Prophet El-Bernard Nelson-Eshun has come under heavy criticism after his prophecy about the just-ended New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primary election did not come to pass as forecast.
The prophet, who had expressed confidence in his vision that Mr Kennedy Agyapong would emerge as the victor of the primary election, faced criticism after the prophecy did not materialise.
He took to social media to apologise. However, many Ghanaians have not taken it lightly with him and have criticised him for making statements from his own mind while attributing them to God.

Reacting to the development, Ralph questioned why people would still attend his church after he had given a failed prophecy. His comment suggested that Ghanaians should apply logical reasoning in their daily affairs.
He believes that the use of common sense and logical reasoning should be at the forefront of all human endeavours. He rejects the rhetoric that suggests some churches are above scrutiny or that their leaders are infallible.

Reactions to Ralph blasting Prophet ElBernard
Scores of netizens have reacted to Ralph's criticism of ElBernard's failed prophecy. While some ridiculed the self-styled Prophet, others maintained their staunch belief in the preacher's gift of prophecy.
YEN.com.gh compiled some of the reactions below.
Seth DeFarmercist commented:
"If you see a man fall, do not laugh, for every fall carries a lesson. This reminds us that not every spoken word is sealed by heaven and not every vision is destined to fulfilment. The measure of a man is not only in the accuracy of his prediction but in the humility with which he serves. A prophecy that fails does not erase the effort of ministry, but it calls us to discernment, to patience and to the understanding that human vessels are fallible."
Abigail's Beauty Parlour noted:
"Please, so which Angel was he talking about, and from where in Ghana. You people are too much."
Evangelist Richard Edem Kenzy opined:
"I watched Pastor Mensa Otabil's video where he talked about the dangers of being overly sure as a Prophet. He said, when you are overly sure and become too convinced within yourself that you are infallible, God can surprise you. I never forget those words."
