Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, Head Pastor of the Believers Worship Centre (Philadelphia Movement), has issued a stern warning to the Christian Council of Ghana, demanding a retraction of their negative statements against him within 40 days. The prophet has warned that failure to comply will result in severe consequences, including the potential collapse of their churches.
Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah has specifically challenged pastors who have spoken against him to reverse their statements to their congregants within the specified timeframe. He emphasized that they should use the same platform they used to insult him to correct their mistake.
“I challenge any pastor who has spoken against me to reverse their statement against me to their congregants within 40 days. They should use the same mouth they used to insult me to tell them. All pastors of the Christian Council should inform their church members about this,” he stated while addressing his congregants.
This ultimatum has sparked intense debate, with some supporting the prophet’s stance and others questioning his approach. The warning follows a press release from the Christian Council of Ghana titled “Beware of False Teachers and Messiahs,” which condemned Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah for suggesting that his face should replace the widely recognized image of Jesus.
The Christian Council of Ghana stated, “Firstly, we wish to state unequivocally that Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah is not and cannot be the Jesus that Christians seek in Ghana or the world at large.”
The council further emphasized that the widely recognized picture believed to be of Jesus Christ is merely a representation and that worshipping it would constitute idolatry.
“We wish to use this opportunity to explicate that the face of Jesus, the Son of God, is not on any frame in the world. The popular ‘Jesus picture’ in the world is a portrait that serves as some physical representation used in homes, churches, and even offices. On some of the portraits, there are Bible quotations that remind the believer of the presence of God in our lives. However, such portraits are not to be worshipped, as the picture is not Jesus. Worshipping any ‘Jesus picture’ correlates with idol worship and should never be practised by anyone.”
