Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, has slammed the Founder and Head of Glorious Word Ministry International, Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, describing him as a �charlatan� for prophesying that President Mahama might die this year but the calamity can be averted if the President sought the face of God in prayers. Taking a direct swipe at Rev. Owusu Bempah on Metro Tv�s Good Morning Ghana programme, Kwesi Pratt catalogued a litany of options that might have influenced the �man of God� to publicly air the prophesy he claims God revealed to him. According to him, it is crystal clear that the side effect of �high fever� might have played a pivotal role in the choice of vision Rev. Bempah received. The founder and Head of Glorious Word Ministry International, Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, courted controversy last week when he went to town with a revelation from God concerning the untimely death of President Mahama unless he (President Mahama) and his advisors take steps to reverse the calamity. Responding to Rev. Owusu-Bempah�s latest outburst to the other men of God who also openly criticized him (Owusu-Bempah), Kwesi Pratt urged the populace never to give the �prophet� an ear nor attach any form of seriousness to his messages. �People do hallucinate sometimes and when people are affected with diseases like high fever and so on, they can see all kinds of visions...I don�t know why you take such people seriously because these high fever patients and so on, they would tell you that they dream up all kind of things,� he said. He vowed not to personally waste his time on �charlatans� like Rev. Owusu-Bempah and his likes who have consistently tried to portray themselves as close associates of God.
