Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh and the Divine Mission to Redeem Ghana

Written by Mensah Adinkrah, Ph.D.

RABBI, the Most High God

According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, the true name of the Most High God—the Supreme Being who created the heavens, the earth, and everything within them—is RABBI. This name, He affirms, is not merely a title but the sacred and original designation of the Most High God, whose power, wisdom, and presence govern all of creation.

The Divine Identity and Mission of Somafo Yawoh

Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh is the Founder and Spiritual Leader of Asomdwee Ntonton Som—The Religion of Peace and Exaltation—the Third and Final Religion of the Most High God, RABBI. He affirms that He is the Promised Messiah, the Elijah foretold to appear during the End Times. As part of this divine mission, He has constructed the Third Temple of God in Ekumfi Otuam, located in the geographic center of Ghana—which, according to Him, is also the physical center of the world.

Asomdwee Ntonton Som currently has nearly 30,000 members, the majority residing in Ghana, but with a rapidly growing international following.

Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh states that His primary mission is to bring comfort and peace (asomdwee ne ahotɔ) to the people of Ghana and to lead them to the true path of the Most High God so that, at the end of their earthly lives, they may find a place in heaven. He affirms that this divine Religion will ultimately reach the entire world.

What Is Peace and Comfort According to Somafo Yawoh?

Peace and comfort, as Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh teaches, include good health, strength (apɔwmudzen), and prosperity in one’s work or vocation. He stresses that suffering, calamities, miscarriages, predicaments, misfortunes, and premature deaths are not from God but are direct manifestations of the devil—Satan.

According to Him, present-day Ghana is a nation beset by hardship. Sicknesses, ailments, untimely deaths, and economic struggles plague the land. No one, He claims, is exempt from these afflictions. This is precisely why He has been commissioned by the Most High to wage a spiritual battle to eradicate these forces of darkness and bring divine relief to the people.

He warns that anyone enduring these hardships who fails to come to Him for deliverance will continue to suffer until death.

Parallels with Jesus Christ’s Earthly Mission

Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh draws a direct parallel between His divine mission and that of Jesus the Christ of Nazareth. Just as Jesus was sent to the Israelites—who, at the time, had lost the true understanding of God’s laws—Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh asserts that He has been sent to Ghana, a people similarly afflicted by spiritual confusion and moral decline.

He explains that Jesus came not for the reasons modern pastors teach, but solely to correct and clarify the divine laws originally delivered by Moses, which had been corrupted over time. Jesus’s healing of the sick was, according to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, evidence that the Israelites were suffering due to their distance from the true word of God.

Ghanaians Have Lost the True Path to God

According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, Ghanaians are suffering because they have strayed from the path of true worship. Many consult herbalists, fetish priests, Mallams, Christian pastors, and other spiritualists for healing and protection. He condemns this practice, stating that it is detestable in the sight of the Most High God, RABBI.

True worship, He asserts, requires absolute devotion to God alone, without the use of objects, devices, or substances. The Most High God RABBI does not require anointing oils, Florida water, or ritual charms. These practices, He maintains, are false paths that lead to spiritual bondage.

Ghana: A Chosen Nation of God

Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh proclaims that Ghana is one of the three divinely chosen nations—alongside Israel and Saudi Arabia. As a nation appointed by God, Ghana is expected to experience peace and divine favor. However, due to the people’s deviation from the righteous path, the nation has instead been plunged into hardship, disease, and premature deaths.

He cautions Ghanaians not to be misled into believing that their suffering is ordained by God. God, he affirms, is righteous and loving. It is Satan—who has nothing good to offer—who afflicts people with calamities.

The Arrival of the Light: The Spirit of Truth

According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, the arrival of the Light—a biblical metaphor for truth and divine knowledge—has now occurred. He declares himself to be the Spirit of Truth prophesied in John 16:13, which reads:

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.”

His mission includes correcting errors in the existing scriptures and authoring the Tum Nwoma (The Book of Power)—the final and ultimate scriptural text about the Most High God RABBI and His works.

According to Him, when individuals accept this truth, they will receive good health, success in their work, and deliverance from all forms of affliction—be it sickness, adversity, tragedy, or premature death.

Biblical Prophecies Fulfilled in Somafo Yawoh

Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh states that certain scriptural passages are directly referring to Him. He cites:

Isaiah 60:1–3:

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
Darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.”

Isaiah 42:1:

“Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.”

He affirms that these verses describe His divine calling and global mission.

Jesus Christ: A Messenger, Not a Deity

Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh emphasizes that Jesus Christ was a Messenger of God—not God Himself. He contends that it was European influence and false pastors who elevated Jesus to a divine status. This distortion, He says, has led many Christians astray.

He supports His position with John 17:1–3, in which Jesus prays:

“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”

According to Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, salvation lies in recognizing the oneness of God and accepting Jesus’s true status as God’s Messenger—not as God Himself.

Heaven Must Begin on Earth

Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh teaches that heaven means everlasting joy, and one must begin to experience this joy on earth as evidence of one’s path to salvation. He challenges the idea that people must suffer endlessly on earth only to be rewarded after death. True divine joy, He maintains, must manifest even before death.

He observes that although some Ghanaians may have wealth, many do not have health, and therefore, no one in Ghana is truly living in joy.

Healing Through Divine Power Alone

Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh teaches that sickness is caused by evil spirits. For one to find healing, the evil spirit must be cast out. This, He says, is the core of His mission. He asserts that only the true Messengers of God—those who are divinely appointed Messiahs—have the power to cast out such spirits.

He criticizes the use of anointing oils and other spiritual products, stating that they are powerless. True healing, He teaches, is by laying on of hands, the same method Jesus Christ used over 2,000 years ago.

This is exactly what Ɔkrɔnkrɔnyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh says He is doing today—placing His hands on the afflicted, casting out evil spirits, and bringing healing to those who come to Him in faith. Only the true Messengers of God can perform such divine feats.
