Nairobi, Kenya — Kenyan televangelist Prophet David Owuor has ignited fresh controversy after allegedly displaying what he described as direct WhatsApp conversations with God to members of his church. The church is the Repentance and Holiness Ministry.
During a recent sermon, the self-styled “mighty prophet” reportedly held up screenshots on a phone. He claimed they were divine messages delivered via the popular messaging app. According to Owuor, the messages contained instructions for people to repent. In addition, they contained a promise from God to “open the sky for rain.” He further asserted that he is the only human being who communicates with God through WhatsApp.
Congregants were seen clapping and cheering as the alleged messages were revealed. This reaction reinforced the prophet’s long-standing narrative of having exclusive and supernatural access to God.
Online Backlash and Accusations of Blasphemy
The dramatic claims quickly spread across social media platforms, triggering intense backlash. Critics questioned both the theological basis and authenticity of the alleged conversations. Many described the act as blasphemous, deceptive, or a con.
Some theologians and Christian commentators noted that traditional biblical prophecy does not align with modern digital tools such as messaging apps. They argued that the claims undermine core Christian doctrine.
