A Cape Coast-based minister is calling for a “spiritual filter” to navigate the growing confusion within Ghana’s Christian community, caused by conflicting modern-day prophecies regarding personal lives and the upcoming elections.
Reverend Jepson Ahene of the ICGC Exalted Temple, Kakumdo, warns that while prophecy is a divine gift, many practitioners are currently speaking from their own minds rather than from the Spirit of God.
Reverend Ahene addressed the growing confusion among the public when multiple “revered” men of God give divergent predictions on the same event.
In an interview on the Atlantic wave, he referenced Hezekiah 23, and said some prophets “run when they have not been sent.”
He admitted that even he has faced moments of confusion, particularly regarding political prophecies, but reminded believers that the ultimate test of a prophet is whether the word comes to pass, as God does not lie.
“Sometimes it’s difficult to tell because the whole thing seems to be very confusing…so that is why you need to know and ask God to reveal the source of the prophecy,” he continued.
He argues that many “revelations” targeting family members as witches do not originate from God, but rather serve to cause panic, disintegrate and disorganize families.
He underscored the need for administrative wisdom, noting that even genuine revelations are often meant for private counselling rather than public announcement.
“We need wisdom to be able to speak the mind of God,” he stressed.
