Two popular Ghanaian pastors are at each other's throats, with one threatening on radio to kill the other and feed his corpse to vultures.

Bishop Daniel Obinim and Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, who lead large Christian congregations in the country, have hopped from one radio station to another within the last two weeks badmouthing each other through nasty allegations and threats which border on criminality while the security agencies and regulators of the airwaves remain indifferent.

The exchanges are coming at a time the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) has castigated Daniel Obinim and virtually described him as a fake pastor.

“Inasmuch as the Council believes strongly in the biblical doctrines of prophecies and miracles as signs of the workings of the Holy Spirit in our lives as Christians and the Church, the wanton abuse and manipulation of the sound doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ by these few charlatans for their egocentric interests ought to be exposed and condemned by the majority and genuine Christians,” the Council said in a statement released after Obinim attacked a respected pastor and a member of the council.

GPCC, in the strong-worded statement, gave reasons why the style of leadership of Bishop Obinim contradicts Christian principles and teachings.

Just after GPCC released its statement, Bishop Obinim went on the overdrive and attacked Prophet Owusu-Bempah.

“I will raise my left wings very high and use them to slap Owusu-Bempah and he will drop dead. He will die today!! People will carry his carcass today so tell him I am waiting for him. Oh my God!

“Look, Owusu-Bempah eiiiiiiiii, if you do not respect yourself, I will bring you down today. Even as I am talking to you now, I can see Jesus Christ standing by me. You have made Jesus angry. Owusu-Bempah has made Jesus Christ very angry. Jesus is standing by my side and he is very agitated. Owusu come and meet me now,” Bishop Obinim stated angrily during an interview on Happy FM on Friday morning.

If Obinim's threats are anything to go by, then Rev Owusu-Bempah should be a dead man this morning.

Daniel Obinim leads the International Gods Way Church which is based in Accra and has branches in other parts of the country.

He is a popular televangelist and self-styled miracle performer with a license to run his own television station, OBTV'.

The self-styled bishop was unhappy that Rev Owusu-Bempah, Head of Glorious Word Ministry International, had questioned his pastoral style and described him as a satanist and treacherous charlatan camouflaged in Christian cassock.

Characteristically, Obinim did not take the allegations lightly and took to the airwaves to hit back at Owusu-Bempah.

“Even as I am talking to you now, I am flapping my angelic wings behind me. The Lord wants to destroy Owusu-Bempah through me. Tell Owusu-Bempah that I am waiting for him and I am here until 10 pm. I will prove to Owusu-Bempah that I, Obinim, have received power from Jesus Christ to do His work in Ghana.

“Today, I will prove to Ghanaians that I am an angel. I want Owusu-Bempah to come here today to challenge me that I am not a true man of God using the power Jesus Christ gave me and that I am using occult powers and that I took occult powers from someone called Yaw Appiah. I want him to come and show me those powers.

“Every day you mention my name: Obinim has done this, Obinim has done that. Is anyone asking why all these attacks on me? I have been advised to ignore and I have ignored them. Then you, Owusu-Bempah, start talking about me again and say I am fake and I am occultic. Look Owusu-Bempah, if you do not respect yourself, I will bring you down today,” Obinim threatened.

Owusu-Bempah
Prophet Owusu-Bempah has called the bluff of Obinim and dared him to bring it on.

According to Owusu-Bempah, Obinim was not called by God but he rather went to seek supernatural powers from a fetish priest, who made him sleep in a coffin for a number of days as part of plans to fortify him to perform miracles.

He alleged that Obinim's real name is Kwadwo Edem Obinim and that he had buried human bones under his church.

According to Owusu-Bempah, he was once approached by Obinim for prayers and that during that time, he saw many dwarfs surrounding the Bishop.

Owusu-Bempah said Obinim told him of the places he had visited for fortification during a conversation.

I Gave Obinim Juju
A fetish priest, Okomfo Yaw Appiah, says he has bestowed spiritual powers on Bishop Daniel Obinim to operate and flourish his ministry.

“…He has brought great shame to everyone. He is going mad; we shall see what will happen to those magical powers that he came for… The embarrassment that is coming will be greater than what he has gone through in the past years,” the angry fetish priest said.

Obinim recently launched a verbal attack on the 1st Vice President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council, Rev Sam Korankye Ankrah, describing him as a “fornicator” and a “fool” after the latter, during a media interview, accused him of using 'magic' following his claims that he could transform into any animal including a snake to unleash terror on his enemies.

Speaking on the development in an interview with Accra FM on Friday, the fetish priest asked Obinim to ask God for forgiveness and repent.

“He must change his ways and ask God for forgiveness… I can tell you Obinim is going mad and I am plainly saying that he is going mad and the spiritual powers he came for are making him go mad…,” he revealed.

Bishop Obinim has over the years been embroiled in countless scandals that have brought shame to the clergy and persons associated with him.
