The Bible teaches:

10 … Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Revelation 19:10)

People who discount prophecy are not understanding the Bible. Prophecy is also a key in understanding why Jesus is the Messiah (see also the free online book: Proof Jesus is the Messiah).

In Ghana, the police have been trying to ban ministers from discussing prophecies and predictions:

Police in Ghana have warned faith leaders against making traditional New Year prophecies which can cause fear, anxiety or death.
The right of freedom of worship must not violate the rights of others, the police said in a statement.
Millions of Christians often gather in churches to hear their pastors make proclamations about the new year. …
Ghanaian lawyer Sammy Darko said the police order was “illegal.”
“It is not even up for debate or interpretation by the highest court of Ghana. No law in Ghana grants the police administration any powers to regulate prophecies in the country,” he wrote.
“Religious freedom is more than the ‘freedom to worship’ at a synagogue, church, or mosque. It means people shouldn’t have to go against their core values and beliefs in order to conform to culture or government unless it violates a specific law,” he added.
Mr Darko told the BBC that the police lost a case earlier this year against a pastor who had been charged for allegedly making an alarmist prophesy about a celebrity musician being shot.
“This was significant,” he said. 12/27/22 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-64102094

In Ghana, the police said they had adopted 27 December as Prophecy Communication Compliance Day. They only want “smooth things” preached.

Sadly, many do not want to hear the prophetic messages of scripture, but that was expected:

8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, And note it on a scroll, That it may be for time to come, Forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, Lying children, Children who will not hear the law of the Lord; 10 Who say to the seers, “Do not see,”
And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits. 11 Get out of the way, Turn aside from the path,Cause the Holy One of IsraelTo cease from before us.” (Isaiah 30:8-11)
6 “Don’t say such things,” the people respond. “Don’t prophesy like that. Such disasters will never come our way!” (Micah 2:6, New Living Translation)

Notice that these are end time prophecies.

We in the CCOG, despite having a significance presence in Ghana, believe that we are still to teach about prophecies and predictions.
