Apostle Francis Amoako Atta, founder and leader of the Lord’s Parliament Chapel, has urged fellow prophets to be mature when delivering their end-of-year prophecies.
He says they don’t need a directive from the IGP – unlike when former IGP Dr. George Akuffo Dampare gave guidance due to how some prophets deliver their messages.
In an exclusive interview with OnuaOnline on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, the man of God advised Christian leaders to focus on positivity as the Bible urges, reminding them of their key role as societal gatekeepers.
“We don’t need Dampare’s orders. We need to think about the nation’s safety and people’s well-being. We seers are the gatekeepers. We have to make sure – the Bible says tell the righteous it’ll be well, not ‘you’ll panic’. When God decides to speak, He can speak any day, anytime, through visions, dreams, anywhere. So waiting for an IGP to instruct us prophets what to do is below the belt,” he advised.
Apostle Amoako Atta expressed optimism that the coming year will shape prophets to mature and appreciate their societal role, doing away with the conventional annual doom prophecies.
“I believe from now on, prophets will mature enough to bring sanity and peace to the prophetic office. Not every year, immediately after New Year, it’s all about prophets. If God can prophecy against evil, He can see good too. Let’s balance it and package it well so it doesn’t spread fear,” he counseled.
Meanwhile, the National Peace Council (NPC) had earlier delivered a similar advise, warning that doom prophecies, if unchecked, could put the peace and social cohesion in disarray.
Public Relations Manager of the National Peace Council, Kwesi Yirenkyi Boateng, said on Accra-based Citi FM on Monday, December 29, 2025, that prophets, pastors, evangelists and others alike, should remember the directive given by the IGP, Dr. Dampare, when delivering their prophecies.
“I believe the level we have gotten to as a nation, we all understand what it means with the directive the former IGP gave. But be that as it may, we ought to also be cautious and measured in the prophecies that we share,” he admonished.
He urged religious leaders to prioritise peaceful coexistence and national interest above sensationalism when delivering their end-of-year prophecies.
While acknowledging that prophecies remain a vital element in Christian worship and biblical tradition, the manner with which it is delivered is very crucial.
He referenced a biblical example to illustrate how sensitive messages can be delivered without provoking fear or social instability.
“I think with respect to Prophet Nathan telling David about his sins, which he committed with Uriah and all those things, Prophet Nathan put it allegorically, and then he confronted David nicely. Prophecies should come, but we need to see how we deliver these prophecies so that they won’t disturb the peaceful coexistence. It won’t disturb or unnecessarily exacerbate the tension in the country,” he advised.
