The Senior Pastor of Victory Bible Church International, Victory Cathedral, Bishop Dr Elvis Kessey has revealed that negative prophecies create vacuum for the enemy to attack.
According to Bishop Kessey, who is also a Prophet, any prophecy whether from God or not has the tendency to happen.
“Once a prophecy is uttered, there is a probability of it to manifest whether it is from God or not and therefore Prophets must be careful how they reveal utterances in public” he explained.
He was speaking on Adinkra Radio New York with Daakyehene Ofosu Agyeman in response to a statement by Presidential Envoy for the Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations Office, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah on a new directive requiring religious leaders to submit prophecies of national significance for official review.
In a letter issued on Sunday, August 10, 2025, the office urged clergy across the country to formally present any prophecy or spiritual insight relating to high-profile political leaders, governance, national security, or public stability to its office for urgent assessment.
This comes in the wake of viral videos on social media following the August 6 helicopter crash that killed eight people, including two cabinet ministers.
In the videos, some self-proclaimed men of God claimed they had foreseen the crash in visions and issued warnings that were ignored.
Bishop Kessey welcomed the idea from the Presidency and added that it is not every prophecy that is meant for public consumption.
“Prophecies concerning high profile people must be handled with wisdom as Nathan did in the Bible when there was a direct message to King David” he explained.
He revealed further that Angels are assigned task if the prophecy is from God and the same way demons and principalities follow up on any negative message from the devil.
