Spiritualist cum fetish priest Nana Kwaku Bonsam has recommended a ritual bath at midnight on the banks of a river for Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, the founder of the Glorious Word Ministry international, who has become a subject of controversy. �I can honestly tell you that the man won�t stop misbehaving. He is not the one acting; it is something that is worrying him and that thing would not go away until he goes for deliverance from a true man of God. If he feels too big to do that, then let him go for a ritual bath by a river at night. There are so many genuine traditionalists who can help him. I can be of help if he wants,� Bonsam told News-One in a telephone interview from his New York base on Sunday. The fetish priest explained further: �I am not a pastor. I am a seer but the bible Owusu-Bempah preaches from tells me that by their fruits, we shall know them and from the fruits I am seeing the man is not behaving like the Jesus Christ he is supposed to be behaving like. �He has politicized the church on partisan lines and if his prediction that a particular party would win the elections has turned out to be a false prophecy, he should stop covering up by saying the winner would die simply because he does not support the person who won. �I am a spiritualist myself and I can tell you that it is possible to take someone�s soul in the spiritual realms and kill the person. So when he comes out and says someone would die, let us ask him what he had done to the person�s soul. What type of pastor sees only bad things about people and the only time he said a good thing about someone�s victory that victory did not happen.� Rev. Owusu-Bempah has come under severe attacks after his prediction that President John Mahama would die a premature death. Owusu-Bempah also took offence and lashed out at other Men of God who cautioned him on the prophecy about the President�s death. Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams o the Christian Action Faith Ministries, Bishop Agyin-Asare of the Word Miracle Church and Rev. Mawuli Dzidula-Agudogo, Head Pastor of Teshie Parish of the Global Evangelical Church, are some of the several pastors who have cautioned Rev Owusu Bempah about his prediction and style. But Rev. Owusu-Bempah disregarded their caution and fired back at Bishop Agyin-Asare to keep quite because he was not a prophet. He also expressed surprise that Duncan Williams was questioning his credibility. Rev Owusu Bempah said he had some very serious prophecies about Duncan-Williams in time past and that the Archbishop even came to him for guidance on the best way forward.
