Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, the founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International has boldly fired back at the founder of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Dr Mensa Otabil.
According to Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, Mensa Otabil cannot tell him that 95 per cent of the in Ghana are fake.
He claimed that next week he will let his congregants know that false teachers are more dangerous than false prophets.
Owusu Bempah further asserted that Dr Mensa Otabil is attempting to lift his teachings at the expense of collapsing prophetic churches.
He noted that some time ago Mensa Otabil stated no one should have a vision, but he had a vision that darkness had engulfed the country.
Speaking to his congregation during a sermon on Sunday, March 16, 2025, Reverend Owusu Bempah explained, “Next week, I will go into prophetic, and I will let you see that false teachers are more dangerous than false prophets. So you cannot come and tell me that 95% of Ghanaian prophets are fake.
I will prove to him that he is a liar. Now he even says no one should have vision, but he had a vision; there was a time he came to say that he had seen darkness engulfing the country”.
Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah further added, “He says God does not reveal anything to us, but who revealed that to him? Papa, we respect you, but we won’t allow you to lift yours at the expense of collapsing prophetic churches.
At times, you even call us cockroaches. The last time, he referred to followers of prophets as fools. Papa, we respect you a lot. But for the respect that I have, I would have stood on the word of God and told you my mind”, he added.
Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah’s comments come after Dr Mensa Otabil questioned why prophets and church leaders are elevating themselves above Jesus Christ in recent times.
Dr Mensa Otabil stated, “These days, instead of us saying, ‘Jesus did it’, ‘Jesus is the way’, ‘Jesus is the healer’, ‘Jesus is the Saviour,’ we say things like ‘The grace of this house will deliver you’.
Or, a man of God will say, ‘The grace upon my life will open doors for you’; ‘If you touch me, you’ve touched grace’. And then a new one that I’m hearing these days, ‘There is blessing on this altar’; ‘This is the altar I prayed, and God heard me’,” he said.
He further added, “Wherever the presence of Jesus descends, there is power there. The place you, Dr. Mensa Otabil, stood to conduct your teaching, what shows that there is no power there?
Maybe you do not possess the eyes to see, but if you do have the eyes, you would know that there is power there. So, Dr. Mensa Otabil, you will have to reconsider and start saying something else”, he stated.
Meanwhile, Owusu Bempah some months Dr. Isaac Owusu-Bempah also fired shots at Pastor Mensa Otabil who claims God does not choose leaders.
Rev Owusu Bempah said, “I don’t agree with my Senior Pastor Otabil, because he is also a leader that God has called, I believe but he is not clean one hundred percent, I Owusu Bempah I am not clean one hundred percent, no one is clean one hundred percent”.
“No matter how good you are you are going to sin, so the fact that some leaders made mistakes does not mean God does not choose leaders, including men of God, they make mistakes, but God still calls men of God. Which leader chosen by God had no faults in the Bible? Moses had faults, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, David, and Samson, and many of them had faults. The fact that they were not perfect does not mean that God made a mistake and did not choose them”, he added.
