Ghana facing challenges because Akufo-Addo has turned away from God - Owusu Bempah

In a separate story, YEN.com.gh reported that Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah, a popular preacher and self-proclaimed prophet, has said Ghana was facing a myriad of economic and other problems because President Nana Akufo-Addo doesn’t listen to God anymore.

The head of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, who is known popularly as ‘The Nation’s Prophet’ said just like the biblical Saul, the president has hardened his heart to the advice of God.

Rev. Owusu Bempah told RTV Ghana, an online-based local language media house, that just like Samuel (a prophet) distanced himself from Saul because of his stubbornness, he has also distanced himself from the president.
