Founder and Head Pastor of Perez Chapel International, Bishop Agyinasare, has cautioned the Police Service against its decision to analyse prophecies to ascertain potential breaches of the directive against fear-inducing prophecies.
According to Bishop Agyinasare, the Service must not use "their scarce resources in trying to analyze our prophecies."
The Police Service in a statement dated January 6, stated that multiple footages from December 31, 2021, at crossover services are in its custody and anyone found culpable in the videos subjected to the analysis, will be put before the court.
While delivering a sermon on Sunday, January 9, Bishop Agyinasare indicated that the Police is trying to legislate prophecies, adding that the Police may end up trying to dictate to pastors what they can preach or not. An act he spoke against.
"If we are not careful, very soon, they will be analyzing our sermons, telling us what to preach... So I want to admonish the police administration that they have done their best. They have told us to be careful about our prophecies that cause danger and panic. They should please not get into wanting to legislate prophesy because they do not have what it takes to legislate prophesy," he said.
He insisted that such responsibilities lie on the shoulders of "spiritual people" and pledged that "we will make sure that there will be no confusion."
Meanwhile, Bishop Agyinasare has noted that the Police is in the right for cautioning pastors against prophecies that cause fear and panic, especially those that have to do with notable personalities.
According to him, the New Testament in 1 Corinthians 14:3, views prophesy as "edification, exaltation and comfort"
On December 27, last year, the Police in a statement cautioned religious groups and leaders to be measured in their prophetic utterances ahead of the December 31 watch night services.
They urged religious leaders to ensure their prophecies do not injure the right of others and the public interest.
“We, therefore, wish to caution all Ghanaians, especially religious groups and leaders, to be measured in their utterances, especially how they communicate prophecies, which may injure the right of others and the public interest,” the Service said.
Many including the President of Ghana Charismatic and Pentecostal Council (GPCC), Reverend Prof. Paul Frimpong Manso, welcomed the Service's directive.
