In a compelling broadcast on Angel TV, Apostle Francis Amoako Attah, Founder and Leader of Parliament Chapel International (PCI), a respected spiritual leader and social commentator, delivered a far-reaching message addressing the intersection of faith, technology, and societal transformation in Africa.
Apostle Attah underscored the urgent need for the Church and African nations to prepare for rapid change—both spiritual and technological—to avoid being left behind in an evolving global landscape.
Embracing the 24-Hour Economy and Technological Advancements
Drawing attention to President Nana Akufo-Addo’s recent declaration that Ghana’s 24-hour economy initiative will commence next year, Apostle Attah highlighted this economic shift as not only a policy matter but also a spiritual challenge for the Church.
“If our president is talking about the 24-hour economy starting next year, then the Church must rise up and move forward,” he said, stressing that spiritual institutions must adapt to modern realities or face obsolescence.
He warned that in the next 120 years, traditional church attendance could dramatically decline if proactive steps are not taken.
The Apostle issued a stark warning about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the Church and the African continent if these institutions fail to engage with the new technological realities.
“AI can reshape the world; the Church must not ignore this but rather become ‘world-based prophets’ who understand God’s generational thinking,” he advised.
Prophecy and Spiritual Vigilance in a Changing World
Central to Apostle Attah’s message was the indispensable role of prophecy in African societies, especially during times of crisis.
He drew on Biblical passages, including Revelation 22 and Acts 11, to stress that prophecy is God’s tool to prepare His people for forthcoming challenges. “God neither sleeps nor slumbers,” he stated.
“It is against His constitution that something would happen without Him revealing it through prophecy.”
He reminded Ghanaians that many Biblical prophecies remain unfulfilled, a reason why some groups, like the Jewish people, remain skeptical about Christian teachings.
“We are still waiting for the fulfillment of prophecies; this is why the prophetic office cannot be dismissed or ignored.”
Apostle Attah also criticized what he described as hypocrisy among Ghanaians—especially during election periods when prophetic voices are welcomed, only to be later attacked or discredited. “We are on a war front,” he warned. “If you throw your spiritual fighters overboard, victory will be difficult to achieve.”
The Need for Innovation Beyond Tradition
Reflecting on lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, Apostle Attah urged a break from outdated ways of thinking and acting.
“During corona time, I said this: if you continue to farm with a cutlass, you will be left behind. The world is moving fast, and the next generation knows propaganda, complaints, and campaigns. We are doomed if we do not change.”
He stressed that this change must include economic transformation, cultural renewal, and spiritual awakening. “Jesus said, ‘Occupy till I come’; this means engaging actively in business and societal progress.”
A Call to Action for Ghana and Africa
Apostle Attah’s message was both a caution and a call to action: to embrace technology thoughtfully, to value prophetic insight, and to prepare for generational shifts.
He implored African leaders and citizens alike to think beyond immediate electoral cycles and partisan divides, adopting a long-term vision for growth and stability.
In conclusion, Apostle Attah warned against complacency and urged vigilance. “The Church and society cannot afford to ignore the prophetic voice or the realities of technological change. Those who prepare will thrive; those who do not, risk decline.”
As Ghana embarks on ambitious economic reforms and confronts new challenges, Apostle Francis Amoako Attah’s words serve as a poignant reminder that spiritual foresight and technological adaptability are critical to shaping a resilient and prosperous future for the nation and continent.
