Thanks you brother Asempa for your wonderful piece. You spoke well and clearly. The truth is that these men cannot perform the miracles jesus peformed. No one today can walk on water or speak to a storm. There was a mission and reason for those miracles.

Many men false men of God pretend toperform miracles because that is what people want. They feel that if you just preach the world truthfully, you wont have a large congregation and the money would not pour in. They want the fame and the money.

It is not good to gain the whole world based on lies. If you have only ten people in your congregation, it is ok. Speak the truth and preach the gospel of Christ.

Kwame, you said it all. You make so much sense. God bless you. Only fools believe these miracle men. These fools are desperate for miracles, they want the miracles badly so they believe anything.

Healing and miracles are not the preserve of Prophets. Bible says "healing is the children's bread"(Matthew 15:26).
The man who was born lame from his mother's womb(Acts 3:2) was around in the days of Jesus, but it was Peter and John who later healed him.

Healing and miracles are not the preserve of Prophets. Bible says "healing is the children's bread"(Matthew 15:26).

SO HOW COME NO ONE CAME FORWARD TO PERFORM THE MIRACLE. THE MEN OF GOD ARE THE ONES PARADING AROUND CLAIMING TO BE PERFORMING MIRACLES AT MIRACLE HEALING CRUSADES. WHERE ARE THE MIRACLES LIKE THE ONE JESUS PERFORMED? WHERE ARE THE MIRACLES? GIVE US ONE EXAMPLE, MR PUMPUNI.

The man who was born lame from his mother's womb(Acts 3:2) was around in the days of Jesus, but it was Peter and John who later healed him

AND NO ONE HAS HEALED A LAME PERSON SINCE THEN. LIKE ASEMPA SAID, THEY ONLY 'HEAL' PEOPLE WHO CAN WALK, IN WHEEL CHAIRS.WHERE ARE THE HEALING OF REAL LAME PEOPLE WITH TWISTED LEGS?

PUMPUNI , CAN WE HAVE SOME ANSWERS? MR ASEMPA WROTE A BRILLIANT, THOUGHT-PROVOKING PIECE.WE ARE BEING LIED TO ALL THE TIME.

CAN YOU GIVE US AN EVIDENCE OF THE MIRACLES MR ASEMPA LISTED? DO YOU HAVE ANY VIDEO ON YOU TUBE OR A PHOTO OR ANY SHRED OF EVIDENCE?

Healing and miracles are not the preserve of Prophets. Bible says "healing is the children's bread"(Matthew 15:26).

THERE HAS BEEN HOLE IN HEART BABIES AND OTHER ILLNESS WHERE WE HAD TO SEND THE BABIES ABROAD. SO FAR, NO HAS DONE WHAT JESUS AND THE APOSTLES DID. THE MIRACLES ARE NOT HERE.

The man who was born lame from his mother's womb(Acts 3:2) was around in the days of Jesus, but it was Peter and John who later healed him

BECAUSE JESUS DID NOT MEET EVERY SICK PERSON IN THE LAND. HE COULD NOT BE EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME TIME. HAS ANY MAN OF GOD HEALED A LAME PERSON OR LEPER TODAY? NO NO NO ! I HAVE WATCHES MANY CLIPS ON YOU TUBE AND ASEMPA IS RIGHT, IT IS THE SAME OLE 'MIRACLES'.

YES OTHERS CAN PERSON MIRACLES BUT NO ONE HAS YET. NO ONE COMES FORWARD WHEN WE HAVE ISSUES LIKE THE CONJOINED TWINS.

THE WISDOM IS FORGET AT THE MEN OF GOD AND LETS MAKE OUR HOSPITALS AND EQUIPMENT GOOD.

You need lessons on "The Theology of Healing and Miracles".
Theology is the only topic where every lay man becomes an expert.
Next time try writing on medicine.
You are most likely a nominal Christian.

Theology is the only topic where every lay man becomes an expert.

MR ASEMPA IS NOT CLAIMING TO BE AN EXPERT. HE HAS POSED MANY BRILLIANT QUESTIONS. WE HAVE BEOME ZOMBIE CHRISTIANS IN GHANA. WE HAVE BEEN FOOLED AND CONED BY ALL MANNER OF FAKE PASTORS.

