Some of the fallouts from last weekend’s historic internal elections of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are the queries being heaped upon some ‘prophets’ who feasted with their so-called prophecies.
Matters about the spiritual realm should be handled with reverence and devoid of self-interest and hubris.
We are but human and therefore mortals, creatures of God Almighty with limited knowledge about spiritual matters.
We should be careful in our posturing lest we go beyond our limits by playing God.
The political plane has never been so bombarded with so much electoral prophecies than we witnessed ahead of last week’s elections.
Some features of the prophecies presented their origins, the ‘prophets’, for public opprobrium.
One of the ‘prophets’ told Ghanaians that what God told him earlier had changed, hence the winner.
The political prophesising industry would never be the same again. Let them learn who have eyes and ears.
Have they ever heard any voice from the Presbyterian, Methodist, Catholic and Anglican churches making prophecies?
The man who said the electoral process was going to be laced with bloodshed has yet to come out to explain to us why the bloodshed did not come.
God’s ministry is one which should not be toyed with. Those who think they can lie to their congregations just so they can make money should think twice.
God is spiritual and his ways are not ours. Mere mortals might be endowed with some favours, but the Omnipotent God who gave them such favours can withdraw same.
The little knowledge that he gives us must be used with care lest we play Him who favoured us with same.
It was just too much the manner in which dust was being thrown into the eyes of the people, especially the desperate politicians.
Front pages of newspapers were awash with predictions and prophecies about the winners.
God is beyond being associated with conversations with people who exaggerate their spiritual statuses.
As they prophesised, we got anxious; longing for the outcome of the elections so we can determine the authenticity of their prophecies.
When the dust was settled and the winner known, attention was riveted on them to determine whose gambles turned out true.
For those whose prophecies turned out true, they have every cause to rejoice. Those who were not so lucky, they can only apologise for not getting it right or simply keeping mute and endure the public ridicule.
Those who have decided to serve God as they respond to the calling of the Omniscient, and they abound, continue to do so with distinction. Others too, pretending to do so, should bear in mind that the living God cannot be mocked. To even state that he is above that is simply an understatement.
With the National Democratic Congress (NDC) next in line to undertake an internal election, we should not have many prophecies, the so-called prophets having learnt their lessons from the realities which dawned during the NPP polls.
