Kenyans are scratching their heads after Prophet Owuor’s WhatsApp God claims surfaced during a television appearance yesterday. The leader of the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness told TV47 viewers that he gets direct messages from the Almighty through the popular app, leaving many wondering what to make of it all.
It happened on February 8, during a late-night slot at the station. Owuor spoke calmly about his close connection to heaven, saying God applauds with the sun and that he holds the keys to paradise.
He even mentioned invitations to speak in parliaments abroad, but none here at home in Kenya. The WhatsApp part stood out most – describing divine conversations like everyday texts between friends.
This came amid fresh scrutiny from the same channel. TV47 has been running an investigation called “Divine or Deceptive?” looking into healing testimonies from Owuor’s events. Reporters checked hospital papers for followers who said they beat HIV through prayer.
One man, Peter Oyan, shared how he supposedly got cured years ago. But when the team visited the facility he named, records showed nothing – no file, no matching details. Other stories raised similar red flags, not lining up with official health rules.
The station says efforts were made to stop the report before it aired. Lawyers showed up pushing to block it, and later, KSh 20,000 landed in crew members’ accounts as a so-called love offering. TV47 sent every shilling back, sticking to their no-gifts policy during stories like this.
Owuor pushed back on air, standing by his work. He talked about proper tests, some done overseas, and dismissed doubts as attacks on faith. His followers agree, flooding comment sections saying critics are just fighting the truth. Many see the whole probe as persecution, meant to undermine a man they believe speaks for God.
Not everyone buys it, though. Online, the jokes flew fast – memes about adding God to group chats or waiting for blue ticks from heaven. Some called it outright deception, questioning why a prophet needs a phone app for divine talks.
Others went harder, labelling him a conman preying on desperate people. “How do these followers still believe?” one viral post asked, racking up thousands of shares.
The timing adds to the noise. Owuor’s massive gatherings always draw crowds hoping for miracles – the blind walking, the sick recovering. Yet questions linger over documents, money flows, and bold statements like sun claps or heavenly keys.
As clips spread today, conversations keep going in homes and matatus. Is it genuine spiritual power or something else? Prophet Owuor WhatsApp God talk has given Kenyans plenty to chew on, mixing laughter, anger, and serious concern. His supporters stand firm, while sceptics demand proof.
