Gospel singer and preacher Sonnie Badu has sent a strong message to prophets in Ghana and beyond, urging them to stop making public prophecies about the death of prominent individuals. His message comes in the wake of recent rumours surrounding the health of Ghana's Vice President, Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, and false predictions made by some prophets.

In a heartfelt message posted on social media, Sonnie Badu did not hold back as he expressed his disappointment at the way certain individuals in the prophetic ministry have turned to what he called doom prophecies. He described the act of declaring someone’s death publicly as both dangerous and irresponsible. According to him, this kind of behaviour is not a demonstration of spiritual power but a sign of being a prophet of doom.

Sonnie Badu emphasized the need for prophets to apply wisdom when delivering any spiritual message. He believes that a true prophecy should be handled with care, love, and sensitivity. He said there is something called the "word of wisdom," which means that prophets should not just say what they see but speak with wisdom, maturity, and compassion. For him, prophesying death publicly causes unnecessary fear, and it does not reflect the spirit of God.


"Prophesying someone's death does not make you powerful. It only reveals you as a prophet of doom," he said. He went on to say that any true revelation from God comes with redemption. If a prophecy is shared without any redemptive message, then it is not from God. This, he said, is a key difference that people must understand when evaluating spiritual messages.

Sonnie Badu also raised concerns about how such death prophecies affect the families and friends of the people involved. He explained that these individuals have loved ones who get emotionally affected by such frightening messages. He pleaded with all prophets to grow in maturity and to think about the wider impact of their messages.

"The people you mention have family members. These kinds of prophecies bring fear and emotional pain. As you grow in your walk with God, you are expected to mature and handle messages with more discretion," he added.

Turning his message to Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, Sonnie Badu expressed his affection and support. He wished her a quick recovery and acknowledged her hard work during the recent election campaign. He encouraged her to take time to rest and regain her strength, saying she had sacrificed a lot for the country.

His comments came at a time when the Vice President's health became a trending topic, with some prophets allegedly predicting her death. Many people, especially on social media, expressed concern about how these false prophecies are spreading fear and confusion in the country. Sonnie Badu's remarks have therefore been welcomed by a large number of Ghanaians who are tired of the growing number of death prophecies.

Sonnie Badu is known for being vocal about moral and spiritual issues in Ghana and Africa. He has used his platform to encourage responsible leadership within the church and the community. His message on death prophecies has once again shown his desire to see spiritual leaders use their influence wisely.

Across Ghana, death prophecies have become more common, especially at the start of each new year when several prophets release so-called "revelations" about celebrities, politicians, and public figures. These predictions often go viral on social media, creating anxiety among the population.

Religious bodies and authorities have in recent years tried to regulate this practice, with some calling for laws to stop the spread of false prophecies. The Ghana Police Service has also issued warnings to prophets who make dangerous predictions without evidence.

Sonnie Badu's latest call is likely to add more weight to the public campaign against these types of prophecies. Many Ghanaians are now asking prophets to focus more on messages of hope, healing, and direction instead of fear and gloom.

As discussions around the issue continue to gain momentum, it is clear that more voices within the faith community are calling for change. Sonnie Badu's message is a reminder that true spirituality is about love, wisdom, and redemption—not fear and death.

His words have sparked conversations on social media, with many users praising him for standing up for what they believe is right. Others are urging churches and prophetic ministries to review their approach and focus more on the real purpose of prophecy, which is to build up and encourage the body of Christ.
