Ghanaian Archbishop Duncan Williams has stirred believers in his church by giving testimony that he went to heaven and spent 1 hour and 45 minutes with God.

In the video, Duncan Williams can be seen and heard narrating the time he was in heaven for one hour and 45 minutes.

According to him, his spirit was taken out of his body for that experience once in his life. 

It was recorded during his Sunday service when he made the revelation.

The founder and presiding bishop of Action Chapel International said;

"When I went to heaven... I went to heaven for 1 hour and 45 minutes, taken out of my body to heaven for 1 hour and 45 minutes, and I saw very interesting things... Angels brought me a tall mountain, and the grass was like diamonds..."

This statement from the respected religious figure has sparked intense debate on social media in West Africa, with users showing varied reactions.

This is not the first time a servant of God has been heard preaching about things that many, especially in street contexts, consider as 'fantasy tales.'

Two months ago, a pastor from Uganda who claimed to have been swallowed and vomited by a lion after about 45 minutes.

Prophet William Ssozi appears to explain that he was swallowed by a lion during his early days of ministry in a part of South Africa, and he continues to say that it was in the lion's stomach where he learned to prophesy.

"In South Africa, I witnessed something that completely changed my life. I was swallowed by a lion. We had gone for a walk in the park, and our car ran out of fuel in the middle of the park. I don't know how it happened, but we began to hear lion roars, and we were very scared. They told me, being the pastor, to pray for them."

"The lion came, and among all my friends, the lion chose only me and swallowed me. And in the stomach of the lion, that's where God came to me and spoke to me, telling me how I would start prophesying more deeply," he added.

"I had my own school of prophecy in the lion's stomach."
