Ghanaian Bishop Isaac Owusu Bempah, Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, has labeled two of Nigeria's celebrated pastors as partners in winning souls for the devil.
In the words of the controversial Owusu Bempah, the founding President of Believers' LoveWorld Incorporated, also known as "Christ Embassy", Dr Christian Oyakhilome (popularly known as "Pastor Chris") and General Overseer of The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet Temitope Balogun (aka TB) Joshua, are not "true men of God", but leaders of occults, winning souls for the devil.
This claim, according to Owusu-Bempah, is based on God's revelation to him in a vision as well as his own analysis of the scripture, works and conduct of the two popular heads of two religious organisations in Africa.
Owusu-Bempah said he once heard Pastor Chris saying he saw nothing wrong with homosegxwality and Lesbi, and wondered which true man of God would lead his flock with such beliefs.
"No doubt he [Pastor Chris] is a friend and partner of TB Joshua",
Owusu-Bempa noted last week, claiming both men are dubious men of God who have a pact with the devil.
For Owusu Bempah, Nigerians have allegedly realized the dubious character of the Nigerian televangelist faith healer and founding president of Christ Embassy and his partnership with TB Joshua and have consequently chased him out of the country to South Africa, where he presently resides.
On TB Joshua, Owusu-Bempa claimed he once saw him with his feet on the floor preaching, an incident he said revealed to him that TB Joshua was not from God.
"When you see anyone claiming to worship God who worships with his feet on the ground, he's an occultist. And TB Joshua is an occultist.
"Ask yourself how TB Joshua, who claims God called him, worships with his feet on the ground? Let me tell you if you go to any church and you see the leader worshiping with his feet on the ground, it's a sign of demonism; it's occultic. People like that follow spirits that are not of God. It is occultic." According to him, God later revealed that TB Joshua was an occultist who did not draw his spiritual powers from God.
"Some time ago, I used to like TB Joshua. I was watching him on television, and the Lord opened my eyes. I saw him with horns on his head, and he had the face of a wolf. His tongue was that of a snake and he had blood smeared all over his mouth."
"Immediately, I rushed into my bedroom, and the Lord told me that he wasn't from Him, but was working under the authority of bad spirits," the pastor added. "That was when I realized TB Joshua was demonic and not of God."
The man who has himself been labeled a false prophet by some of his critics, advised Ghanaians not to be misled by signs of wonders and so-called men of God whose powers do not come from God.
He also accused TB Joshua in particular of sometimes faking miracles to win the confidence of his flock. "He can perform a clean miracle today and contaminate it with a lot of fake ones".
Joshua claimed his "own junior pastor went to his church to be healed. He was forced to sit in a wheel chair and made to claim before the cameras that he had received his healing even though he hadn't. He returned to the country and within two weeks, he passed away", Owusu-Bempah stated.
He again cautioned Ghanaians not to be in a hurry to attend the services of Prophet TB Joshua since he is the "anti-christ."
"If you are a pastor who worked under him and he gets to know you want to reveal his secrets, he kills you directly," Owusu-Bempah alleged. "If no one is willing to say this, I will say it: TB Joshua is the anti-christ and an agent of the devil... I know of a pastor who attended his church, and when he should tell you about what he saw, your mouth would drop," he stated.

This is a defeated man talking! because you're losing your customers to SCOA and felt the best way to retaliate is to run a man of God down, GOD IS WATCHING YOU!!!!! Am not a member of synagogue but i believe the devil is using you. Whatever happens to that phrase in the bible''DO NOT JUDGE SO YOU WOULDN'T BE JUDGED'' and you called yourself a man of God? i think your jealous.

Africans strong link to the African traditional type of worship is entwined with the western type of worship (Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists, Pentecostals etc). Embedded in our DNA is the way our ancestors or forefathers (whichever term you chose) saw worship. We readily threw our beliefs aside without a fight when the "white man" stated "you are worshipping the devil - stop it." Were we really doing that? At least from the part of Nigeria I hail from, we have one supreme God (just like Christianity) who we took as our all knowing and all seeing God. Then there were the lesser gods we had - again like in Christianity we hear of the messengers of God like the angels. The Chinese kept to their traditional way of life so much so that Chinese traditional religion/medicine is a big thing now - for example, acupuncture. This is now something used all over the world to treat different ailments - especially in Europe! The Tibetans have their monks. England have their Druids. Nigeira, no Africa as per norm threw everything God given away and for what?
We have thousands of Nigerians still following traditional religion which I personally have no problem with however it is done in secrecy (in the dark) whilst in the brightness of the day they attend a "Christian" church. In some European countries, people openly attend psychic shows on TV etc. Nigerians find that hard to do but will attend a "church" when they learn a "pastor can see tomorrow." And so they attend this "church" in the hope they will be "seen" and be given a "message."
Nigerians should watch this programme. It brings tears to your eyes - Branded A Witch. It was shown on BBC3 on the 21st May 2013.
In this one-off documentary, Congo-born Londoner Kevani Kanda travels to Africa to shed light on the Congolese belief in witchcraft, or "kindoki". She sees "possessed" children beaten by smiling pastors, and meets others accused of harbouring evil spirits. One is her own cousin. Kevani implores her relatives to consider the veracity of kindoki, or at least the necessity of abuse as a solution, but they can't, or are perhaps unwilling to. A disturbing portrait of a culture that believes routine child torture to be morally justifiable.
In some of the poorest parts of Nigeria, where evangelical religious fervour is combined with a belief in sorcery and black magic, many thousands of children are being blamed for catastrophes, death and famine: and branded witches. Denounced as Satan made flesh by powerful pastors and prophetesses, these children are abandoned, tortured, starved and murdered: all in the name of Jesus Christ.
