Marketing communications Director for the Opposition Nationwide Democratic Congress (NDC) Sammy Gyamfi has asked the particular Inspector General of Law enforcement George Akuffo Dampare to learn his bible well. He or she contends that if the IGP who is an Elder with his Church reads the particular Bible well, he wouldn’t caution Pastors and Prophets against telling the world the actual Lord has revealed to all of them on 31st December. “The IGP who I am informed is an Elder in his cathedral should read his Scriptures well. I think he will excel if he focuses on their core mandate of battling crime instead of meddling within matters of faith. ”He said “For me, the void of prophecy is an issue associated with spirituality, faith and perception. If you don’t believe in it, do not listen or pay attention to this. It’s as simple as that will. But if you you believe inside it, know that God reveals in order to redeem. And that all prophecies are for exhortation, edification and comfort”. The Ghana Police Service has released a warning to Ghanaians especially religious leaders towards false prophecies ahead of Dec 31st night service. In a declaration released on Monday, Dec 27, 2021, the police informed that under Ghanaian regulation, it is a crime for a individual to publish or reproduce the statement, rumour, or statement which is likely to cause fearfulness and alarm to the community or to disturb the public peacefulness, where that person has no proof to prove that the declaration, rumour or report holds true. “We, therefore , wish to extreme care all Ghanaians, especially spiritual groups and leaders to become measured in their utterances, specifically how they communicate prophecies, which might injure the right of others as well as the public interest, ” portion of the Police statement has said. Study His Post BelowMy Alfredia brethren, even though we all know there are charlatans occupying pulpits in numerous churches today, we must accelerate slowly on the attempts simply by some people to regulate and criminalize prophecy. We do know there are fake prophets just as you will find fake doctors, fake attorneys and so on. The Bible lets us know to beware of fake Prophets and has given us a typical for testing all mood so we can determine who will be of God and that is not of God. Allow us to therefore be careful that we tend not to support an agenda that can have got dire consequences on the function of genuine men associated with God (not just Prophets), and the Church in general. Like a lawyer, I cannot fathom exactly how on earth, any prophecy, such as the ones about possible fatalities of people, can be said to make up the offense of fake publication or fear plus panic. Firstly, if you have confidence in prophecy, then you must be familiar with divine principle that governs prophecy in the word associated with God which is; God uncovers to redeem. Every prediction about you is thus for your good and not your own destruction. We know from the scriptures (Corinthians 14: 3) that will prophecy is for three details; exhortation, edification and Convenience. This is why one cannot fairly say that a word associated with prophecy has caused a person fear and panic. Pertaining to God reveals to receive and the Bible shows all of us how to avert undesirable prophecies. Secondly, if you don’t believe in prediction, then you must not even pay attention to or pay attention to same. You can not reasonably be heard to state that a prophetic word provides caused you fear plus panic when you profess to not believe in prophecy. That’s the contradiction. How can you be afraid associated with something you don’t trust in? Also, on the issue showing how and where prophecies needs to be delivered, we must note that The almighty, the giver of the present of prophecy is sovereign. He can lead or immediate a prophet to deliver a particular prophetic word to a particular person in private. Within much the same way, God in the sovereignty can lead or immediate a Prophet to deliver the word of prophecy widely. For instance, Prophet Jonah shipped his prophecy about the devastation of Nineveh publicly. The particular Bible is replete along with several of such examples. When it comes to ridiculous threat that Prophets must back their prophecies with evidence or else are going to charged for with the criminal offense of False Publication, the very least said about it the better. Definitely, that position stems from a definite misunderstanding of the gift associated with prophecy. One of the meanings or even dimensions of prophecy can be foretelling. So how can Prophets be reasonably expected to predict things they already have proof of? Does that even seem sensible? From the days of Moses in order to Jesus and to this existing Church age, no prophet has ever adduced or even provided evidence to reinforcement their prophecies. When Frederick prophesied about famine within Egypt, did he provide Pharoah any evidence in order to buttress this Prophecy? How about our Lord Jesus Christ, when he prophesied in regards to the destruction of Jerusalem? Prophet Uebert Angel did not adduce any evidence to support their prophecy about the Westgate Shopping mall attack in Kenya within the year 2013 yet this happened as he prophesied. I could go on and on. Also, we all know from the Bible that prophecies usually come by way of thoughts, dreams etc . So what really does the IGP mean whenever he says that prophecies should be backed by facts or even evidence? Is he anticipating Prophets to carry cameras in to the realm of the spirit in order to record the visions plus dreams God shows all of them? And is any such “spiritual evidence” admissible in law? Aaahba!!!! For me, the issue of prophecy is definitely an issue of spirituality, trust and belief. If you don’t rely on it, don’t listen or even pay attention to it. It’s as easy as that. But if a person you believe in it, know that The almighty reveals to redeem. Which all prophecies are pertaining to exhortation, edification and comfort and ease. At worst, an individual upset by a word of prediction can seek legal treatment in tort. The 1992 Constitution of Ghana ensures all persons in Ghana the right to freely exercise their religion and to reveal same. Why then a few people trying to criminalize and regulate prophecies? The IGP who I am told is definitely an Elder in his church ought to read his Bible nicely. I think he will do well in the event that he focuses on his primary mandate of fighting criminal offense instead of meddling in issues of faithSammy Gyamfi Esq.
