Gospel musician Sonnie Badu (L) and Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang (R)
Ghanaian gospel musician and preacher, Sonnie Badu, has called on pastors in the country to be cautious about how they publicly dish out prophesies.
In a post shared on Instagram on April 2, 2025, Sonnie Badu said publicly prophesying an individual’s death without offering them a path to redemption does not demonstrate power but rather makes one as a prophet of doom.
“I have seen, in recent times, prophets lose family members, and when you see how devastated and broken, they were, you would understand that losing a family member is no joke.
“Dear major and minor prophets, there is something called the word of wisdom, which means that whatever you see, you should speak with wisdom. Prophesying someone’s death does not make you powerful; rather, it makes you a prophet of doom … and I can tell you for free that once there is revelation then there is redemption…. Revelation without redemption is not God speaking.” he stated.
Sonnie Badu emphasised that prophets in the country should exercise wisdom when delivering such prophecies, as they can cause fear and panic for the families of the individuals being prophesied about.
“I plead with all prophets, both major and minor, to apply wisdom because the people you mention have family members, and such prophecies bring fear. As you grow, you mature in the things of God,” he said.
He made these statements in response to a video circulating on social media in which Prophet Eric Boahen Uche prophesied about a purported unfortunate incident concerning Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.
This video surfaced recently, following the announcement from the presidency about the Vice President’s ill-health.
However, Sonnie Badu firmly stated that the Vice President’s health issues are simply a result of stress accumulated from the election period until now, with little rest.
“To our Vice President, Mummy, get well soon. Please take time to rest. The truth is, that you gave your all during the campaign and have not rested. I am praying for you. Love you loads, Mummy,” he stated.
