Apostle Francis Amoako Attah has strongly condemned fellow prophets, Christians and sections of the Ghanaian public who criticised Prophet Bernard ElBernard following his failed prophecy that Kennedy Agyepong would win the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primary.
Speaking during a church service, Apostle Amoako Attah urged critics to show restraint and understanding, insisting that a failed prophecy does not negate a prophet’s calling.
He cited biblical history to argue that God’s plans do not always align with human expectations.
“Prophets have failed before, and that does not mean they are not called by God,” he told the congregation. “God has His own plans and timing.”
The apostle expressed concern about what he described as double standards in religious circles, noting that when traditional priests encounter challenges, they are rarely publicly attacked by their peers, but prophets are often openly criticised by fellow prophets and Christians.
“When a prophet has an issue, you see prophets and Christians crucifying him so that he cannot rise again,” he said.
Apostle Amoako Attah openly declared his support for the Founder and General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun, stating that he constantly prays for him and believes firmly in his divine calling.
“I am not jealous of any prophet. I know this gentleman is called by God. I know he is a vessel and a blessing to Ghana,” he stated.
Drawing parallels from the Bible, he referenced the prophet Elijah, who at one point fled and appeared defeated but later returned with greater power, calling down fire from heaven.
According to him, Prophet ElBernard’s current challenges could precede a stronger comeback.
He prayed publicly for Prophet ElBernard’s restoration, encouragement and elevation, expressing confidence that he would return stronger than before and overcome his critics.
“Your coming back is more important to me. I know you will rise again, stronger. May God strengthen you, put your enemies to shame and lift you up,” he declared.
Prophet Bernard ElBernard has recently been at the centre of public debate after his prophecy regarding the outcome of the NPP presidential primary did not materialise, sparking criticism and discussions about prophetic declarations in Ghana’s religious space.
