Rev Bempah cautions Kwesi Pratt
Founder and leader of Glorious Word Power
Ministries International, Reverend Isaac Owusu
Bempah has advised Kwesi Pratt Jnr, Managing
Editor of the Insight newspaper, to evaluate his
utterances about men of God.

“It is dangerous for Kwesi Pratt to be hiding
behind politics to demean men of God for reasons
best known to him. He should know that God cannot
be mocked.”

Mr. Pratt reportedly said Pastor Mensah Otabil,
founder and General Overseer of ICGC of
International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) was
suffering from ‘high fever’ in a reaction to
his recent declaration.

“I have a sense of heaviness in my spirit
concerning the destiny of this country that there
is something heavy ready to fall upon this country
that, if we don’t take charge of that we will be
in a different state a month from now,” Pastor
Otabil told his congregation at Christ Temple on
Sunday, July 14, 2013.

Even though Mr. Pratt has since denied making
disparaging comments about Pastor Otabil, Bishop
Owusu Bempah told DAILY GUIDE that the attacks on
men of God by so-called social commentators and
surrogates of political parties must cease.

“Men of God, including myself have become
targets and you have these people raining insults
on us anytime we try to offer our opinions on
national issues.

“We should not take some of these prophesies for
granted. We have politicized everything and it is
affecting our country seriously.”

Bishop Bempah urged all pastors to speak against
the ills in society, adding, “For instance, I
will not be perturbed because one day my maker
would want to know from me why I did not speak out
when things were going wrong,”

Turning to the ongoing presidential election
petition, Bishop Bempah made a passionate appeal
to the nine justices hearing the case to consider
Ghana first and deliver justice that will be
acceptable for all the parties in the petition.

“Ghana’s destiny at the moment is in the hands
of the judges and I they will not let the people
of God down.

“I know our eminent judges are capable of
delivering justice and we will continue to ask for
God’s special protection for them to work hard
and put Ghana on a sound footing.”

He said “there is a lot at stake in this case
and we have to prepare ourselves toward the day of
the verdict.”
