Leader of the Lord's Parliament Chapel International, Apostle Francis Amoako Atta, has issued a stern warning to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) regarding what he perceives as an attack on his fellow pastor, the founder of Glorious Word Power Ministries International.

“Now I want to warn the NPP, I want to warn you people that Owusu-Bempah has become your target. It won't be a blessing for you. The man is a prophet no matter what. Someone who used his church to gamble for you in 2016, for you to give him the red carpet, why are you now insulting him? Why do you want to drag Owusu-Bempah into the gutters, why?” he questioned angrily.

He pointed out that both the NPP and their 2024 presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, are mistreating Owusu-Bempah, a move he considers unjust.

Speaking to his congregation on Sunday, September 15, 2024, Amoako Atta remarked that if the party now has another pastor for guidance, they should allow Mr Owusu-Bempah to be left in peace.

“In 2020, he stood up for you, so when things like this happen, it seems ungratefulness has set in. No matter what, Owusu-Bempah is a prophet, so give him every respect he deserves. Those who are going on the radio to insult him should stop because it won't help.

“I know Bawumia is not like that because Bawumia went to his church. This man has fought earnestly. In 2016, no prophet could come out, but this man stood up and said things that God didn’t even say just to help you people,” he lamented.

Mr Amoako Atta emphasized that targeting Owusu-Bempah, a man of God, would come with consequences for the party. He highlighted the prophet’s support for the NPP since 2016 and lamented how the party appears to be abandoning him now.

“So, stop that and leave him alone. If you have a different pastor, go on because in every dispensation, God raises a man. Owusu-Bempah cannot singlehandedly continue just like that. Give him respect. It is disheartening and I am pained so much it has been on my mind for a long time so let me say it for you to go and tell your leaders.

He also addressed Dr. Bawumia directly, urging him to stop the apparent disrespect towards Owusu-Bempah, saying, “You respect men of God so much, Dr. Bawumia, stop this.”

These remarks follow rumors that Owusu-Bempah had taken money from former President John Mahama and was allegedly working with other pastors to derail Bawumia's presidential bid after he submitted his nomination forms to Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng for prayers.

Mr Owusu-Bempah has since denied these allegations as false.
