A Ghanaian preacher, Prophet Francis Kofi Annan, has stirred controversy after declaring that men who shape their hairlines, moustaches or beards risk missing heaven.
In a video circulating on X, the prophet cautioned men against grooming practices that involve creating defined lines or shapes after trimming. According to him, men should either shave completely or leave their hair in its natural form.
He claimed his warning was based on a spiritual encounter in what he described as the “land of the dead.”
“Any man who shapes his hairline, moustache, or beard after trimming will not make it to heaven,” he said.
Prophet Annan argued that some men are unknowingly endangering their spiritual lives by treating grooming as fashion. He extended his criticism to certain pastors, accusing them of shaping their hair and adding lines to attract young women in their congregations.
“Some pastors also put lines in their hair after a shave. They do this because they want to attract young ladies in the church,” he claimed.
His comments have sparked debate online, with many questioning the basis of his claims and others expressing concern about the growing trend of extreme doctrinal interpretations.
