The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) says it has not yet received formal communication from the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations regarding the proposed review of prophecies of national significance.
The clarification comes in the wake of viral videos on social media following the August 6 helicopter crash that killed eight people, including two cabinet ministers. In the videos, some self-proclaimed men of God claimed they had foreseen the crash in visions and issued warnings that were ignored.
On Sunday, August 10, the Office of the Presidential Envoy urged religious leaders to formally submit any prophecy or spiritual insight concerning high-profile political figures, governance, national security, or public stability.
GPCC General Secretary, Apostle Immanuel Tettey, stated that the Council would only respond once the directive is officially communicated in writing.
He explained that GPCC normally would not allow such controversial prophecies to be made public and had already spoken to its member churches and leaders.
He added that if the directive was sent to them in writing, they would seek clarification with the Office before deciding on the next steps.
