Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, the Founder and Leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, has clarified his 2017 prophecy, which he claimed John Mahama could never become president again.
It will be recalled, the man of God had prophesied that any attempt for John Mahama to return to the presidency would be unsuccessful.
Speaking in an interview on GHOne TV on December 6, 2017, Rev Owusu-Bempah stated, “No human being can change what God has said. I respect former President Mahama, but God says he can never be president of the country again.
He has been helpful to Ghana and has done what he can, so I wish him well in all his endeavors. But to become the president of Ghana, it will never happen”.
He added, “I will urge the NDC to stop considering the president for 2020 because he won’t win and can never win an election again. Those campaigning for him to be brought back should stop, because if they succeed in getting him to lead the NDC in 2020, the party will lose again and remain in opposition for a long time”.
In a recent remark speaking to his congregation, Rev Owusu Bempah clarified, explaining that his prophecy came with a condition that Mahama could still become president if “a mighty hand” delivered him from the curse.
He stated, “People say Prophet Owusu-Bempah said President Mahama can never be president again but they have forgotten that God revealed to me in 2021 that he could become president again only if a mighty hand helps him.
“He needed the hand of an anointed man of God. If that mighty hand of God fell on him, he could become president again. They have forgotten that mighty men of God prayed for him to fulfil what God said,” Owusu-Bempah explained.
He added, “All men of God met to pray for him. Sam Korankye Ankrah and other powerful pastors were there, and all of them prayed for Mahama. After that, I and another man of God, an archbishop, also prayed for him, and all hindrances were removed,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah has descended heavily on the erstwhile New Patriotic Party (NPP) government led by former President Akufo-Addo.
According to Rev Owusu Bempah, the former Akufo-Addo government deceived him in the past with promises they failed to fulfil.
He highlighted that he did his part of the bargain, but the NPP failed to fulfil their part of the bargain.
Speaking to his congregation on Sunday, October 19, 2025, Rev Owusu-Bempah stated, “Sometime ago, we worked for nothing; we worked in vain. We fasted and prayed for nothing. They reneged on all the promises they made to us. Because of this, we had to make them go home. We needed to put them in a cage; some were pushed into the forest.
“You make a promise to me and fail to keep it. I fulfilled my side of the deal, but you reneged on yours; then the God of David would punish you… When you labour, you must enjoy its fruits,” he said in the Twi dialect.
He added, “Some people deceived me sometime past… This time around, we are not going to suffer for nothing. If you joke, we will push your car into a ditch.”
Rev Owusu Bempah further praised the John Mahama-led government.
According to him, the John Dramani Mahama administration and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have kept their promises to him.
He added that the NDC government are not like the former NPP government under Akufo-Addo, who locked him up after helping them gain power.
“These people (the current government) are wise. They honour promises. They are not like others I know, who even lock you up in addition,” he said.
