Agyinasare Responds To Nogokpo After Snubbing 14-Day Ultimatum: “Don’t Play With A Child Of God”
Many think Archbishop Charles Agyinasare’s recent lecture, in which he discussed how God shields his children from demonic assaults, was subtly addressed to the people of Nogokpo.
When he referred to the town as the “demonic headquarters of the Volta Region,” the founder of the massive Perez Chapel International ran afoul of the Nogokpo traditional leadership and followers of a cult dedicated to a potent thunder deity.
His comments kickstarted a storm of criticism and condemnation on social media.
The Nogokpo Chief Torgbui Saba V and the elders of the town invited the respected preacher to come to the village for peace talks within 14 days, but he snubbed them.
After the 14-day ultimatum elapsed, he delivered a sermon saying that he was marvelled by the controversy stirred by his comments. In his view, there were more important things in Ghana worthy of debate than a comment he made about a town.
In a video shared by Vim Buzz TV, the Archbishop said because of a promise God made to Abraham, anyone who curses any man who professes the Christain faith curses himself.
“Once I become a Christian [and] you make a mistake if you curse me,” he stressed.
He then proceeded to explain what constitutes a curse: “A curse is an invocation of spiritual forces to do you harm. So, if God says anybody who curses you, he will curse. Then anybody who pours libations and mentions your name, invoking spiritual forces against you.”
Some people have said this was a direct response to cult members of the feared thunder god at Nogokpo who warned that “the energies will act” if Agyinasare fails to apologise to the people of Nogokpo for saying the town is a demonic headquarters.
