Direct all prophecies to the Office of the Presidential Envoy – Govt entreats men of God
The government has appealed to church leaders and prophets to channel all national prophecies and spiritual revelations to the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations before making them public.
In a statement signed by the Presidential Envoy, Mr. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, the government said the move is to ensure responsibility and proper handling of messages that concern high-profile political leaders, national security, governance, or public stability.
The statement thanked all church leaders and their congregations for their continued prayers, moral guidance, and efforts to promote peace and unity in the country.
It said their role in Ghana’s spiritual and civic life remains critical.
It asked the clergy to instruct prophets, men and women of God under their leadership to share such national messages directly with his office for urgent review and action.
The statement called for special prayers for the President, the government, state institutions, bereaved families, and the entire nation following a recent tragic accident that claimed lives, including those of government officials, military personnel, and NDC party executives.
It expressed hope that God would comfort the bereaved, guide national leaders, and continue to protect Ghana.
The statement assured the faith community of the government’s commitment to work with them for the peace and prosperity of the country.

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.

Ghana has signed a debt restructuring agreement with the Kingdom of Belgium as part of efforts to restore the country’s economic stability after the financial crisis that hit the nation in 2022 and 2023.
The Minister of Finance, Cassiel Ato Forson, today disclosed that he signed the agreement on behalf of the Government of Ghana.
He explained that Ghana experienced a very difficult period during the crisis, which forced the government at the time to declare a debt default.
However, he indicated that the country is now recovering and witnessing a significant economic turnaround.
According to him, stronger systems are also being put in place to ensure that Ghana does not return to such a situation again.
Dr Forson noted that the agreement with Belgium is the eighth deal Ghana has concluded with countries under the Official Creditor Committee as part of its external debt restructuring programme.
He expressed appreciation to the Government of Belgium for its support and partnership with Ghana during the process.
The Finance Minister thanked Carole van Eyll, Ambassador of Belgium to Ghana, for her role in strengthening relations between the two countries.
The agreement forms part of Ghana’s broader effort to restructure its external debts and stabilise the economy following the crisis.
