Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Dr. Mensa Otabil, leader of ICGC, has raised worries about the behavior of certain pastors in Ghana, claiming that their actions are harming the clergy’s image.
He emphasized that the public’s increasing lack of trust in church leaders is a result of their irresponsible behavior and controversial statements. Pastor Otabil also highlighted the absence of regulation in the religious industry, permitting individuals to use titles such as “prophet” and “bishop” without appropriate oversight.
“People see the power that comes with being part of a charismatic church, but what I see is a looming danger. The public’s trust in us is crumbling,” he said. He further noted, “These days, when someone claims to be a prophet, it’s almost synonymous with being a fraudster. We have taken sacred roles, once held by figures like Isaiah and Jeremiah, and turned them into something cheap.”
Following a series of controversial predictions, including Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah’s forecast that former President John Dramani Mahama will emerge victorious in the 2024 elections, his remarks have fueled discussions.
