Controversial Claim: 93% of Ghanaian Prophets Lacking Credibility
The founder and leader of the Life Assembly Worship Centre in the Greater Accra Region, Rev. Christian Kwabena Andrews, has strongly criticised some prophetic pastors in Ghana, accusing them of bringing disrepute to the pastoral ministry through sensational and life-threatening prophecies.
Speaking on Accra 100.5 FM, Monday, August 11, 2025, Rev. Andrews, also known as Osofo Kyiri Abosom and also leads the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), claimed that “93 per cent” of such prophets are “jokers” who lack seriousness in their calling.
He said many of them thrive on public attention, issuing alarming predictions about national leaders without first engaging them privately.
“God reveals to redeem,” he stressed, “but these so-called prophets reveal and then walk away without offering solutions.”
Rev. Andrews recalled a time when he privately delivered a prophecy concerning the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
Instead of going public, he contacted the Manhyia Palace directly, discussed the matter, and worked towards a resolution.
“After the meeting, the King thanked me for the mature way I handled it,” he noted, questioning why others choose national television to broadcast personal prophecies about leaders.
His remarks came in reference to a recent prophecy from a Prophet Fire Oja predicting that Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah would die in a plane crash.
Tragically, eight people—including Dr. Boamah—later lost their lives in a Ghana Armed Forces Z-9 helicopter crash while on an official flight to Obuasi in the Ashanti Region.
