Prophet Fire Oja, founder of the Holiness of Christ Zion Ministry, has faced criticism online after saying the government should provide car and fuel money to prophets who are required to submit their prophecies for review.
In an interview shared on social media, the preacher said not all prophets can afford to travel to the Jubilee House to present their spiritual revelations.
According to him, if the state wants such prophecies delivered, it should cover transportation costs.

“If the government says we should come to the Jubilee House with our prophecies, they should also give us car money and fuel. Not all of us can afford to travel there. If they want to hear it in person, they should take care of our transport,” he said.
His comments came after the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations issued a directive for religious leaders to formally submit any prophecy or spiritual insight of national importance for review.
However, many Ghanaians online believe Prophet Fire Oja’s statement is an indirect rejection of the new policy.

One user argued that no prophet should demand anything in return for sharing a message from God, writing, “People have been swayed and are being led by blind men. There’s no prophet who must demand something in return for the message or revelations from God. Learn from the prophets of the Bible. Remember that Paul said the carnal or materialistic man is bound?”
Another commenter described the preacher as a con man hiding behind religion, saying, “You don’t need a soothsayer to tell you the modus operandi of these conmen disguised as prophets. In their minds, a plethora of Ghanaians are impressionable, especially when the discourse revolves around religion, spirituality, divination, and so forth. In the end, they win.”
A netizen also accused him of looking for a way to take money from the state, writing, “He just wants to cash out. They predict something that is likely to happen in some form and exploit the system.”
