The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) has stated that it is yet to receive any official correspondence from the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations on the proposed regulation of prophecies deemed to be of national importance.
The statement follows widespread circulation of videos on social media in the aftermath of the 6 August military helicopter crash, which claimed eight lives, including those of two cabinet ministers.
In the videos, certain self-styled prophets claimed to have foreseen the tragedy and issued unheeded warnings.
On Sunday, 10 August, the Office of the Presidential Envoy appealed to religious leaders to formally present any prophecy or spiritual revelation relating to high-profile political figures, governance matters, national security, or public order.
Speaking to Citi FM, GPCC General Secretary, Apostle Immanuel Tettey, said the Council would take an official position once the directive is formally received in writing.
“The GPCC normally will not have such controversial prophecies in the public domain. We have engaged our member churches and leaders. If it is written to us, we shall seek clarification from the office and determine the appropriate course of action,” he remarked.
