Apostle Francis Amoako Atta, founder and leader of the Lord’s Parliament Chapel, has urged fellow prophets to focus on packaging their 31st December Watch Night prophecies.
He says prophecy in itself is not a problem, since it is a call to service. The issue, he notes, is the form of the messages, which can spark fear and panic because of how it is delivered.
His comment comes amid concerns over doom prophecies flooding the country each 31st December.
The practice, which has been in existence for some time, prompted former IGP Dr. George Akuffo Dampare to warn that those issuing doom prophecies about people, especially public officers and celebrities, would face legal action.
In an OnuaOnline interview on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, Apostle Amoako Attah said, “The problem isn’t the prophecy, but how we package it and go about it.”
He continued that “if we package it very well” prophecies will not come with issues.
The Apostle stressed that maturity is key, citing Apostle Paul’s biblical advice to adjust one’s approach as they grow. “The way you package the message will either bring problem or comfort,” he said, adding, “everything is based on maturity. I pray we all mature in the coming year.”
Prior to this, the National Peace Council (NPC) had 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.
