Judges need special prayers – Rev. Owusu Bempah

Founder and leader of Glorious Word Ministry International, Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah says the Supreme Court judges sitting on the landmark presidential election petition need special prayers from the clergy to enable them deliver good judgment.

He said in view of the fact that the hearing of the election petition was drawing to a close, some people with ulterior motives were working hard to confuse the judges so that they would fail to deliver what he termed ‘proper judgment.’

He told Daily Guide exclusively in Accra on Sunday that “occultists and other people with evil intentions are flooding the court on daily basis to confuse our honorable judges but with prayers we are going to defeat them.”

Rev. Owusu Bempah, who has been making mind-blowing prophecies that have sparked extensive debate in the media in recent times, said the probability that the verdict of the court would cause chaos in the country was high and therefore tasked the leadership of both the ruling NDC and NPP to continue to sensitize their members to eschew violence.

“I saw in a vision that there was violence after the court delivered its judgment because one party felt cheated. Some people have brought in foreign gods just to ensure they win this case. It is up to us as Christians to wake up and pray very hard for God to protect our judges.”

“I also saw in the vision that as a result of the violence, Ghana became a difficult place to live in.”

He said, “We should persistently ask God to protect our judges and grant them wisdom to be able to dispense justice without any fear.”

Rev. Owusu Bempah said, “I know our judges are capable of delivering justice that would be acceptable to all the parties involved in the petition and all we need to do is to encourage them in prayers.”

He said that prophecies like these should not be taken for granted and also politicized since violence could easily derail the gains so far.

Rev. Owusu Bempah said the live telecast of the proceedings by the media, especially Ghana Television, was crucial because it had defused tension in the country.

“I appeal to the media to continue to sustain interest in this case so that they can continue to educate the public on what is going on at the Supreme Court,” he added.
