In a video shared by SikaOfficial on X, a communicator from the headquarters whose name was not captured stated that no one will be allowed to sell anything at this year’s 31st Night gathering in Philadelphia City.

He warned that anyone caught selling would have their items seized, and any money made from the sales would also be confiscated.

He stated:

“Coming 31st Night, whoever brings items to sell in Philadelphia City will have them seized, and any money gained will also be taken away.”

He compared the situation to pilgrims travelling to Mecca, noting that:

“You will never go to Mecca to sell. People would rather take money there to buy things and focus on praying.”

Adom Kyei-Duah distances himself from some ornaments

The communicator also announced that counterfeit “spiritual ornaments” have been infiltrated that do not come from Adom Kyei-Duah.

He noted that some fake items, including a trending chain, have deceived many people despite having no connection to the church.

He cautioned members against buying such fake items and urged them to remain vigilant.

He said:

“The Voice of God has advised that no member should buy any T-shirt or item from anyone because he does not know where they are coming from.”

He added:

“There is a chain trending that we don’t even know where it is coming from. We are investigating it. If you buy such things, it means you don’t respect the head.”

He further revealed that there would be a heavy security presence, including police, soldiers, and fire personnel, to ensure compliance with the rules.

“A way to sell their own things. You can’t sit for hours without getting some water, food, or biscuits. What a way to cash out 😅. They don’t have to scare people, just tell them not to come do business there.”

Adom Kyei-Duah tells Mahama, “disregard National Cathedral”

Prophet Stephen Adom-Kyei-Duah, Founder and General Overseer of the Believers Worship Centre, has advised President John Mahama against continuing the National Cathedral project.

He urged the President to focus on essential infrastructure rather than the Cathedral.

His comments followed a call from the Christian Council asking President Mahama to continue the construction from where his predecessor left off.

In a video on X, Adom-Kyei-Duah said:

“The Cathedral has become the biggest swimming pool. I am advising the NDC government and the President to remain focused. Is it not God who is the builder? If he needs a Cathedral, how does that concern the government? Is the government a church? When Muslims build a mosque, do they go to the government?”
