Some Muslim youth wielding machetes and other crude weapons on Wednesday afternoon attacked and vandalised the Odorkor branch of the Glorious Word and Power Ministries International in Accra.
The Church, headed by Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah, was attacked following death prophecies he released on New Year’s Eve. Click to read
The attack on the Odorkor branch of the church, was the youths’ way of expressing their fury against some prophecies made by the leader of the church during Monday’s watch night service.
They threatened to deal with Rev Owusu Bempah till he comes out to apologise for the ‘prophecies of doom’.
They destroyed the signboard at the church premises before heading into the main auditorium.
In reaction to the attack on his facebook page, Rev Owusu Bempah quoted from Matthew 16:18 which says "...I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it".
"Let’s pray for the church and let’s be strong as Christians," the post added.
The controversial prophet made several predictions during the 31st December service in his church, noting that several prominent men, including an ex-president and a former first lady, would die in the course of the year.
The prophet also stated in his revelation that a National Islamic funeral beckon which would be the funeral of a Vice President of a sitting president and a Chief Imam, if nothing is done to avert the doom.

'In reaction to the attack on his facebook page, Rev Owusu Bempah quoted from Matthew 16:18 which says "...I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it". Let Mr, Owusu Bempah know that if he does not act right his church can collapse. It does not mean that the church of God has collapsed. Where is Amen & Amen church? Where are other controversial churches that sprang up example "Apraku my daughter church'. Be careful!
Owusu Bempah and co are all fake and trouble makers. Ghana is not a jungleeee. It is a country of rule of law which the President and the executive, the Parliament the Judicially, the Security Services and all citizens must protect. In this Owusu Bempah Saga, those who embarked on the attack on persons and destruction of properties must be sought to face the law. If they think their rights and freedom were infringed upon they should report the matter to the appropriate authorities for redress. What the Muslim Youth did was brutishhh and uncivilized. On the other hand, Owusu Bempah must also be arrested and charged for embarking on action which was potential to incite to cause violence and indeed it did cause fear tension and violence. We expect the police, the Courts Parliament, the Presidency and all in Ghana to be up-and-coming in this 2019 to avoid senselesss disorder in the country. The whole world, especially, Africa is looking to Ghana with hope and we should not disappoint them. It is time we go Rwanda way to revolutionize religion in Ghana. Fr.POP
WE HAVE INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENTS IN GHANA WHO ARE AFRAID OF THESE FAKE PASTORS.THE GOVERNMENT OF AKUFFO ADDO SHOULD NOT ENCOURAGE THESE PASTORS BUT RESTRICT THEMBY NOT ALLOWING THEM MEDIA ATTENTION.HOW CAN PASTORS COME TO ADVERTISE ON TV TO DOUBLE PEOPLES MONEY OR CONJURE MONEY FOR PEOPLE AND THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING.WHAT SOCIETY DO WE LIVE IN AT ALL.AKUFFO ADDO'S GOVERNMENT MUST ACT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.OWUSU PEMPAH CAN NEVER BUILD ANY CHURCH HIS CHURCH WILL FALL.THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF CHURCH JESUS CHRIST ASKED HIS DISCIPLES AND FOLLOWERS TO ESTABLISH.
In Ghana, many people despise Chinese goods but when China is now on the moon trying to establish a space station that can house people for a longer time, we are prophesying about who will die. We need to grow, Ghanaians beyond pettiness.
ple will now understand why Ebony was killed. She was killed to make the public belief in their prophecies so that when they say something about u then u will run to them for help and that is where they will milk u like cow. If they say you will die and you dont go and see them, they will kill you. Amissah-Arthur on my mind. this scam must stop! enough is enough. Now 31st December nights has turned into the battle of death prophecies. Someone said the stories in the bible is mostly about we Africans and I think he may be right. Because the number of African prophets we have is more than those in Europe and the Americas. In fact, I am still searching for a prophet who is a white man. Why have we chose to hide behind religion to brain wash our people?
honestly, i dont like to tag anyone as a fake prophet or pastor or whatever. But these people need to stop that n0ns3ns3 of death prophecies. if u tell me, i will die this year if something is not done to avert it, u have killed me psychologically and that will give your prophecy about 99% boost to be fulfilled. It's absolute n0ns3ns3 and must stop. every year this person is going to die. what do they stand to achieve with all those prophecies. Seriously, i think its a way to put fear and panic in those people to make them become their subjects where they can control them. We all loved this Christian faith whilst growing up but the actions of some of these so-called believers is pushing people away on daily basis. Is this their way to tell us that all we believed in was fake?
Jeremiah 14:14 say it all. read it and know the truth
The church of this idiooooot should be closed down and abolished.
Many of such fake prophesies have come over the years yet nobody attacked anybody. This s!lly act confirms the violent nature of these groups of people. Much as I don't believe in those prophesies and condemn it, using such violence and beating up a security man is primitive. It is time they wean themselves of the VIOLENT tag that is almost becoming legitimized.
I have been listening to a number of FM stations across the country and it is sad to hear how Adom FM Presenters speaking as if there’s water in their Brians. Instead of condemning the attack of the Muslin Youth on Owusu Bempah’s church for peace to prevail, they are making things worse as if two wrongs make a right. They speak as if they know something better but I wish they could hear themselves after to hear how folly they sound. No wonder decent people like Kofi Adoma & Ohemaa are on their way out.
