His Eminence Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson, Chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and Social Sciences at the Vatican, has urged clergy and prophets to intercede in prayer before publicly announcing any prophecy, especially those foretelling disaster.
His advice follows a directive from the Presidential Envoy for the Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations Office, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, requiring that any prophecy or spiritual revelation concerning high-profile political leaders, governance, national security, or public stability be submitted for urgent assessment.
The directive, issued on Sunday, August 10, came in the wake of viral social media videos following the August 6 helicopter crash, which killed eight people, including two cabinet ministers.

Speaking to Citi News on Wednesday, August 13, ahead of the August 22 inauguration of the John Kofi Turkson Memorial Institute in the Central Region—named after his late brother who died in the 2000 Kenya Airways Flight 431 crash in Abidjan—Cardinal Turkson said prophecies should prompt prayer before public declaration.
“If a prophecy reveals the possibility of disaster, your first act should be to intercede with God before announcing it,” he said. “When God shared with Abraham His intent to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham pleaded for mercy. Likewise, if God shares such knowledge with you, pray first and ask for His intervention.”
The Cardinal also cautioned against using prophecies to assert spiritual authority, questioning the basis for determining a prophet’s credibility.
“It is interesting when people advise others to listen only to credible prophets, but who defines credibility, and by what criteria? These are questions that need answers. In any case, wherever prophecies occur and God makes His knowledge known to you, consider the content carefully. If it requires intervention, please do that before communicating it to anyone,” he advised.
