- Apostle Opoku Onyina has urged Christians to test all prophecies and revelations against scripture.
- He warned that supernatural signs can come from deceptive sources, including Satan.
- Onyina emphasized that the origin of a prophecy matters more than its accuracy.
- He cited biblical examples to show how false prophets can mimic divine acts.
- The cleric stressed the need for spiritual discernment in identifying genuine revelations.
- His message comes amid rising concerns over misleading prophecies in Ghana’s religious landscape.
Apostle Opoku Onyina, former Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, has issued a sobering reminder to Christians: not every prophecy is divine, and not every revelation should be trusted. Speaking on the topic of spiritual discernment, Onyina urged believers to test all messages against scripture, warning that even Satan can reveal hidden truths — but with destructive consequences.
His message arrives at a time when prophetic declarations are increasingly shaping public discourse, from political predictions to personal warnings. Onyina’s concern is not just about falsehood, but about the subtle blend of truth and deception that makes some prophecies dangerously convincing.
Using biblical examples, he reminded viewers that Pharaoh’s magicians were able to replicate Moses’ miracles, proving that supernatural signs can originate from ungodly sources. He also referenced Apostle Paul’s encounter with diviners who appeared to praise him, yet operated from a deceptive spirit.
Onyina stressed that discernment is key. In today’s spiritual climate, where prophets and seers abound, it’s no longer enough to be impressed by accuracy or spectacle. Believers must examine the source, the spirit behind the message, and whether it aligns with scripture.
His remarks follow a wave of controversial prophecies in Ghana, including political predictions and death warnings that have stirred public anxiety. Onyina’s call is clear: spiritual maturity requires vigilance, and true faith demands wisdom.
