Brother Peter Anamoh, the self-styled prophet of doom

Prophet Anamoh accused of peddling another untruth
The woes of the doomsday prophet, Brother Peter
Anamoh are far from over as a pastor from Logos
Rhema Community Chapel, where he claimed to have
once served as a minister, have revealed that he
dropped out of the church's Bible school after two
weeks and was never a minister in the church.

Anamoh claimed in his book “Unveiling twelve
years of prophetic works” that he served under
Pastor Abu Baako of Logos Rhema Community Chapel
for three years, but a pastor of the church told
Adom News that claim is untrue.

Pastor Edward Nyarko from Logo Rhema told Adom
News that Anamoh was nothing more than a student
of church’s Bible school, Logos Rhema School of
the Word, where he dropped out from a six-week
course after only two weeks and started his own
Bible school using the manual he was given to
study at the school.

“While in the Bible School, Anamoh was
occasionally sent on a prayer mission together
with other students to go pray for other nations,
just like all other students who were not
ministers of the church were sometimes sent on
such prayer missions.

“Anamoh used to visit our church services but he
was never a minister of the church as he
claimed,” Pastor Nyarko, who also works with GTV
said.

Another source from the church revealed that
Anamoh used to write down every prophetic
utterance Pastor Abu Baako made and went into
meetings outside the church and repeated them and
claimed they were his own.

It was however not clear which prophecies he
usurped from Pastor Baako, and which ones were
actually his, but Brother Anamoh credits himself
with prophecies about Obama’s Presidency, Ellen
Johnson Sirleaf’s Presidency of Liberia, the
Ivorian crisis, and others which he has catalogued
in his book.

The most recent doomsday prophecy that 11pm on
Friday, November 11, 2011 would be the beginning
of the end of the world from the seas of Ghana,
never came to pass.

Prophet Anamoh initially claimed he was certain
about the date and time of the doomsday and that
even on the night before, on Thursday, November
10, 2011, there was going to be a sign of the
doomsday event, but none of that happened.

Meanwhile, earlier in the day on 11/11/11, he
started shifting the goal poles by claiming if it
did not happen Ghanaians should question God and
not him, and later on he said if it did not happen
he would be glad because he had earlier on
negotiated with God to stop it but God refused.

His brother, Pastor Victor Anamoh, who sounded
less confident on radio, also said even if it did
not happen on 11/11/11, it could happen during the
week, another clear sign of uncertainty, which
exposed their wrong interpretation of the
scripture.

But what took the country by storm was that Anamoh
succeeded in deceiving his congregation at
Machaira Community Church and a number of
superstitious-minded Ghanaians to follow him from
all parts of the country to his hometown Zuarungu
in the Upper East Region, where he claimed there
would be safety for the righteous.

He had claimed that he went to Zuarungu for a
crusade, to tell his countrymen and women about
the doomsday, but his church members revealed that
he told them the disaster would start from the sea
and the sea water will flood the coastal cities at
50 meters high, and travel 400 miles inland and
stop at Kintampo in the Brong Ahafo region (which
he claimed is the centre of the world) but would
not reach the north where they were.

Anamoh, who describes himself on his website as
“THE MOST ANOINTED PROPHET IN GHANA” is on
record to have quoted the book of Numbers to say
on Metro TV Good Evening Ghana that the only proof
of a true prophet is that his words come to pass,
and that the day a prophet’s words fails he
loses his credibility.

But since the woeful failure of his doomsday
prophecy, Anamoh has been insisting he is still a
credible prophet and that God is the one to answer
for the failure of the false prophecy he threw at
Ghanaians.

He still claims he heard from God and that God
might have changed his mind, but he is not telling
the public what made God change his mind.

When Adom News called him on Monday, November 14,
2011, three clear days after the failure of his
doomsday prophecy, he said he was now going to ask
God why the prophecy failed and bring answers to
Ghanaians on Friday, November 18, 2011.

Meanwhile, his brother said the disaster could
happen later in the week, while another church
member called Michael Ackom said the disaster
happened in the spirit but yet to manifest in the
physical.

But this is not the first time Anamoh has been
accused of foul play with regards to his doomsday
prophecy; an Accra-based newspaper reported he was
extorting up to GHC500 from people as heaven’s
gate fee to avoid the doomsday destruction, but he
denied the allegation, and has even posted the
story on his website.

His website also revealed that a number of
disasters that occurred this year, made him
believe his doomsday prophecy was right.

Anamoh has excepts of videos of the most recent
Accra floods, an Earthquake in Eastern Turkey, and
another in India; floods in Southern Pakistan, and
a narration of a dream by a taxi driver and
self-styled Evangelist called Justice from
Covenant Bible Church in Ghana, as proof of
authenticity of his obviously false doomsday
prophecy.

He has also written in his book “Lessons from
John the Baptist” that it is not true that no
one knows the day when the world will end because
the Holy Bible said it will happen at midnight,
and again the Bible said God will do nothing
without revealing it to his servants the
prophets.

The questions the public have been asking is
whether Anamoh, the self-styled most anointed
prophet in Ghana, is truly one of those prophets;
and by what criteria he does measure ‘most
anointed’ and ‘least anointed’; and who were
his competitors in the race for ‘the most
anointed prophet’.

Again, whether he really heard from God; and
whether the things God plans to reveal to his
prophets actually include the exact date and time
the world will come to an end like Anamoh sought
to make the whole world believe - contrary to what
Jesus himself said in Matthew 24:36?

Meanwhile, while Ghanaians are still grappling
with his failed doomsday prophecy, Anamoh has
given another prophecy that President John Evans
Ata Mills will not complete his term in office,
but he did not explain further.
