Pastor Moses said he would raise Miracle Kettor from the dead before July 26. When it didn’t happen, he deleted the videos — then told critics the backlash only gave him more promotion.
In a statement released this week, the pastor admitted his “recent mistake in prophecy” and said his “passion went beyond wisdom.”
“I take full responsibility for this and ask for your forgiveness,” he wrote. “My heart remains committed to serving God and to serving you with greater wisdom, accountability, and discernment in moving forward.”
The controversy began after Pastor Moses Godsendme posted a video declaring that the late Liberian gospel artist Miracle Kettor would “rise before the end of the 26th,” and later went live claiming he was on his way to “wake up the late artist.” The posts spread fast across social media. Some followers responded in faith. Others raised questions.
With the family now confirming that Kettor will be buried ASAP, the pastor deleted all the videos and posts related to the prophecy.
In his apology, he also addressed the criticism directly. “Every criticism, every insult, and every attempt to discourage me only draws more attention to me,” he said, noting that the attention reached government officials and even church members in his DMs. “What was intended as negativity often becomes promotion for the Gospel, reaching people who might never have heard it otherwise.”
The incident has stirred fresh debate in Liberia’s gospel community about prophecy, accountability, and the impact of public declarations on grieving families.
Pastor Moses closed by thanking followers for their prayers and pledged to serve with “maturity and reverence.”
“We will remain focused on our calling, sharing the truth with love, grace, and unwavering faith,” he said. “Our mission does not depend on the approval of others but on faithfully proclaiming the Gospel.”
