'Kumchacha' replies Rawlings: Must I speak big English to be a real Prophet...
Founder and leader of Heaven Gate Ministry,
Prophet Nicholas Osei has said he is not
disconcerted by former President Jerry Rawlings's
assertion that he abuses the name of God to lure
his parishioners.

According to him, in the futurist view of
Christian eschatology, tribulations are relatively
short period of time where everyone will
experience worldwide hardships, disasters, famine,
war, pain, and suffering from one another.

Sounding biblical, Prophet Nicholas Osei,
popularly known as Kumchacha quoted Luke 6:26 to
express his view to Mr. Rawlings that, it will be
wrong if he [Kumchacha] is not criticised.

“Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of
you..for so did their fathers to the false
prophets,” He said.

John Jerry Rawlings who was addressing a durbar on
Saturday to crown the 2014 Amu (brown rice)
Festival of the chiefs and people of the Avatime
Traditional Area at Avatime Gbadzeme in the Volta
Region questioned Kumchacha and the founder and
leader of God's Way International Ministry, Bishop
Daniel Obinim’s motives for misusing the name of
God and manipulating the ignorance of their
followers.

According to him, some of the claims often made by
Obinim and Kumchacha on TV are not real and asked
managers of local TV stations to place an embargo
on their preaching and miracles on their medium.

But in an interview on OKAY FM’s Ade Akye Abia
programme, Prophet Nicholas Osei insisted that he
is a genuine man of God after describing the
former president's claim as “unfortunate”.

“President Rawlings is my father and my former
president, aside that, I will be very glad to have
him as a family member. I really respect him. He
has expressed his opinion and he is entitled to
that. I have served the Lord for so many years and
no one has ever had any claims against me. I
believe in this work, we will face
challengers...even Jesus Christ faced challengers
so I am not worried about Rawlings,” he said.

“I don’t have to speak big English to be a
prophet or to be real. President Rawlings must
know that my work is a calling from God. Does he
[Prez Rawlings] want me to speak big vocabs? May
be with that he will believe I am real,” he
added.
