The Member of Parliament for Mpraeso, Davis Ansah Opoku, has defended the credibility of Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun, saying spiritual insight should not be judged by the outcome of political events alone.
In a social media post on Monday, February 2, MP Ansah Opoku noted that prophecy is often a dynamic dialogue between the divine and human response, rather than a fixed sentence.
“In public life, people often judge spiritual voices by a single event. Scripture teaches us that prophecy is not always a fixed sentence. It is often a divine dialogue with human response,” he said.
He recounted that the prophet had predicted his decision to contest the parliamentary seat for Mpraeso before he had even considered it himself, highlighting the prophetic insight as evidence of calling and purpose.
“When Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun first told me I would contest the parliamentary seat for Mpraeso Constituency, I had not even taken that decision myself. He spoke into a future I had not yet seen. That kind of insight goes beyond guesswork. It speaks to calling and purpose,” Ansah Opoku stated.
The Mpraeso MP also drew parallels with biblical examples to emphasise that a prophecy can shift depending on human action and divine will.
“Jonah declared judgment upon Nineveh. The destruction did not happen. Was he false? No. The people changed, and the outcome changed. Prophet Isaiah told King Hezekiah to prepare for death. He prayed. God extended his life by fifteen years. The word shifted because the heart shifted,” he explained.
He concluded by cautioning against reducing spiritual matters to political outcomes, stressing that electoral results do not negate the accuracy of spiritual insight.
“A different outcome in a primary election does not erase accurate insight into a person’s destiny. I am living proof of the things he spoke over my life that later unfolded. Let us be careful not to reduce spiritual matters to electoral mathematics. A ballot box measures votes. It does not measure spiritual purpose,” MP Ansah Opoku added.
