The Ghanaian preacher began trending after videos of his earlier political prophecy resurfaced on social media, triggering widespread public debate, scrutiny, and mixed reactions across various platforms.

He was born on 31st May in Takoradi. Prophet Nelson-Eshun was raised in the Methodist Church. He reportedly received a strong call into ministry during his university years.
With limited resources but a firm conviction, he later relocated to Accra to begin full-time ministry.
Through years of consistent leadership, teaching, and prophetic ministry, SpiritLife Revival Ministries grew steadily from modest beginnings into a well-known Christian movement. His teachings often centre on faith, wisdom, the prophetic, spiritual discernment, and the supernatural.
Major Programs and Philanthropy
Under his leadership, the ministry has organised several large-scale spiritual programmes, including the Prophetic School of Mentorship, Madness of Faith Convention, and Prophetic Shift Apostolic Transfer.
These initiatives are designed to deepen believers’ understanding of the prophetic and strengthen their spiritual walk with God.
Beyond the pulpit, Prophet ElBernard oversees the Bernard Nelson Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance and scholarships to university students, reflecting his commitment to education and social impact.
Family Life
Prophet ElBernard is married to Mrs. Mimi ElBernard Nelson-Eshun, a fashion influencer who was initially one of his spiritual daughters and an early supporter of the ministry.
Her commitment during the ministry’s formative and challenging years is widely acknowledged as instrumental to its growth. The couple is blessed with two children, Minel and Minard ElBernard.
Why He Is Trending
Prophet ElBernard is widely known for making public prophetic declarations, including those relating to national and political issues.
Ahead of the 2026 NPP presidential primaries, he publicly prophesied that Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would emerge victorious—a prediction that ultimately did not come to pass.
Following the election outcome, the prophet openly acknowledged the error, issued a public apology, and announced a temporary pause from public prophetic declarations and pulpit ministry.
He explained that the decision was to allow for reflection, prayer, and the strengthening of accountability in how prophetic messages are received and communicated.
