Ghanaian Bishop Isaac Owusu
Bempah, Founder and Leader of the
Glorious Word Power Ministries
International, has labeled two of
Nigeria’s celebrated pastors as
partners in winning souls for the
devil.
In the words of the controversial Owusu
Bempah, the founding President of
Believers’ LoveWorld Incorporated, also
known as “Christ Embassy”, Dr
Christian Oyakhilome (popularly
known as “Pastor Chris”) and General
Overseer of The Synagogue Church of All
Nations (SCOAN), Prophet Temitope
Balogun (aka TB) Joshua, are not “true
men of God”, but leaders of occults,
winning souls for the devil.
This claim, according to Owusu-
Bempah, is based on God’s revelation
to him in a vision as well as his own
analysis of the scripture, works and
conduct of the two popular heads of
two religious organisations in Africa.
Owusu-Bempah said he once heard
Pastor Chris saying he saw nothing
wrong with homosexuality and
lesbianism , and wondered which true
man of God would lead his flock with
such beliefs.
“No doubt he [Pastor Chris] is a friend
and partner of TB Joshua”, Owusu-
Bempa noted last week, claiming both
men are dubious men of God who have
a pact with the devil.
For Owusu Bempah, Nigerians have
allegedly realized the dubious character
of the Nigerian televangelist faith healer
and founding president of Christ
Embassy and his partnership with TB
Joshua and have consequently chased
him out of the country to South
Africa, where he presently resides.
On TB Joshua, Owusu-Bempa claimed
he once saw him with his feet on the
floor preaching , an incident he said
revealed to him that TB Joshua was not
from God.
“When you see anyone claiming to
worship God who worships with his feet
on the ground, he’s an occultist. And TB
Joshua is an occultist.
“Ask yourself how TB Joshua, who
claims God called him, worships with
his feet on the ground? Let me tell you if
you go to any church and you see the
leader worshiping with his feet on the
ground, it’s a sign of demonism; it’s
occultic. People like that follow spirits
that are not of God. It is occultic.”
According to him, God later revealed
that TB Joshua was an occultist who did
not draw his spiritual powers from God.
“Some time ago, I used to like TB Joshua.
I was watching him on television, and
the Lord opened my eyes . I saw him
with horns on his head, and he had the
face of a wolf. His tongue was that of a
snake and he had blood smeared all
over his mouth.”
“Immediately, I rushed into my
bedroom, and the Lord told me that he
wasn’t from Him, but was working
under the authority of bad spirits,” the
pastor added. “That was when I realized
TB Joshua was demonic and not of God.”
The man who has himself been labeled
a false prophet by some of his critics,
advised Ghanaians not to be misled by
signs of wonders and so-called men
of God whose powers do not come
from God.
He also accused TB Joshua in particular
of sometimes faking miracles to win
the confidence of his flock. “He can
perform a clean miracle today and
contaminate it with a lot of fake ones”.
Joshua claimed his “own junior pastor
went to his church to be healed. He was
forced to sit in a wheel chair and made
to claim before the cameras that he had
received his healing even though he
hadn’t. He returned to the country and
within two weeks, he passed away”,
Owusu-Bempah stated.
He again cautioned Ghanaians not to be
in a hurry to attend the services of
Prophet TB Joshua since he is the “anti-
christ.”
“If you are a pastor who worked under
him and he gets to know you want to
reveal his secrets, he kills you directly,”
Owusu-Bempah alleged.
“If no one is willing to say this, I will say
it: TB Joshua is the anti-christ and an
agent of the devil… I know of a pastor
who attended his church, and when he
should tell you about what he saw, your
mouth would drop,” he stated.
