Stop the alien spiritual practice - Prophet Tawiah cautions

Prophet Kwabena Tawiah, General Overseer of the Church of Rabbi at Ofankor near Amasaman in the Greater Accra Region, has called on politicians to stop engaging in spiritual practices alien to the worship of God.

Prophet Tawiah, who was speaking to the Ghana News Agency at his church premises, said such spiritual practices would bring about untold economic hardships, frequent blood shedding through accidents and death of prominent personalities in the country.

“We the Prophets in Ghana always pray to God to uproot those bad spirits, but every time Ghanaian politicians come back with different spirits from outside and until they put a stop to them the country would find it difficult to make a head way in its developmental agenda,” he said.

He said there are a number of good prophets in the country and that Ghanaians should trust and believe in what they prophecy concerning the nation and the citizenry.

“This would encourage us to go on our knees to call on the Almighty God to intervene to prevent whatever calamities that are about to befall the country and the people,” the General Overseer said.

“The usage of blood and foreign spirits are becoming too much in Ghana and it is about time we the prophets and religious leaders rose up to tell the perpetrators, to put a stop to them and rather depend on God for the nation to make progress.

Prophet Tawiah asked God to grant President John Dramani Mahama the strength, courage and wisdom to successfully carry out the funeral of the late President John Evans Atta Mills and also give him (Mahama) the peace to govern the country for the rest of the months to this year’s Election in December.

He also advised the President to always pray to God to overcome any obstacle that would befall his way because the task ahead of him is very enormous.**
