Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, General Overseer of Action Chapel International, has attributed the surge of controversial prophecies in Ghana to what he describes as inadequate biblical education among certain prophets. His remarks come amid growing public debate over predictions of deaths, disasters, and political events, many of which have spread widely on social media.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Point of View on Wednesday, February 25, Archbishop Duncan-Williams noted that much of the prophetic messaging dominating national discourse arises from theological misinterpretation rather than deliberate malice. “I think that a lot of these guys mean well. Some of them mean well, but again, like I said, it is a lack of biblical education because some of them are operating as Old Testament prophets, and they must be helped and educated to understand the dispensation. My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. You can mean well and still walk in error,” he said.
The Archbishop also recounted a recent viral post that falsely predicted his death, describing it as spiritually misguided and fear-driven. “Recently, it was on social media that somebody put me in a coffin and predicted that I am going to die. I dismissed it. That is demonic, negative, and the source is wrong because even if the prophecy is negative, it doesn’t bring fear because God has not given us the spirit of fear,” he added.
Archbishop Duncan-Williams stressed the need for mentorship and deeper scriptural grounding within prophetic ministry, arguing that education and correction, not sensationalism, should guide spiritual leadership in the public space.
