Controversial Counsellor cum pastor, George Lutterodt has advised Ghanaians not to ignore prophecies from men of God but also take action when such prophecies come.

According to him, taking action over prophecies can reverse it no matter how bad the prophecy may be.

“Hezekiah did it and it worked for him. So when you are fortunate to have a prophecy on your life, no matter how you joke with it, no matter how serious you are, add more to it” he said.

Mr Lutterodt added that as an ordained man of God, there are prophecies that come directly to him and he works towards it.

“Not from even prophets, from individuals like you who will dream and have a dream, I follow it and I work towards it” he noted.

Counsellor Lutterodt believes that “life is about someone telling you what you don’t know from the other world.”

“I don’t condemn prophecies but I believe that when we hear them let’s work towards it religiously” he added.

The Counselor was at the State funeral of the late Vice President Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur who passed on at the Air Force gym during a workout section.

Prior to the death of the late Vice President, Rev Owusu Bempah had predicted during a 31st December all night service that Ghana will lose one of her ex-Vice President.

“…there are some people we call Statesmen. Example of such people are the ex-presidents of Ghana. If we don’t pray this year, Ghana will have a big funeral… but we will pray”, Rev Owusu Bempeh said.
