Founder and leader of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Apostle Dr. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, has boldly claimed a significant spiritual role in shaping Ghana’s presidential elections.

In a recent interview, the prominent pastor stated that no individual can rise to the presidency without his influence, emphasizing his crucial role in the electoral process.

On October 8, 2024, Rev. Owusu-Bempah reflected on the spiritual aspects of leadership and power in Ghana, citing the biblical account of Jacob and Esau.

He referenced how Jacob, aided by divine intervention and his mother Rebecca, received the blessings intended for Esau.

He likened this biblical narrative to the current political landscape in Ghana, specifically in relation to former President John Dramani Mahama.

“The burden on John Mahama has been lifted because he needed a mighty hand on him, and that is my hand,” Rev. Owusu-Bempah said on Okay FM.

He explained that Mahama faced spiritual barriers that initially prevented him from reclaiming the presidency.

“I have said in the past that Mahama, due to circumstances, would never become president, and indeed, he lost the 2016 and 2020 elections. But in 2021, I declared in my church that the yoke on Mahama is now broken, and with persistence, he can ascend the presidency,” he revealed.

Rev. Owusu-Bempah asserted that he holds a significant influence in deciding who will become the president of Ghana.

“I am very humbled and a man of God. I say this to the glory of God – no one can sit on the presidential throne without my involvement,” he said.

His comments have sparked widespread debate throughout the country, prompting many to question the extent of his influence and the involvement of religious leaders in political affairs. The assertion that Mahama's political prospects rely on his spiritual guidance has resonated strongly, especially with the upcoming 2024 presidential elections.

Rev. Owusu-Bempah has a history of making predictions about Ghana's political landscape, including forecasts for previous elections, which have drawn both supporters and critics.

With these latest remarks, he is once again igniting discussions about the relationship between religion and politics in Ghana.

As the 2024 elections approach, his statements have already garnered significant attention from both political and religious circles.
