Many people have argued that men of God are not supposed to get involved with politics as they give room for people to attack them verbally and then dent the image of God they [men of God] represent on earth.
But the founder and leader of the Glorious Word Power International Ministry, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah has begged to differ from that notion of many Ghanaians, saying that men of God do not engage in partisan politics.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Rev Owusu Bempah averred men of God rather engage in politics because it is what they do everyday as they are campaigning for Jesus Christ to win souls for God.
He stressed that “Ghana is not for politicians alone to decide the fate of the country and thus, men of God have a stake in the development of the country”.
“Pastors are politicians because we have the party of Jesus Christ and the party of Satan. We are competing with the agents of the devil over souls in the world and so we will continue to do politics”, he stated.
He emphasized that men of God in the Bible engaged in politics of their time as the likes of Prophet Samuel, Elijah, and Nathan contributed to the progress of Israel when the rulers were going astray.
“We don’t have any hatred for any political party; we are speaking the mind of God to the leaders of the country and we will continue to do so in the country. So if something is going on wrong, we have every right to speak our minds as citizens”, Rev Owusu Bempah added.
He therefore condemned the Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Koku Anyidoho over his coup d’etat comments; saying it is unfortunate to hear a leader like Koku Anyidoho inciting the masses to revolt against a ruling government.

Not in the new testament. God is not looking for people or nation to call his own. He is looking for a family and building his own church. When you want to involve yourself in politics then be ready to dance the tune of politics. God is not interested in politics or politicians and will never involve himself in politics. He is so focus on his church which is in Christ Jesus and true ministers of Christ are so focus on the mission of preaching the gospel, praying and building good Christians for Christ coming.

Everyone know that this country is full of corrupt people like pastors and unfortunate politicians, no wonder we live like animals, everywhere is filthy and bad odor throughout, I wish this man and some Ghanaians will travel to Rwanda-Kigali and go and see where God lives, See how they have make their country a living place, clean environment. Citizen have realized that God or Jesus won't come and make their cities clean for them, They don't preach in towns or in cars, or stand in places and be making praying to God that someone has taken their belongs spiritually like we do here in Ghana yet their christian population is almost 90 percent, you will never see Muslims waking up and making noise to call others to come to mosqu and pray no!, because everyone Muslim know their time for prayers but not in this Ghana. Please someone must go there and witness and see if God or Jesus will even think of coming here(Ghana), Gyemei Nkoaa Ghana.
I think what the prophet of God is saying is biblical, and so we must all support them to direct our leaders for the first time in the history of our dear Ghana. @ Asa, having married for the third time does not mean he doesnt know God. if you know your bible then you should know that even the mighty king David killed Uriah in order to take his wife. This prophet is the rock of NPP in their quest to transform Ghana.
Any minister of God who dwell in the past and use the Old Testament to make an argument does not understand Bible. He is a minister of Baal (Satan) read Hebrews 8:13 (When God speaks of a "new" covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear). Let read Act 6:3-4 - Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. Verse This is what True ministers of the Gospel do (4) But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word
It's sad to draw on such a week analogy. Now the only way to grow and sustain your ministry is to beef up miracles. Good luck
Asem be ba dabi. This man is not a man of God. in fact, he does not even know God. He is Okomfo in disguise.
this man is super drunk with alomo bitters, you don't need to mind him, is just wasting our time,as it is now he's boozed, he is nobody to reckon with. stomach prophet. if the money stop flowing from confused president @ flagstaff house then he will stop saying 9onsense! with empty head.
CHRIST IS MERCIFUL BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THE GRACE WILL NOT BE THERE FOREVER. A PROPHET DIVORCING TWO TIMES AND REMARRYING THREE TIMES. DOES HE READS THE BIBLE? IN THE GENESIS WHERE GOD REFERS TO THE WOMAN IN RELATIONS TO THE BONE OF THE MAN IS A SINGLE BONE BUT MANY BONES. THIS MAN HAS TO HUMBLE HIMSELF AND ACCEPT THAT HE IS A SINNER AND ASKS FOR FORGIVENESS.
What do you know about Jesus Christ having married and divorced for second time. You have now married for the third time when none of your wives committed adultery. Your end is coming soon.
