God Told Me ‘Montie 3’ Would Go To Jail – Rev Owusu-Bempah

Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, the General Overseer of the Glorious Way Chapel, has said that in December 2015, God specifically told him that the Supreme Court would jail the Montie FM presenter and two panelists who were sentenced four months each on Wednesday

“I prophesied that some people will be jailed for speaking against the Supreme Court judges and we prayed to stop it but people condemned me and it has come to pass,” Rev Owusu-Bempah told Adom News hours after the jail sentence was announced on Wednesday.

The 'prophet' is known for a special ability to generate controversy and his new claim was in reference to what happened in court this week when a presenter and two panelists of Montie FM were convicted of contempt by the Supreme Court and sentenced to four months in prison.

The panelists Alistair Nelson, Godwin Ako Gunn and the host of the show, Salifu 'Mugabe' Maase were found guilty of contempt charges following threats by the panelists to kill the judges.

Rev Owusu-Bempah described the development as an unfortunate one and advised that “political commentators and radio presenters must be circumspect in their utterances ahead of this elections year. We have prayed against any violence but their action can plunge Ghana into chaos.”

He continued…“Politicians should take note and stay away from commentaries that are likely to compromise, embarrass or impugn the integrity of the Supreme Court and all other constitutionally mandated bodies which are dully performing their duties.”

The 'prophet' is on record for making rather alarming predictions, but often adds a caveat that the doom would not happen if fervent prayers are made.

Rev Owusu-Bempah, however, disagrees with the assertion that he is a dooms day prophet who only sees negative things.

“I am not the only prophet in Ghana who sees bad things. The situation of the country is what I see. I don't know what has gone on or what our leaders have done but I don't see good things ahead.

“There are times I see positive things but when I see negative things I also have to say them. We have to say the bad things we are seeing so as to pray against them. Prophets are not only for saying good things. We also see negative things.

“I cannot lie that there is peace when I have not seen peace. Jesus Christ said he did not only come with peace but with the sword that would set up father against child and child against father. In the Bible, the people of Nineveh were there when one day, Jonah came out of the belly of a whale and said God would destroy Nineveh within 30 days.  It was strange for someone to come out of the stomach of a fish, get the attention of everyone and then start to make scary prophesies.

“But the king organised his people to pray against it and God changed his mind… Prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and told him to prepare his will because he was about to die. But, the king prayed about it and God changed his mind,” he explained to Richmond Roland De-Graft Johnson on his popular midnight Christian show, Gospel Hitz on Hitz FM.
