Government Moves to Curb Reckless Prophecies: Presidential Envoy Calls for Responsible Spiritual Guidance
Responsible prophecies in Ghana – The Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations has issued a strong appeal to religious leaders nationwide, urging them to officially submit any prophecy or spiritual revelation of national importance to the government for immediate review.
The directive, announced in a statement on Sunday, August 10, 2025, by Presidential Envoy Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, specifically targets prophecies concerning high-profile political figures, national governance, security matters, and issues that could impact public stability.
Ensuring Responsibility in Spiritual Declarations
Responsible prophecies in Ghana – According to Mr. Ankrah, the move is not intended to restrict freedom of religion or spiritual expression but to promote accountability and discernment in the handling of sensitive spiritual information.
“This is about proper stewardship over the destiny of our nation, especially in these uncertain times,” the statement emphasized.
The initiative comes in the wake of growing public concerns over controversial prophecies that have, in the past, sparked tension and fear among citizens. By encouraging faith leaders to submit such revelations for official review, the government aims to prevent unnecessary panic and maintain national peace.
National Tragedy Sparks Urgent Appeal

In the statement, Mr. Ankrah urged religious communities to intensify prayers for:
The President and government officials
State institutions and national security agencies
Bereaved families and communities affected by the accident
The peace, progress, and prosperity of Ghana
Responsible prophecies in Ghana – The Office of the Presidential Envoy reaffirmed the government’s commitment to working closely with religious leaders from all faith traditions to protect Ghana’s stability. This collaboration, according to the statement, is vital in ensuring that spiritual insights are handled constructively, without jeopardizing the nation’s security or unity.
Mr. Ankrah noted that the government values the moral and spiritual influence of religious leaders and considers them key stakeholders in building a safe and prosperous future for all citizens.
A Call for Unity and Wisdom
As Ghana navigates a period of grief and uncertainty, the Presidential Envoy stressed the importance of wisdom, restraint, and responsible communication in all matters of prophecy and public declarations.
“In moments like these, our words and actions carry even greater weight. We must speak life, hope, and truth into the heart of the nation,” the statement concluded.