THANKS TO KWAME ASEMPA. I THINK THIS IS A BRILLIANT ARTICLE. PLEASE GIVE US MORE NEXT TIME.

when the pastor uses a cell phone, he is using a scientific miracle. when the pastor drives a posh car, he is driving German engineering miracle.

the other miracle of praying for manna from heaven if for lazy africans eho refuse to use their brains.

This is not the time to run to Jesus, Peter or Mark. Neither is it the time to blame the procedure used or the equipment used.

Hindsight is 20/20, but I seriously wished we had invited Dr. Ben Carson and his team from JHU Hospital to participate in this complex surgery. Blaming evil forces, Abayiefuo and the"unqualified doctors" for the demise of the babies is the height of chalrtanry.

Dr. Nimako and his courageous team should not in any way feel depressed and defeated.
Even the world-renowned Dr. Carson lost a couple of battles in his attempt to separate conjoined twins.

As this famous neurosurgeon famously said,
"Do your best and let God do the rest."
"Any one who can't learn from other people's mistakes simply can't learn, and that's all there is to it. There's value in the wrong way of doing things. The knowledge gained from errors contributes to our knowledge base."

From Think Big: Unleasing Your Potential For Excellence, by Ben Carson.

A minister was talking to a children's Sunday School class about kindness to animals. He spoke about the Biblical references to substantiate his case.
"Now let's suppose," he said, " that you saw a bad person cutting off the tail of a cat. What Biblical quotation would you use to tell him of the terrible wrong he was doing?"

"Sir, I would point out to him," one of the students said, "What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. (Matthew. 19:v6)"

i have been to SCOAN and seen how Joshua operates. He is a very shrewd con man. He is very good at tricking people. All his miracles are fake. But they are good fakes.

Surely, he has done his part, as "Gifted Hands", but maybe he will continue his mercy work and consult on such cases, especially those in the 3rd world.

It saddened me to read that the KNUST Doctors did not know that the conjoined twins shared intestines...

This error is either due not having the requisite equipment to make this diagnosis, or the team of doctors do not have the experience and thus should not have attempted to play "God" my going forward with the operation...

Dr.Carson and His at Baltimore would never, ever attempt such operation without anticipating or diagnosis such possibilities....

Although I am happy that Ghanaian doctors are trying to champion new courses in medical advancement, I would hope that they cross their t's and dot their i's before attempting such advance and life threatening medical treatments!

Either way, those twins were in a precarious condition anyway....

Better luck next time KNUST!

God allows certain things to happen, so that He will be glorified. The situation was hyped as if man was in charge; as if God made a mistake amd man was going to correct it to proof how 'wrong' God was. i believe healing is not reserved for pastor, prophets, etc. but healing comes to anyone who has te faith and i believe the parents were the best to have exercised that faith (from hearing the mother being interviewed). the unfortunate point is that we rush to doctors and put our faith in them. who then gets the glory after the miracle. Doctors dont do miracles but practice science! faith comes by hearing the word of God and not the words of man! Rom. 15:4kjv is my advise to put our faith in God and not man, if we want to experience His miracle. Amen

The situation was hyped as if man was in charge; as if God made a mistake amd man was going to correct it to proof how 'wrong' God was.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE HYPE. HYPE IS ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE SOLUTION IS BEING PREPARED. YES, NATURE MADE A MISTAKE, AND MAN HAD TO CORRECT IT. THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. A CHILD WITH HOLE- IN -HEART IS OPERATED ON, AND THE HEART FIXED BY DOCTORS.

i believe healing is not reserved for pastor, prophets, etc. but healing comes to anyone who has te faith

A GOOD MEDICAL SYSTEM IS WHAT OUR NATION NEEDS, NOT FAITH HEALING. THE NATIONS THAT ARE HEALTHIEST AND LIVE LONGEST DEPEND ON DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS NOT FAITH. NATIONS LIKE JAPAN, CHINA AND SWEDEN. THEY DEPEND ON THEMSELVES. THEY BELIEVE IN THEIR ABILITY TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS. WE WANT GOD TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS?

and i believe the parents were the best to have exercised that faith (from hearing the mother being interviewed).

