The leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, Reverend Isaac Owusu-Bempah, has issued a warning to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) regarding attacks on his character by certain party members.
He stated that the NPP will face significant consequences in the upcoming December 7 general elections as a result of these unprovoked assaults.
An NPP member made disparaging remarks about Rev. Owusu-Bempah during a segment on Wontumi TV. The reverend is known for his support of the party and for accurately predicting its victories in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
The NPP member alleged that Rev. Owusu-Bempah had persuaded Archbishop Duncan-Williams and Rev. Dr. Steve Wengam to oppose Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng and undermine the construction of the National Cathedral.
During a sermon to his congregation on September 22, 2024, Rev. Owusu-Bempah shared that he had not planned to respond to the verbal attacks until he saw a video of Apostle Amoako Atta expressing concern over the attacks from NPP supporters against him.
“They accused me of being the devil. I don’t know what sin I’ve committed against these people. How? It is very sad. I decided not to speak about it, but after seeing how angry Apostle Amoako Atta was and his questioning of the conduct of some NPP supporters, I decided to break my silence. Some individuals have apologized to me, but I expected the same man who made the statements to go on the same TV station and apologize. Up until now, I have not heard anything.”
The man of God conveyed his pain regarding the false accusations and insults aimed at him.
“In fact, the man insulted me thoroughly, even saying that it is the devil who speaks to me, not God. And this is coming from a known NPP supporter, speaking on an NPP-affiliated TV station. The saddest part is that everything they said about me was false. The pastor they claimed I met with – I don’t even know him. If he were standing right in front of me, I wouldn’t be able to identify him.
“I’m not part of the pastors on the National Cathedral Board; I don’t even know where the cathedral is being constructed. But still, you sit somewhere and insult me. I’ve never had any discussions with these senior men of God regarding the National Cathedral, yet I’m being vilified.”
Rev. Owusu-Bempah subsequently warned that the NPP will suffer serious repercussions for their actions against him in the forthcoming elections.
“Apostle Amoako Atta warned that this issue will work against the NPP, and they should be careful. What they’ve done to me will really work against them. We’re all in Ghana, and we shall see. You offended me, and I was hurt by it. You apologized, and now you’ve turned around and started again with the lies.
“We are all here in Ghana. I am not God, but I am a prophet of God. Both heaven and earth bear witness that I am indeed a prophet of God. We have about 76 days to the elections, and we shall see! Why are members of the NPP insulting and falsely accusing me of successfully fighting to block the National Cathedral project from proceeding,” Rev. Owusu-Bempah asked?
