Renowned Ghanaian UK-based gospel singer, Sonnie Badu, has called out pastors who gain attention by prophesying the deaths of prominent individuals, stating that such declarations do not indicate spiritual power.
In recent years, Ghana has witnessed an increase in so-called “doom prophecies,” with several self-proclaimed prophets predicting tragic events, often targeting influential figures.
However, Sonnie Badu believes this trend is misguided and serves only to create fear rather than edify the people.
His comments come in response to a recent prophecy about the supposed impending death of Ghana’s Vice President, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang.
Addressing the issue, he urged pastors to exercise wisdom when delivering prophecies.
“Dear major and minor prophets, there is something called the word of wisdom, which simply means that whatever you see, you should speak with wisdom,” Badu stated.
“Prophesying someone’s death does not make you powerful; rather, it makes you a prophet of doom.”
Badu’s remarks have sparked discussions online, with many agreeing that the growing culture of fear-driven prophecies is damaging.
He emphasized that true spiritual leadership should bring hope and guidance rather than panic and distress.
As debates continue over the role of prophecies in Ghanaian society, Sonnie Badu’s message serves as a call for responsible and ethical prophetic ministry.
