Prophets are now perceived as ‘conmen’ – Mensa Otabil

The General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Pastor Mensa Otabil has said due to the conduct of some men of God, prophets are now perceived as “conmen.”

Preaching to a congregation on Sunday, October 6, Mensa Otabil stated that the scared title ‘prophet’ has now been “cheapened and commoditised.”

The revered man of God believes the absence of a regulatory body for pastors and religious leaders accounts for the dissipation of the sacred title.

“How can we take such a sacred title that Isaiah had, that Jeremiah had, all of these great people, and commoditize it and cheapen it so much that now this noble title almost means a conman? Because there is no regulatory body, everybody picks title as they want and parades with it,” he said while preaching to a congregation at the desert pastures, Bolgatanga (home church of rev. Eastwood Anaba).
