dc.description.abstractThis study sought to find out the discrepancies surrounding Dr David Owuor’s claims. Dr Owuor is a self-proclaimed prophet who has replaced his human history with a heavenly autobiography through an alleged supernatural origin. In 2003, Dr Owuor reported a vision from the Lord with Prophets Moses, Elijah, and Daniel and a conversation with John the Baptist, who revealed to him the events leading up to the second coming of Christ. He also claims that God gave him golden wedding rings and a handwritten note from heaven, explaining the character of those preparing to enter the Kingdom. Dr Owuor believes that God transferred authority to Christ in 2006, contradicting Matthew 28:28. This research also found out that Prophet Owuor appropriated upon himself God’s Omnipotence, Omniscience and Omnipresence attributes when he declared that he is the one who strikes the earth with deadly plagues like coronavirus, know the deep thoughts of humanity and pushed two neutron stars shaking the entire universe. He further claims to have the power to destroy the earth and send listeners to the grave. However, the Bible states that anything in the universe other than God belongs to Him. The study concludes that believers today do not require new revelations or visions to understand God's will, as the Written Word is sufficient for spiritual maturity. Therefore, Dr Owuor’s claims are blasphemous.en_US
