Elbernard Sends Congregation a Strong Message After Failed Prophecy: “I’m Not Asking You to Stay”
- Prophet Elbernard addressed his failed prophecy head-on, stressing humility, accountability, and steadfast commitment to his spiritual calling
- Church members praised their spiritual leader's openness, commending his honesty and reassurance, even as the prophecy did not unfold as expected

This happened despite the prophet taking a short break from preaching after his prophecy on the NPP presidential primaries did not come true.
During the Sunday service on February 1, he spoke openly to the congregation, saying that while he could not control how they reacted, he remained committed to his ministry.
“I can’t influence and determine how you respond and react, but I want you to understand that I’m still here. I am not going to ask you to stay here, nor am I asking you to leave,” he said. “But I will be back.”
Elbernard explained that addressing the situation openly was essential. Drawing from his book, School of Prophecy, particularly Chapter 16, titled "When a Prophet Misses It," he outlined how a spiritual leader should respond when a prophetic word does not come to pass.
The book, written several years ago and released in 2025, details principles of humility, integrity, and personal responsibility in ministry.
“I do not seek encouragement from members in moments like this,” he remarked.
“I seek accountability.”

Prophet Elbernard takes accountability for failed prophecy
The prophet’s remarks follow his earlier public apology on Facebook, in which he addressed the missed prediction regarding the NPP presidential primaries held on January 31, 2026. Elbernard had foretold that former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, would win the contest, claiming that an angel of God detailed the outcome to him.
In one declaration, he even told Mr Agyapong that the number he selected during the primary would determine his final position in the election. However, the election concluded with former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia emerging victorious, earning the flagbearer position for the 2028 general elections.
Despite the unexpected outcome, Prophet Elbernard maintained a composed stance before his congregation, emphasising lessons in humility, spiritual responsibility, and the importance of accountability in ministry.
He urged members to focus on the church's enduring mission rather than on the outcome of any individual prophecy. Through his measured response, Elbernard reinforced the message that spiritual leadership is rooted not in perfect predictions but in steadfast service, integrity, and the courage to guide a congregation through both triumphs and setbacks.
