Prophet Kofi Anim stressed that the danger awaiting the country, if not forestalled, could have some negative impact on the 2008 general elections.
He then called on heads of churches to come together as one entity to fight the activities of false prophets, who are damaging the image of the true men of God.
He touched on the indiscipline that has taken root among the youth, and called on the youth to work hard to promote the image of Ghana.
