In his latest broadcast on AP Radio 105.7 as part of the “Ability to See” series, Dr. Kuuku Dadzie Ephraim delivered a powerful message urging churchgoers to be cautious in choosing their spiritual leaders.
He warned against following preachers who may be popular on earth but are not truly known by God. Dr. Ephraim emphasized the importance of ensuring that both one’s physical and spiritual efforts are aligned with the true servants of God—those who are recognized and anointed by God in His true church.
Dr. Ephraim cautioned listeners that following a famous preacher, who is revered by the wealthy, politicians, and worldly figures, but not known by God, would ultimately lead to spiritual emptiness. “If you are struggling with demonic oppression and turn to a preacher who is also in alliance with demons, you cannot expect deliverance,” Dr. Ephraim said.
He illustrated his point with the analogy of seeking help from a dwarf priest when dwarfs are the source of your torment, highlighting the futility of seeking assistance from someone who serves the very forces causing your suffering.
Dr. Ephraim explained that only a true servant of God, one anointed by Heaven, holds the power to cast out demons and bring genuine healing. Referencing Matthew 12:29, he explained that just as one cannot plunder a strongman’s house without first binding the strongman, only a true servant of God, with divine authority over demonic forces, can deliver true freedom.
He also emphasized that earthly fame does not guarantee heavenly recognition. Many preachers may enjoy fame among people, but if they are not recognized by God, their influence is ultimately hollow. “Earthly fame can be deceiving,” Dr. Ephraim remarked, recalling a story of a man who invited famous preachers to his parties and gave them money, thinking this would secure his spiritual safety. “These preachers were known by humans but not by angels in Heaven,” he added, urging listeners to carefully examine the true source of a preacher’s fame.
Dr. Ephraim challenged his audience to reflect on the true nature of the fame surrounding certain preachers and to ask themselves: Are these preachers known by humans, or are they known by God in Heaven? He emphasized that only those truly anointed by God can lead others to salvation and deliverance.
