Popular Televangelist Nicholas Osei popularly known as Kumchacha has said God will judge former President Jerry Rawlings for questioning the genuineness of his (Kumchacha’s) spiritual works and miracles.

“I’m not perturbed by Rawlings’ comments. They rather ginger me on. God is happy about the work I do, and others are happy too. People like my preaching, people like me so if Rawlings alone doesn’t, I’m not surprised,” Kumchacha said in an interview with STARR NEWS Monday.

His response to the former Military Leader follows Rawlings’ criticism of some of the miraculous claims made by Kumchacha and Bishop Daniel Obinim.

According to him, the two preachers are misusing the name of God and exploiting the ignorance of their followers, adding that some of the claims often made by Obinim and Kumchacha on TV are not real.

Rawlings has, therefore, asked managers of TV stations and the media to stop giving airtime to Kumchacha, Founder and Leader of the Heaven's Gate Ministries; and Obinim, Founder of the International Gods Way Church, to deceive the public.

Addressing a durbar on Saturday to crown the 2014 Amu (brown rice) Festival of the chiefs and people of the Avatime Traditional Area at Avatime Gbadzeme in the Volta Region, Rawlings advised TV stations to rather dedicate the time they give to the two men, to promoting Ghana’s rich culture, traditions and festivals.

“Many too often as we watch our TVs, I don’t think we are putting enough efforts into showcasing some of these cultural traditional festivals – the activities that are going on around the countryside – and yet so much time is spent giving airtime, precious airtime to people like these two prophets I’ve been talking about of late: the one in Tema, called Obinim and the other one called Kumchacha,” he bemoaned.

“…They are so brave in the kind of things they purport, the kind of things they do. Ladies and gentlemen, when people watch things like this, knowing very well that they are not achieving what they claim they are doing, we end up perpetuating the ignorance and the grip of these people on the ignorance of our people,” Rawlings said.

He added: “The misuse of God’s name is the worst form kind of corruption that we can talk about…and we are paying the serious price for it, and we will continue to do so till we wake to the reality of what is scientifically possible, plausible and doable.”

However, Kumchacha said it will be unfair for any media outlet to deny him access in today’s democratic dispensation which encourages freedom of speech.

“TV stations and Radio stations are even used by fetish priests and mallams so how can anybody deny me access to the media in this democratic dispensation where there is freedom of speech?”
