In a video spotted by YEN.com.gh, the Apostle provided specific dietary advice based on his followers' birth dates, with a particular focus on 2026.

During his 31st December watch night service, Apostle Richard Kwame delivered the special message to his congregation.

For individuals born on a Saturday, he prescribed a regular diet of palm nut soup, claiming it would 'cause prosperity to chase you.' The reverse was the case for those born on a Tuesday. The prophecy also came with the specific timeline of 2026. He suggested the year as a dietary restriction for them.

His most detailed instruction was reserved for those born on a Wednesday.

"A Wednesday-born person is a leader," Apostle Owusu declared.

Speaking further, he issued a stern warning to them against eating food prepared outside the home.

In his words:

"Eating outside destroys your handiwork."

He said this to mean that street food or restaurant meals could spiritually cancel out their leadership abilities.
