Bishop Adongo Joseph, Founder and General Overseer of Prosperity City Chapel International, has challenged the widely held belief that every doom prophecy must necessarily be averted, stating that some prophecies can be foreseen but not prevented.
Speaking in an interview with MzGee on Behind The Pulpit, the bishop explained that while prayer and spiritual interventions can avert certain prophetic warnings, others are inevitable.
“There are prophecies you can see but you cannot avert. You can only see it, but you cannot avert it,” he said.
Bishop Adongo stressed that prophecies must always be delivered responsibly and within proper context, not to instill fear or cause panic.
“Prophecy must be delivered in context — not to create fear, not to create disaster, not to destroy. We do not wish evil prophecies to manifest; we do not wish they come to pass,” he added.
To buttress his point, he referenced Ghana’s tragic June 3, 2015, flood and fire disaster, recalling a conversation with his mentor, Archbishop Charles Agyinasare.
“I remember the June 3 disaster. My mentor, Archbishop Agyin Asare, said to me, ‘Prophet, you told me there was going to be rain that would kill people around Circle.’ Some of these things, you cannot avert,” he recounted.
The bishop further revealed that he had earlier informed his congregation during a December 31, 2024, service about an impending national tragedy involving prominent figures but deliberately chose not to publicise it.
“The national disaster that happened with the aeroplane — I told them there was going to be a national funeral. But I would not come on air to blow it. I am advertising Jesus, not myself,” he said.
Bishop Adongo’s comments add to the ongoing public discourse on prophecies, accountability, and the role of religious leaders in communicating sensitive spiritual revelations.
