Reverend Isaac Owusu-Bempah has revealed the reason behind his decision to stop visiting President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House. He stated that he no longer visits because the First Lady, Rebecca, appears displeased with him, leaving him with the impression that she dislikes him. Despite not recalling any specific offense, the founder and leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry International explained that he noticed the First Lady’s apparent resentment whenever he approached her husband. In an interview with Kwame Nkrumah Tikese of Accra-based Okay FM, the self-proclaimed ‘nation’s prophet’ emphasized that he chose to distance himself from the President, whom he has consistently claimed to prophesy for, in order to safeguard his integrity. Owusu-Bempah expressed his reluctance to continue visiting when faced with the disapproval of the President’s wife, stating that he would not subject himself to such circumstances.
“I have not offended her at all. Me, Owusu-Bempah, I am not afraid of apologizing when I am wrong. If there’s one thing, I am never shy of apologizing,” he added.
The man of God lamented that he has suffered so much vilification at the hands of close associates of President Akufo-Addo simply he chose to help him spiritually, which he claimed culminated in him attaining presidential power.
“I have let go of everything but I am just explaining so no one goes to think that Rev. Owusu-Bempah still goes to the Jubilee House because that has brought me issues.
“Sometimes when he (the president) calls me and I go, people’s faces change as soon as I arrive there. They think I have too much access to him…
“That has courted me a lot of hatred for which I once called Chairman Wontumi to complain. Now I have decided to sit somewhere and think about myself and rather support him in prayers from afar,” Owusu-Bempah said.
While he doesn’t feel comfortable getting near the President because he thinks his wife appears unfriendly, he said it is not the same with Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and his wife Samira.
“I’ve not been to him (Vice President Dr Bawumia) and been frowned at by anyone before. The way he and his wife adore me whenever they see me is lovely, his wife likes me,” he said.
Owusu-Bempah is one of the Ghanaian men of God who are noted for pronouncing controversial ‘prophecies’, some of which got him into trouble with the law. He claims to have the power to determine who becomes Ghana’s President or not, hence proclaiming himself as the ‘nation’s prophet’.
