The Whispers of Doom Prophesies in Ghana, Part 1.

Reverend Jim Jones and followers committed a mass suicide - @Nancy Wong

As the Europeans are advancing in scientific research and development, the Ghanaians are growing in superstition, fear and lawlessness. The proliferation of End Time Prophets and some fake Pastors in Ghana is leading the country into the kind of Jonestown scenario in America’s history. Must we wait for some dark days before the NDC and the NPP will pass a law in parliament to curb death predictions and some dangerous activities of these so-called prophets?

These greedy wolves in sheep's skin, build some cults and convince the people to believe them by putting fear in the followers and coming up with lists of doom predictions which they claim to be prophesies from God. The followers begin to do the wishes of their masters in fear without thinking. The end result could be a catastrophe.

It is no surprise that their church members call them Daa, Dada, Father and so on. Sooner than later, they will call them God and Angels. Were we not in Ghana, when one lunatic rose up and said he was the Holy Spirit? Where is he now? The Holy Spirit who had a wife and children, Ghanaian parents and siblings.

In 1978, Jim Jones, a cult leader and the founder of the Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ, succeeded in airlifting of over a thousand American followers to Guyana where he poisoned them with cyanide. Those who refused to drink the cyanide were either shot dead or injected with the poison, according to the INDEPENDENT News Agency. When the FBI besieged Jonestown, Jim Jones was said to have shot himself in the head after killing over 900 Americans. Ghana, wise up!

The whispers of the mass murder-suicide included his doomsday prediction that an asteroid was coming to hit America so members of his fellowship must prepare to meet their savior beforehand. That prophesy did not occur yet the followers kept on revering and defending him until the dark day in Guyana. He had relocated the church to Guyana to avoid probes by the FBI and Human Right Groups.

According to the INDEPENDENT News (28 February 2018), in the year 2000, over 924 members of a religious sect committed a mass murder-suicide in Uganda. The victims were said to have been tortured or poisoned before the church premises were set ablaze. Initial television news reported that over 300 church members committed self-immolation in the church, but the death toll kept on rising. Ghana must take lessons from the recent past.

The ‘mixtures’, oils, ‘abula mu nsuo’ and other things which the so-called prophets are selling to their church members and the vulnerable in the society are whispers of the unexpected in Ghana’s Christendom if laws are not made to stop them. Apart from the money they are making, these so-called men of God are putting unnecessary fear in the people and most importantly, leading many people into Hell. Read Jer 14:14, 2Pet 2:3 and Matt 7:15-23.
