Most Rev Daniel Yinkah Sarfo, Archbishop Primate of the Anglican Church of the Province of West Africa, has asked all prophets of doom in Ghana to shut up because God has done a lot of good for the country for which he deserves commendation.
According to him, the peace Ghanaians have enjoyed over the years following successive changes in government alone should be reason for Ghanaians, including prophets, to be thankful to God instead of always prophesying doom for the country.
His comments come at a time Prophet Reindorf Oduro Gyebi, founder of God’s Crown Chapel in Daaban, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, claimed that he prophesied about the Kintampo Waterfall accident that has killed 18 students a week ago.
Prophet Gyebi, in a follow-up interview with Chief Jerry Forson, host of Ghana Yensom, on Accra100.5FM on Monday 20 March, indicated that there was going to be more of such calamities in the country.
“Let me add that there is going to be another calamity in Ghana that will kill several people, and so there is the need for the Christian Council to declare a national prayer day to prevent it,” he said.
However, speaking in an interview with Chief Jerry Forson on Wednesday March 22, Most Rev Yinkah Sarfo said: “I will want to tell all Ghanaians to ignore those prophets of doom, they are not from the true God. These prophets of doom should shut up because they are not from the true God.
“Sometimes they do that to put fear in people who will in turn seek help from them at a cost so they enrich themselves.
“Instead of making prophecies that will ensure that the country progresses, they are only interested in prophecies of despair, they are always prophesying doom for the country. I want to repeat that these prophets of doom should shut up. God really loves Ghana, he has done a lot for us. Even the fact that we have over the years transferred power from one political party to the other on several occasions peacefully, should tell us that God has been good to us and he deserves our praise. These prophets should praise God for what he has done for the country rather than always crediting the devil. They should shut up, the prophets of doom should shut up.”

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A BISHOP IS TALKING LIKE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT GOD AND THE BIBLE. GOD DOES PROPHESY ABOUT DOOM MANY TIMES ESPECIALLY WHEN THE NATION SINS AGAINST HIM. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, GHANA HAS SWAYED AWAY FROM GOD. READ THE BOOK OF NUMBERS, WHEN THE ISRAELITES REBELED AGAINST GOD, HE TOLD MOSES TO TELL THEM TO NOT GO TO THE PROMISED LAND BECAUSE IF THEY DO THEY WILL DIE. DID THEY LISTEN, NOOOOOO, THEY WENT ON TO THE LAND. THEY WERE ALL CAPTURED AND KILLED. THOSE WHO ESCAPED WERE CHASED OUT OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY. THE BIBLE IS FULL OF PROPHESIES OF DOOM. WHEN GOD SPEAKS, IT IS UP TO US TO LISTEN TO HIM. IF THE PEOPLE HAD LISTENED TO THE PROPHESY, THIS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A PROPHESY OF DOOM AS YOU CALL IT. THEY WERE STUBBORN AND DIDN'T LISTEN TO GOD'S VOICE. FOR A WHOLE BISSHOP TO TALK LIKE THIS SCARES ME. GHANA NEEDS GOD AND PRAYERS, SO PLEASE DON'T SPEAK OUT OF IGNORANCE BECAUSE AT THIS MOMENT THAT IS HOW YOU SOUND....IGNORANCE. GO BACK AND READ YOUR BIBLE AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT LISTENING TO GOD'S VOICE OVER A DARK PROPHESY IS THE ONLY WAY TO AVERTING IT...NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS. IF YOU DON'T LISTEN WHEN HE SAYS DON'T GO AND YOU GO, YOU WILL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DISOBEDIENCE.
Bishop, all you know is how to do your one -sided surrepticious advocacy against Mahama for Nana Addo to be ellected. You have lost your spiritua1 eyes to see such things and warn Ghanaians. What is your use if it is not to see, alert the people the people and save them from calamity? You are just wasting the offerings of the poor in your church.
Please, read the bible very carefully and sop making statements out of ignorance. There are good prophets and bad ones as well. The bible says any prophets that gives a prophecy that does not come to pass is not from God. So if the prophecy is fulfilled it means, it is from God. That's why the bible says God reveals to redeem. God can only reveal through his good prophets and don't expect all prophesies to be good ones.
Well said and its time these ***barred word*** and silly so called prophets praying on the ***barred word*** and weak in society be made to ***barred word***. That is why i miss Jerry John Rawlings, ***barred word*** prophesying doom would not have had a field day...God has done a lot for ghana and he does not wish doom for us.KWASIASEMAKWA
If you did not see and hear,with all respect keep quiet and let those who saw and heard speak. which country in the world can boast of Gods goodness than Israel, yet prophets prophesized that israel will go into captivity, and it came to pass, not once not twice. As much as there are false prophets, there are equally prophets who are called of God. In any case, who said prophesy is all about good things. He should give us a break
