Apostle Francis Amoako Atta, Founder and Leader of Prliament Chapel International (PCI), has appealed to renowned Ghanaian pastors Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei Duah and Prophet Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom, popularly known as Opambour and their junior pastors, to resolve their differences and promote unity within the Christian community.
His comments follow a public disagreement between the two pastors, which gained attention after Opambour criticised Prophet Adom Kyei Duah over a prophecy concerning the Black Stars’ qualification campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking on the matter on Okay fm, Apostle Amoako Atta cautioned that conflicts among influential religious leaders could have wider consequences for the church, describing the situation as one where “when two elephants fight, the grass suffers.”
He urged family members, church leaders and close associates of both pastors to intervene and encourage dialogue for the sake of peace within the body of Christ.
“Blessed are the peacemakers. From today, their loved ones and heads of their churches should speak to them so that there can be peace in the body of Christ,” he said.
The Apostle stressed that there should be no room for envy or rivalry among men of God, adding that Christian leaders must demonstrate humility and love in their dealings with one another.
He praised both pastors pointing out that, they both gained great influence through ministry, noting that the large number of people who attend their programmes and the recognition they receive from prominent personalities reflect a special responsibility.
Apostle Amoako Atta said the visit of national leaders, including the President, to a church indicates the level of trust and recognition accorded to a man of God, and therefore requires wisdom and maturity in conduct.
“When a current president leaves other churches and comes to your church, it is a great blessing and recognition God has given you,” he said.
He advised Prophet Adom Kyei Duah to remain patient and avoid taking certain criticisms personally, explaining that his position comes with the responsibility of protecting the lives and faith of those who look up to him.
The Apostle also cautioned both pastors against responding to every public comment, arguing that silence can sometimes be a powerful tool.
“In the school of life, you are not powerful just because you react. Anytime you give your attention to somebody, you have invested your time and energy,” he said.
He added that as leaders who have attained significant influence, their strength should not be measured by social media reactions but by their ability to maintain dignity, restraint and peace.
Quoting biblical passages including 2 Samuel 12:14 and 1 John 4:20-21, Apostle Amoako Atta emphasised the need for love, forgiveness and unity among Christians.
He urged the two pastors and other religious leaders to remember that they represent one body and should work together to strengthen the church rather than engage in conflicts that could divide believers.
