The Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) says it has not yet received any official communication from the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations regarding the proposed process for reviewing prophecies of national significance.
This clarification follows a wave of viral videos circulating on social media in the aftermath of the August 6 military helicopter crash, which claimed eight lives, including those of two cabinet ministers.
In the videos, several self-proclaimed prophets claimed they had foreseen the tragedy in visions and issued warnings that went unheeded.
In response to the growing controversy, the Office of the Presidential Envoy on Sunday, August 10, called on religious leaders to submit any prophecy or spiritual revelation related to national security, political figures, or public stability through formal channels.
Reacting in an interview that same day, GPCC General Secretary Apostle Immanuel Tettey said the Council would wait for an official written directive before taking any action.
“GPCC does not typically endorse or promote controversial prophecies in the public space. We’ve already engaged with our member churches and leaders. Once we receive a formal letter, we will seek clarity from the Office and determine the appropriate way forward,” he said.
The GPCC’s response signals a call for structure and accountability amid growing concerns about the role of unverified spiritual claims in national discourse.
