The Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations has directed all religious leaders in Ghana to formally submit any prophecy or spiritual insight with potential national impact for urgent review.
In a statement issued on Sunday, August 10, 2025, and signed by Presidential Envoy Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, the directive applies to prophecies concerning high-profile political figures, governance matters, national security, or public stability.
“We kindly encourage you to inform all Prophets, Men and Women of God under your oversight that any prophecy or spiritual insight of a national nature… should be formally relayed to the Office of the Presidential Envoy for urgent review and appropriate escalation,” the statement said.
Mr Afriyie Ankrah explained that the measure is intended to promote “responsibility, discernment, and stewardship over the nation’s destiny, especially in these times of uncertainty and complexity.”
On behalf of President John Dramani Mahama, the envoy expressed deep appreciation to the clergy for their continued spiritual guidance and moral leadership. “I extend heartfelt appreciation to you and your various denominations for your unwavering spiritual support, intercessory prayers, and sustained leadership in promoting peace, moral integrity, and national unity,” he stated, adding that the role of faith leaders in Ghana’s civic and spiritual life remains “indispensable.”
The statement also called for prayers in the wake of a recent accident involving government officials, military personnel, and executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). “We humbly request your intense prayers for the President of the Republic, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, the government and all state institutions, the bereaved families, and the entire nation of Ghana. May the Lord comfort the afflicted, guide our leaders, and continue to preserve our beloved country.”
The government reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with religious leaders to maintain Ghana’s peace, stability, and prosperity.
