The Chairman of the National Peace Council, Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Kwaku Asante has admonished Ghanaian prophets not to create misperception in the country with New Year revelations.

According to him, certain church leaders are exercising over-spiritualization in making themselves known through their words believing that such defines their loyalty and intimacy with God.

Ghana has been a victim of New Year prophecies especially during watch night service on December 31st. Leaders of certain churches rain out prophecies to determine the fate and destiny of the country in every aspect of national activities assessing from politics to entertainment.

Ghana will visit the polls on December to decide the next governor of the land and per the interpretations of the ‘men of God,’ December would be a month of encounter between the two political giants, the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic Congress.

Speaking on Angel FM morning show on Monday, January 6, 2019, Professor Asante called for peace and sanity ahead of the elections and advised the prophets to ban their words from provoking Ghanaians.

“Let’s not create confusion with prophesies. That is not why God gave them. A prophesy must come to comfort, edify and exhort men. It should not threaten to create panic and chaos among the citizens,” he said.

“Over Spiritualization does not help our Christian life. For instance, If a person refuse to wash his hands and get sick after eating, we must not apportion the blame on witchcraft or any other person relating to spiritualism. It is common sense to understand that he is sick as a result of failing to wash the dirt, not a matter of spiritualism,” he added.

He called on Ghanaians to employ wisdom to discern in things pertaining to nature than to have confidence in seers.

“God has given as wisdom as a gift to discern. We must apply it as humans and quit believing in every word certain prophets throw at us,” he uttered.
