Bempah makes reconciliatory visit to Chief Imam’s residence
Accra – Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word and Power Ministry has paid a reconciliatory visit to the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Dr Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, at his Fadama residence.
This comes after unpleasant reactions following a watch-night service prophecy of the imminent deaths of some eminent Muslim persons.
The National Chief Imam was among those Owusu Bempah called for fervent prayers to avert their demise in 2019.
In a brief speech, the reverend said he had come to express gratitude to the peace-loving and fatherly Chief Imam for his timely intervention in the euphoria that followed his prophecy.
He said the Chief Imam’s intervention showed him a man full of love for Ghana, and that without his call for peace, one could not have fathomed the aftermath.
Rev Bempah called the Chief Imam his father, saying his visit to him only marks the beginning of many further visits and asked for God’s blessings for him and all assembled.
He also pledged to drop all charges against the irate Muslim youth who vandalised his church properties after the 31st-night pronouncements.
In the company of Rev. Owusu Bempah was a former Minister of Health, Mr. Samuel Nuamah Donkor, who described himself as a father to Owusu Bempah, and other two elders (Council members) of the Glorious Word and Power Ministry.
The National Chief Imam in his speech called for peaceful coexistence among persons with different ideologies and backgrounds.
With reference to the Quran, he indicated that differences such as tribe, religion and gender were made by Allah for identification purposes and not to sow seeds of discord.
“Things happen for a reason. If not for this incident I wouldn’t have gotten close to him” he added.
The Chair of the Chief Imam’s Advisory Board, Gado Mohammed thanked the pastor for showing interest in maintaining the peace that has long existed between the two faiths.
“Muslims and Christians all have faith in God that is why they are referred to as faith people…the peace that we have had in this country is not anything like others have had in many other countries.
“This is because the two faiths are at peace with each other and we should not take it for granted. We have worked for it,” he said.
