Founder and leader of Heaven’s Gate Ministries, Prophet Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Kumchacha, has sparked debate after claiming that gospel musician Diana Asamoah lacks the level of biblical knowledge he possesses.

The outspoken preacher made the comments during an interview5, where he acknowledged Diana Asamoah’s contribution to gospel music and evangelism but insisted she would not defeat him in a Bible quotation contest.

Describing the gospel musician as his “sister,” Kumchacha said her strength lies in preaching rather than recalling scriptures.

“She is my sister, but she’s small. Diana Asamoah will admit that she’s small when it comes to Bible quotations. One day, both of us should be invited on air to quote the Bible, and you will understand what I’m talking about,” he said.

He added, “She is good for evangelism and preaching, but she can’t compete with me in quoting the Bible. In the whole of Ghana, I’m the first and only prophet who knows the Bible.”

Kumchacha, who has been in ministry for over 35 years, attributed his confidence to his long experience preaching the word of God. He also claimed that some prominent pastors listened to his teachings before becoming recognised figures in Christianity.

“I’ve been doing this for 35 years. Some of the pastors who call themselves prophets used to listen to my preaching many years ago. I had a preaching cassette, and they used to listen to it until they became born again,” he stated.

The prophet further claimed that he played a mentoring role in the lives of several respected men of God, though he did not mention their names.

“If I should mention the men of God whom I used to mentor years ago, you will be amazed,” he added.

Kumchacha also revealed that he did not attend a formal pastoral or Bible school before entering ministry, insisting that his calling was based on divine direction.

“I never attended pastoral school. God’s calling is not determined by attending Bible school. God’s work was a prophecy to me. I loved the work, but I didn’t become a prophet because I loved it. When I was young, a lot of pastors prophesied to me that I would do the Lord’s work,” he said.

His remarks have since generated discussions among social media users, with some debating his claims while others questioned whether biblical knowledge should be measured by the ability to quote scriptures alone.
