Entertainment pundit, Vida Adutwumwaa, has raised a question regarding Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah’s political affiliation, specifically asking if he has ever publicly declared allegiance to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) or ever shown his party card.
Her comments come amidst backlashes against the prophet for switching from the NPP to the National Democratic Congress.
The criticism intensified after Owusu-Bempah publicly prayed for John Mahama, projecting him as the next chosen leader for the country.
In response, several NPP members, including Chairman Wontumi, have condemned the prophet for perceived disloyalty and betrayal.
Panelist, Vida Adutwumwaa asserted that Owusu-Bempah’s affiliation with the NPP has been well known. She questioned if Owusu-Bempah would’ve still prophesied Mahama’s victory if he was with the NPP.
In her rebuttal, Vida Adutwumwaa expressed frustration over the narrative that Owusu-Bempah is exclusively linked to a particular political party. “People keep saying that he once supported a certain political party, but did he ever formally declare his affiliation or show his party card?” she fumed.
She cited a previous instance where Owusu-Bempah prophesied the late John Evans Atta-Mills’ presidency while still associated with the NPP, questioning why he hadn’t leveled an NDC prophet then.
“Before his Excellency late Evans Atta Mills became President, the first time Owusu-Bempah prophesied about it was in Kumasi. Did we hear people say that he is an NDC member because he said Mills will become President?
“He has prophesied for both parties, so when you say that he originally belonged to the NPP, I don’t agree. If you tell us that Owusu-Bempah originally belonged to the NPP but left because of how they treated him, then I don’t agree with you.”

Entertainment pundit, MC Yaa Yeboah also indicated that the founder and leader of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, has not been consistent in his prophesies.
She expressed concerns over what she describes as confusing prophecies from the pastor.
“Is God not a direct God? When I listen to these prophecies, it is mind-boggling. It becomes challenging to convince non-believers to embrace Christianity. From 2016 to now, Owusu-Bempah has not been consistent in his prophesies.
“We’ve known Owusu-Bempah’s political affiliation all these years. I want to ask, assuming he was still with the NPP, would he have prophesied Mahama’s victory in this year’s elections? Sometimes, we shouldn’t make these things too obvious.”

She further called on pastors to allow church members to make their own decisions. “When a prophet makes such declarations, church members who hold these pastors in high esteem sometimes vote for political parties based on these prophecies,” she added.
Okatakyie Warns Rev. Owusu-Bempah
Broadcaster, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah issued a warning to Rev. Owusu-Bempah not to threaten him with a court summon.
During his recent morning show, he stressed that the pastor cannot intimidate him with spirituality or legal matters.
“This morning I want to issue a strong warning to Owusu-Bempah because he can’t intimidate me with any spiritual matters. Someone from Owusu-Bempah’s camp called Kojo Dickson, and he said (Owusu Bempah) had given me an ultimate to apologize or else he would summon me to court. I told him that he can’t threaten me over such issues because I have evidence.”

Afrifa further asked Rev. Owusu-Bempah to remain silent, insisting that he has proof for everything he had stated.
“You people should tell Owusu-Bempah to be quiet and endure because I have evidence for everything I said so far. If these religious leaders have interest in any political party, they should come out and say it.”

His comments are in response to a recent prophecy from Rev. Owusu Bempah predicting Mahama’s victory in the forthcoming 2024 elections.
Afrifa earlier dismissed the prophecy as false, stating that the pastors who graced Mahama’s meeting were motivated by political interests.
