The discrepancies surrounding Dr Owuor's claims: A review of the biblical understanding

Abstract

This study sought to find out the discrepancies surrounding Dr Owuor’s claims. Dr David 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 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. He believes God transferred authority to Christ in 2006, contradicting Matthew 28:28. This research also found out that Prophet Owuor refers to God as 'Sabaoth', 'The Lord of Hosts', and 'The God Almighty', implying that he is the one who strikes the earth with deadly plagues like coronavirus. He 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.
