Prophet Jedidia Henry Kore, popularly known as Fire Oja, has appealed to the government for logistical support to enable prophets to comply with Ghana’s new prophecy directive.
The directive, issued by the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations on August 10, requires religious leaders to present any prophecy or spiritual revelation of national significance for official review before making it public. It particularly targets revelations about high-profile political figures, governance, national security, or issues that could affect public order.
According to Fire Oja, some prophets may find it challenging to meet the requirement without adequate resources. “We appeal to the government to provide us with vehicles and fuel so we can submit our prophecies. Personally, I do not own a car, and this would cause me considerable stress,” he said.
The call comes amid heightened public interest in prophetic messages following the August 6 military helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region, which claimed the lives of eight prominent individuals, including Defence Minister Dr Edward Omane Boamah and Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation Dr Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed.
Some faith leaders have welcomed the directive as a step toward responsible spiritual communication, while others argue it could limit their freedom to share divine messages. The Office of the Presidential Envoy maintains that the policy is aimed at safeguarding national stability and ensuring that prophecies are delivered with accuracy and responsibility.
