The report indicates that the Ghana Muslim Forum for Peace and Unity has issued a sharp response to Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, declaring that the destiny of former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia lies in the hands of God.
It further notes that the group stated Dr. Bawumia’s future will be decided by God alone, not by curses, threats or prophecies from a man.
The strong rebuke was contained in a press statement issued on Thursday, September 10, and signed by the forum’s Executive Secretary, Dr. Zakari Abdul Rahman, following what the forum describes as Rev. Owusu Bempah’s latest attacks on Dr. Bawumia.
On Sunday, September 6, Rev. Owusu Bempah, during a church service, boasted that Dr. Bawumia cannot become president unless he says so, and threatened to spiritually terminate his political career if his communicators do not stop responding to him.
He also alleged that Dr. Bawumia and the NPP’s Nasara Wing were planning to attack his church.
This comes after his August 9 declaration that anyone who votes for the NPP would be cursed and that Dr. Bawumia would never be president while he lives.
The Muslim Forum stated the pastor needs to be reminded who holds power over destinies.
“We wish to remind Rev. Owusu Bempah that Bawumia’s destiny lies in the hands of God, not you. You did not create him, you do not sustain him, and you cannot determine his future,” the statement said.
The Forum stated Ghana’s history and faith traditions are clear – kings and presidents are raised and removed by God.
Citing both the Qur’an and the Bible, the group quoted:
Qur’an 3:26: “Say, O Allah, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. In Your hand is all good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.”
Daniel 2:21: “He changes times and seasons; He deposes kings and raises up others.”
According to the forum, if God wills that Dr. Bawumia becomes president of Ghana, no human being – no matter how loud or self-acclaimed – can stop it. And if it is not God’s will, no human effort can force it.
The group described Rev. Owusu Bempah’s conduct as an attempt to play God and a dangerous display of religious extremism.
