Speaking on Asempa FM, the former National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party questioned why many public prophecies appear to target only prominent neighbourhoods in the capital, while rural towns and less visible communities are rarely mentioned.
According to Mr. Karbo, the pattern raises important questions about the credibility and direction of contemporary prophetic practices in Ghana.
“I have never heard a pastor prophesy about my hometown,” he said.
“Is God’s map limited to only rich areas in Accra, or do divine revelations find it difficult to locate places without gated houses, luxury cars and social media attention?”
His remarks have sparked fresh debate about the role of prophecy and spiritual authority in modern Ghanaian Christianity.
Mr. Karbo also questioned how individuals become recognised as prophets, and whether there are clear spiritual standards or doctrinal processes guiding such recognition.
Drawing on his academic background in Christian Religious Studies, he compared current prophetic trends with the structured training system of the Catholic Church.

He explained that in Catholic tradition, aspiring priests go through years of formal education, beginning with minor seminary and continuing through major seminary, where they study theology and scripture extensively before ordination.
“This process ensures a deep understanding of both the Old and New Testaments,” he noted.
He expressed concern that some preachers rely almost entirely on the Old Testament in their teachings, ignoring what he described as the fuller message of the New Testament.
“I am surprised when I see people preaching the gospel using only the Old Testament,” he said.

“The New Testament was an improvement. You cannot leave it out.”
Mr. Karbo revealed that he once considered becoming a Roman Catholic priest, having studied Christian Religious Studies and progressed far in discerning his vocation before eventually choosing a different path.
“I nearly became a priest, but I did not receive the calling,” he explained.
He concluded by warning against sensational prophecies that he believes are motivated more by publicity and attention than genuine spiritual guidance.

According to him, true men of God do not engage in dramatic predictions meant to attract followers.
Mr. Karbo urged the public to exercise discernment when listening to prophetic messages and to focus on faith grounded in sound doctrine rather than spectacle.
