Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, founder of the Perez Chapel International, on Sunday, February 1, advised Ghanaians to be wary of prophecies motivated by financial gains or personal ambition.<\/p>\n

False prophecies, he said, instilled fear, hopelessness, and unhealthy dependence on prophets rather than on God.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnytime prophecy leads to fear, hopelessness, or dependency on the prophet, something has gone wrong,\u201d the Archbishop said during a joint church service at the Headquarters of the Perez Chapel International at Dzorwulu in Accra.<\/p>\n

Preaching on the theme: \u201cProphets and Prophecy, Are They Important,\u201d he said prophecies were important, but they ought to be grounded in scripture, governed by accountability, motivated by love, and centered on Christ.<\/p>\n

He said true prophecies were meant to strengthen homes and build social cohesion and careers but not to destroy them.<\/p>\n

Drawing an inference from Matthew 7:15-20, the Archbishop, who is also the President of the Agyinasare World Evangelism, reminded Christians to beware of false prophets, explaining that such people could be recognised \u201cby their fruits\u201d.<\/p>\n

Prophecies that humiliated leaders or spread fear were not consistent with biblical teachings, he said, summing up that, \u201cGod does not frighten His people.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said prophets and prophecy in the life of the church could not be glossed over, describing them as part of God\u2019s divine plan rather than human invention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are meant for guidance and unity to strengthen Christendom,\u201d Archbishop Agyinasare stated.<\/p>\n

He affirmed his belief in the prophetic ministry as instituted by God but cautioned that not every prophecy should be accepted uncritically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
