The Ghana Police Service via a release last Monday cautioned men of God to be circumspect in their prophetic duties.
In a subsequent media interaction, the Director of Public Affairs for the police, ACP Kwesi Ofori has reiterated that the police will effect the arrest of any pastor who will issue a prophecy that may lead to fear and panic, and as well cause the prosecution of such prophets.
Responding further to the police, the Man of God called on prophets called on his colleagues to be extremely circumspect in going about their duties. He noted that the police by their actions may be leading the nation to the biblical age where prophets were persecuted for doing their work.
“My job here is to also call on all the churches, apostles and prophets to be very careful how you prophesy before you end up in jail because of prophecy. When a man says if you are not careful about your prophecy you’ll end up in jail, it’s taking you back to the days of Daniel.
“Daniel ended up in a lion's den because of prayer. Jeremiah ended up in prison because of prophecy, Isiah died in prison because of prophecy. So it is coming back,” he stated.
