Prophet Kofi Oduro, the General Overseer of Alabaster International Ministries, has fired shots at the Presidential Envoy on Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, following his calls for the submission of prophecies to his office for review.
According to Prophet Kofi Oduro, the prophecy door must be shut, as Ghana does not need an office for reviewing prophecies.
He asserted that Ghana needs hospitals, schools and roads, but the government is opening doors for nonsense.
Speaking to his congregation, Prophet Oduro stated, “We are here talking nonsense. If someone receives a prophecy, he should bring it. What kind of nonsense is that? Do you know the nonsense prophecies some people want to prophesy?
Shut that door, we don’t need it, we need Hospitals, we need schools, look at the rubbish roads we have, and you are opening a table for what nonsense”, he added.
Also, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah has told Ghanaian Prophets that their prophecies about death are enough.
According to Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, his office was not set only for receiving prophecies.
Elvis Afriyie Ankrah asserted that if the prophet receives prophecy about Ghana becoming like Malaysia, Singapore or South Korea, then come see me.
The Presidential Envoy on Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations is quoted by GH ONE TV to have said, “Enough of your death prophecies, my office isn’t for receiving prophecies”.
“I’m praying for the day our prophets and seers will have a vision of a Ghana that is transformed and prosperous. If you have any prophecy about Ghana becoming like Malaysia, Singapore or South Korea, then come see me”.
He had earlier revealed that they had received plenty of new prophecies, which are undergoing review.
According to Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, his office has received a lot of prophecies.
Speaking to the media, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah stated, “We have received plenty, oh my goodness, there is somebody who is a dedicated volunteer. I don’t want to give numbers, but it is plenty, believe me. It should be more than 200. Like I said, I don’t want to play the numbers game”.
He further justified the government’s decision to receive and review prophecies about the nation.
The presidential envoy emphasised that about 70–80% of prophecies have no substance, but the 20 per cent deserved some probe.
Afriyie Ankrah detailed, “By and large, 70–80% is of no substance. Then you look at the rest of the 20% and you sift through, and maybe 2–3–5% may deserve some further probe. It’s not a full-time job or an office set up solely to receive prophecies; that’s not how it works.”
“If you say a Ghana Air Force plane is going to crash, whichever way, it’s a security matter. Those specific ones, we are saying, don’t put it out there in a raw form that will create problems. We’ve created a WhatsApp platform and an email address. Send it to us, and then we will review,” he said.
He further added, “Testing means there is room for review, to assess and evaluate, because some will definitely be chaff. There’s a lot that is completely bogus and will be discarded. But there may be a few that have some substance.”
According to Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, the Presidential Envoy on Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations, it was not set up solely to receive and review prophecies.
He added, “I got my appointment letter about two weeks ago. People didn’t know about the office, so when the statement came out, maybe some thought an office had been set up solely to collect prophecies. That’s why you saw all those memes. But the office is meant to coordinate with all religious bodies, Christian, Muslim, and others, to help foster unity and oneness in the country.”
He further emphasised the importance of his work, adding that religion plays a dominant role in Ghanaian life.
“If you look at the last population census, the religious community constitutes over 90% of the population. They are critical in society. Governance is about protecting and advancing the interests of citizens, and faith is part of our social reality”.
