Founder and leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah claims even though he prophesied the deadly coronavirus, he was unable to pronounce it to his congregation.

Ghanaians have been wondering why Ghanaian prophets who claim to foresee everything that is bound to befall the country and the world at large have been mute on the deadly coronavirus that has claimed several thousands of lives in China and others parts of the world.

But the man who prides himself as the nation’s prophet claims it was revealed to him by God despite his inability to pronounce the name which is very unfamiliar unlike is Malaria, Hepatitis B and BP.

“I stood in my church and stated that a deadly disease will kill a lot of people in 2020 if we do not pray fervently. But I didn’t mention the name ‘coronavirus’ because I had never heard the name. What I know is Malaria, Hepatitis B and BP. Even if God had mentioned the name of the disease to me as ‘coronavirus I wouldn’t have been able to pronounce it. Even now I find it very difficult to mention the name rightly,, he claimed on Accra-based Kasapa Fm monitored by MyNewsGh.com.

Ghana has at least recorded 26 suspected cases of the disease which turned out to be negative after tests were conducted on according to the Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Badu Sarkodie.

Meanwhile Ghana’s Health authorities, the Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Service have assured the country that they are somewhat prepared to handle any cases in the country.

But Pressure group OccupyGhana has suggested that Ghana considers the following variables:1 – Surveillance;2 – Containment;3 – Prevention;4 – Testing;5 – Treatment;6 – Coordination; and 7 – Finance.

But Dr Badu Sarkodie says the country’s points of entry are under constant surveillance to curb the infiltration of the disease.
