The Inspector General of the Ghana Police Service (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare has broken his silence on the criticisms leveled against him in the wake of Police measures to curb irresponsible Prophesy.
Dr. Dampare stated at the Public Accounts Committees that there is no prohibition on prophecies; however, the Ghana Police Service seeks to ensure that prophecies are communicated in a way that does not cause fear and panic.
“We don’t know what language God speaks and who interprets it to who but the point is that if God speaks to you and then you out there, ask the same God to give you guidance as to how you are supposed to communicate it so that it will not affect the life of individuals”, he said.
According to the IGP, Most Pastors resort to prophesying to cause fear and panic for showmanship.
“Before I became IGP nobody prophesied about me. Now i’m IGP everybody is prophesying about me. I have no problem about it because I’m a public Figure but why should it be such that you found something about me, you have to showmanship and tell the whole world that I’m about to die”, he questioned.
“We are not against prophecies, go ahead and prophecy, but, when God speaks to you, carry it in a manner that will ensure the sanctity of our nation”, the IGP told Pastors.
