Members of the Believers World Centre also known as Philadelphia Movement have refuted claims suggesting that their leader, Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah has equated himself to the Son of God and the saviour of Christians, Jesus Christ.
The Christian Council of Ghana (CCG), in a press statement titled ‘Beware of false teachers and messiahs,’ condemned Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah, for suggesting that his face should be used as a replacement for the widely known ‘Jesus’ picture.’
According to the CCG, Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah is not and cannot be the Jesus that Christians seek.
Responding to the claims by the CCG, the Philadelphia Movement noted that, their leader has never equated himself to Jesus Christ, nor has he charged his followers to view him as such, rather he teaches his congregation to only submit to Jesus Christ.
“The text of the press statement indicates a clear misconception of the statement the Prophet of God made about the staurogram in particular and his teachings in general.
Nowhere has the Prophet of God said expressly or even impliedly that he is the Jesus Ghanaians seek in Ghana or the World at large as contained in the statement,” a statement from the Philadelphia Movement read.
The statement continued, “Had the proponents of the statement taken their time to listen and follow the teachings of the Prophet and not been swayed by mischief, doctrinal subterfuge and sheer envy, they would have realized that the Prophet of God has ceaselessly preached Christ, admonished Philadelphians to seek Christ and live their lives to please the only begotten son of God.”
The group maintained that Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah’s statement on Jesus’ picture was only a revelation from God that Christians can choose to either accept or reject.
“His statement about the staurogram was only prophetic. It is one’s choice to believe or reject it,” parts of the statement read.