PLEASE DO NOT BLAME THE PARENTS. FAITH WOULD NOT SOLVE OUR ELECTRICITY OR WATER PROBLEMS. NATIONS HAVE SOLVED THESE PROBLEMS NOT BASED ON FAITH, BUT ON PRACTICAL, SCIENTIFC WAYS.
LETS FACE THE TRUTH. GERMANY IS NOT GERMANY BECAUSE OF FAITH OR PRAYERS. IT IS HARD WORK, VISON, SCIENCE AND TECH EDUCATION.

the unfortunate point is that we rush to doctors and put our faith in them.

GERMANY, JAPAN, SWEDEN ETC PUT THEIR FAITH IN DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS AND THESE PEOPLE LIVE FAR LONGER THAN US. THEY ARE HEALTHIER AND HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS OF LIVING. GOD HAS GIVEN US THE BRAINS TO PLAN OUR LIVES WITH HARD WORK AND INTELLIGENCE.

who then gets the glory after the miracle. Doctors dont do miracles but practice science!

THE NATIONS THAT DEPEND ON SCIENCE ARE THE ONES THAT WE GO TO TO BORROW MONEY. THEY DID NOT BECOME RICH BY PRAYING AND FASTING. THAT IS THE TRUTH. WHILE WE ARE PRAYING, THEY ARE WORKING.

faith comes by hearing the word of God and not the words of man! Rom. 15:4kjv is my advise to put our faith in God and not man, if we want to experience His miracle. Amen

FAITH AND PRAYERS IS NOT WHAT DEVELOPED JAPAN, CHINA AND GERMANY. IT IS HARD WORK, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION. FAITH DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE BEST HOSPITALS, GOOD HIGHWAYS AND SUPER COMPUTERS.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE A BEGGAR NATION. WE BEG FROM THE CHINESE WHO DONT KNOW JESUS. WAKE UP AFRICANS! WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE!

Well said. Until our people embrace science and mathematics we will continue to wallow in ignorance. We will be at the mercy of fleecing charlatans. Libraries are closed or empty but churches are full. Structures that were once factories and ware-houses are now churches with ridiculous-sounding names. In certain parts of Accra, the ratio of houses to churches is close to 30:1. Is it surprising that we are under-developed?

KWAME mo! mo! MO ne kasa, Aren't we tied of them. They deceive the vulnerable in society for their luxurious life styles. Because of BAD governance, majority of GHANIANS believe in fake miracles and prophecies, the economy is bad the politicians are crooks,(read their rent allowances and emoluments) SEE WAYOME CASE, How about the purchase of aircrafts initiated by late Pres, Mills,See Ghana at 50 and other deeds by people in government! the whole nation is in economic ruins so these killer prophets have the advantage of establishing fake ministries., prayer camps.Lack of jobs compels the Ghanian to attend unnecessary prayer sessions called ALLNIGHTS, How many prayer all nights do people attend in AMERICAS and EUROPE here where we are engulfed in OVERNIGHTS and DOUBLE schedules. Until our leaders transform our economy to let the GHANIAN understand what REAL PRODUCTION means, we shall continue to follows these fake and shameful pastors. See their outputs, their luxurious cars they ride, their copper and gold chain/necklaces and watches. Is it the life style of SAVIOR JESUS or any of his deciples? the answer is BIG NO. OH GOD, ALLAH, JAH, ONYANKOPONG, save us from these Men of DEVIL.

Human beings by nature are rather suspicious of their environment. Hence, the need for a belief system to help explain what humans cannot decipher. A lot of mankind has gotten over such suspicious beliefs through science and intelligent reasoning.

Sadly, most Africans continue to not only subscribe to such ante-diluvial beliefs and suspicions; such beliefs have grown exponentially over the past two decades, fueled by con men of the sort you so aptly describe.

The only miracle abounding, is that there are enough gullible people to believe hustlers like TB Joshua and his ilk!

Mr Asempa

I could understand your lamentations regarding our "men of God". You are not alone la.

Far back in 1988 or so, Chairman JJ Rawlings challenged our Men Of God to simply go to the State School for the Deaf and Dumb or whatever, and perform miracles!

I very well remember this. So we need not ask our "Holy Men of God" to speak to the Volta River to partiton, or do what Jesus was said to have done.

Whether it is TB Joshua or whatever, they should simply go to the school where people cannot hear, and make them hear la!

That is their challenge. I believe JJR's challenge still holds till today.
