During the 31st December 2024 Watchnight Service, Pastor Elvis Agyemang, the Convener of Alpha Hour and Founder of Grace Mountain Ministries, issued a startling prophecy about a potential new pandemic in 2025. The pastor warned of a deadly disease that could spread through mere skin contact, stating, “Once an affected person touches you, you will also contract the disease.”

In a widely shared video on social media, Pastor Agyemang revisited a previous vision he had about a lab-created disease, which he connected to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. “I am not a prophet, but I remember standing in the church one Sunday evening and saying that I saw a disease being created in the lab. Nobody took me seriously until COVID-19 hit the world,” he explained. He emphasized the urgency of the situation, saying, “Sorrow is coming. So present me to my people and tell them that the only safe haven is the one who came to carry the sorrow.”

The pastor warned that 2025 might feel “too long a year” if this disease were to manifest, urging believers to seek solace and protection in prayer and faith. His prophecy has elicited a range of responses; while some followers have taken to fervent prayer, skepticism persists among others.

Adding to the conversation, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, the Founder and Leader of Glorious Word Power Ministries, has made a similar prediction about an upcoming disease akin to the coronavirus, further fueling discussions on the need for spiritual preparation.
