Prophet Fire Oja: Gov’t Must Pay Transport Before We Bring Prophecies

The leader of the Holiness of Christ Zion Ministry, Prophet Fire Oja, has challenged the government’s new directive requiring religious leaders to submit their prophecies for official review, insisting that the state should cover transportation costs for prophets before enforcing such a policy.

In a recent interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, Prophet Fire Oja argued that many spiritual leaders cannot afford the cost of travelling to the Jubilee House to present their revelations in person.

“If the government says we should come to the Jubilee House with our prophecies, they should also give us car money and fuel. Not all of us can afford to travel there. If they want to hear it in person, they should take care of our transport,” he stated.

His comments come in response to a recent directive from the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations. The policy requires religious leaders across Ghana to submit any prophecy or spiritual message of national importance for urgent evaluation.

Presidential Envoy Elvis Afriyie Ankrah explained that the measure aims to promote responsibility, discernment, and proper stewardship over the nation’s future, especially in uncertain times. According to him, the review will focus on prophecies involving top political leaders, governance issues, national security, and public stability.

“We are not trying to stop the work of God, but we believe prophecies must be handled with care so they do not cause unnecessary fear, panic, or instability,” Mr. Ankrah stated in an August 10, 2025, release.

The envoy also urged faith communities to intensify prayers for Ghana’s leadership and the families affected by the recent military helicopter crash, which claimed the lives of government officials, military officers, and NDC executives.

“In moments like this, unity and prayer are more important than ever. We ask all faith leaders to stand with us for the peace and stability of Ghana,” he appealed.
