Owusu Bempah asserts that the 'special miracle' offering received by Mensah Otabil at the just ended 'Greater Works' Conference betrays his message that Christians who give offering to Prophets are 'fools and senseless'.
Pastor Mensah Otabil was bashed last week after a notice of monies people had offered as payment for 'special miracles' allegedly emanating from his church, ICGC, leaked into Social media.
The notice promised “Millionaire Status” for anyone who gave an offering of $5,000 or GHC21,500. For “100% Life Improvement” believers would have to make an offering of $100 or GHC425.
In response to this, the Founder of the Glorious Word Power Ministry International said the double standard shown by the renowned 'Man of God' is disappointing and a gross disrespect to the Prophets in GHana.
He noted that as a Prophet he isn't against offerings and donations as such acts have biblical precedence.
Citing instances from the Bible, Owusu Bempah said, "Abraham and Peter are referenced in the Bible, Abraham accepted tithes and Peter also asked his followers to go sell their properties and bring the money as offering to be used for the work of God."
Prophet Owusu Bempah stressed that his disappointment stems from the fact that Pastor Mensah Otabil had in the past referred to Prophets who accept cash offerings and donations from congregants in return for blessing as false prophets and tricksters.
He also accused Pastor Mensah Otabil of referring to such congregants 'fools' for allowing themselves to be deceived by these false prophets.
Owusu Bempah thus finds it amusing that a person like Mensah Otabil will turn back on his words to engage in such an act.
"I am a pastor but I am not against offering. Not all Prophets are tricksters and not all prophets are fake, there are true prophets out there. Just as there are prophets who deceive so are there Pastors who deceive".
"I am surprised its Mensah Otabil who is engaging in this act, he is a pastor I respect but I am highly disappointed. He is the same person who said born again Christians are foolish people who don't think. They don't think through things before they do. They continuously follow prophets who spend their money and yet do not perform the miracles they keep paying for"
Prophet Owusu Bempah says for Pastor Mensah Otabil to regain the respect he has earned in the past, he ought to apologise for his previous comments.
Owusu Bempah also said that Pastor Mensah Otabil ought to apologise for saying that Christians who visit the churches of prophets "don't have wisdom and aren't matured"
