Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, the Founder and Leader of the Philadelphia Movement, has urged the Parliament of Ghana to initiate a national debate regarding the definition and application of the term “a witch,” emphasizing the need for urgent public discourse and clarification on the subject.
This appeal was made during the Friday Healing and Deliverance Service at the Philadelphia Movement Centre in Pokuase Katapor, Accra, where the Prophet continued his sermon series entitled “Who Is a Witch?” The series, which began during the White Sunday and Thanksgiving Service on June 7th, 2026, seeks to elucidate the true meaning of witchcraft and challenge entrenched societal perceptions.
Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah highlighted that many longstanding beliefs about witchcraft in Ghana have resulted in the stigmatization, suffering, and marginalization of innocent individuals, particularly elderly women who are often accused of witchcraft. He contended that the traditional inclination to label older women as witches lacks biblical justification and has perpetuated harmful societal practices.
The Prophet specifically mentioned the Gambaga Witches Camp, asserting that Ghana must critically address such issues to attain greater social progress and justice. He called upon authorities and stakeholders to endeavor to eliminate the practice of branding elderly women as witches and to foster a more enlightened understanding of the concept.
During his sermon, Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah offered his interpretation of who a witch truly is. He stated that witchcraft should not be associated with elderly women but rather with individuals who engage in practices contrary to the will and truth of God. He provided examples such as magicians, fetish priests, soothsayers, false prophets, sumsum sori, and those involved in occult activities as more accurately fitting the biblical description.
The Prophet further urged Parliament to consider this discussion a national issue, encouraging lawmakers to facilitate an open debate that would allow Ghanaians to explore the historical, cultural, and spiritual implications of the term “a witch.”
Addressing the congregation with fervor, Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah declared that one of his divine missions is to dismantle what he described as ancient satanic strongholds that have influenced society for generations. He asserted that misconceptions surrounding witchcraft have been used as tools of deception, obstructing many from experiencing God’s blessings and impeding the manifestation of God’s glory in Ghana.
He stressed that truth, understanding, and spiritual enlightenment are vital for national transformation and urged Ghanaians to engage in meaningful discussions about beliefs that have shaped the nation’s culture for centuries.
The sermon series “Who Is a Witch?” is anticipated to continue in the coming weeks as Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah further delves into the topic and its implications for the Church, society, and national development.
