The Ministry of Repentance and Holiness, a denomination linked to fiery zealot, Prophet David Owuor, has issued a statement admitting the world will not end tomorrow 2 August 2025.
In the official statement issued barely a few hours before the clock ticks to Saturday August 2 the church now claims that the sentiments were fabrications being attributed to the prophet who did not make them.
The church has cleverly distanced both itself and the prophet from these allegations, stating clearly that the statements did not originate from Prophet Owuor. They describe the rumors as false accusations intended to tarnish the good name of their church and its leader.
They did not, however, say why they’ve been silent about taking an official position on the matter until they realized it was all baloney.
Church officials have urged Kenyans to disregard these claims, reminding the public that no one knows the day or the hour the world will end. Therefore, they caution against spreading misleading information.
Despite the eleventh-hour clarification, some netizens had already begun criticizing Prophet Owuor, with a few labeling him the “prophet of doom.”
Whether or not the church claims to set the record straight, yet again, the damage has been done.
Prophet David Owuor who commands cultic following has made some rather bizarre prophesies before with his funnily-dressed adherents swallowing every false prediction lock, stock and barrel.
At some point he claimed to be a reincarnation of biblical prophet Elijah. But unlike Elijah who led a spartan lifestyle Owuor leads an ostentatious lifestyle preferring long convoys of high-end fourwheelers and police security when he moves around.
Earlier in his career he faced a court case over fraudulently acquiring the property of a widow who had been brainwashed to follow him.
Lately, he has cultivated state camaraderie in stark contrast to Bible teaching of Jesus and his followers not being party to politics and government of their time.
Like many televangelists Owuor has acquired immense wealth as he counties to hoodwink his hapless adherents.
The latest prophecy has been in the public domain and trending on social media for many days only for the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness to realize on the eleventh-hour that no such a cataclysmic event would take place tomorrow.
Whatever the case religious smart aleck and magicians continue reaping big from a society demoralized by economic hardships wrought by perpetual illness, ignorance and poverty.
