Members of the Believers World Centre, also known as the Philadelphia Movement, have denied accusations that their leader, Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, has compared himself to Jesus Christ.

The Christian Council of Ghana (CCG) recently criticized Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah in a statement titled 'Beware of false teachers and messiahs,' alleging that he suggested his image could replace the traditional representation of Jesus.

The CCG asserts that Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah is neither the Jesus Christians seek nor can he be.

In response, the Philadelphia Movement has clarified that their leader has never positioned himself as Jesus Christ or encouraged his followers to view him in that light. Instead, Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah emphasizes the importance of submitting solely to Jesus Christ.

The Philadelphia Movement's statement asserts that the CCG’s comments stem from a misunderstanding of the Prophet’s remarks. They argue that Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah has consistently focused on preaching Christ and guiding his followers to live in accordance with Jesus' teachings.

They also explained that the Prophet’s remarks about the staurogram—an ancient Christian symbol—were intended as a prophetic message, which individuals are free to accept or reject as they see fit.
