The Christian Council of Ghana is advising prophets and religious leaders to be careful about their messages. They are warning against using pulpits, media, and social media to spread prophecies that could create fear.
The Council stated that false or misleading prophecies that cause public panic will not be tolerated. They mentioned that prophets could face legal consequences for such actions.
This warning comes as a way to ensure responsible use of religious platforms. The Council aims to protect the public from unnecessary fear and unrest.
The exact legal actions that may be taken were not detailed. However, the message is clear that fear-mongering through prophecies is a serious concern.
The Council emphasized that religious leaders have a responsibility to guide their congregations positively. Spreading fear goes against this duty.
