You don’t have to make your prophecies about elections public – Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council to Pastors

The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council is strongly advising its members and spiritual leaders to exercise restraint in making political prophecies regarding the outcome of the forthcoming 2024 general election.

With political observers anticipating a two-horse race between John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party, the Council’s Secretary, Apostle Immanuel Nii Okuley Tettey, underscores the paramount importance of prioritizing peace over engaging in predictions that could potentially jeopardize the nation’s stability.

In an interview with Citi News, Apostle Tettey expressed the Council’s guidance for religious leaders to redirect their efforts towards promoting peace rather than venturing into the speculative realm of predicting electoral outcomes.

“If God reveals to you, keep it up in prayers. If God reveals to you, keep the person up in prayer, and let’s see God fulfil His prophecies. Don’t try to put it in a public place and we’ve seen it severally in times past that so-called men of God have prophecized that his person is going to win and it didn’t happen” Apostle Tettey added.

He specifically urged these spiritual figures not to seek favor from any particular political party but instead engage in actions that contribute to the overall sustenance of peace within the country.

Apostle Tettey emphasized the wisdom of keeping any divine revelations in prayers, encouraging spiritual leaders to intercede for the individuals involved and allowing God to fulfill His prophecies without necessarily publicizing them.

He highlighted past instances where so-called men of God had made public prophecies about election outcomes that ultimately did not materialize, underscoring the potential risks associated with such public pronouncements.
