Founder and Bishop of Perez Chapel International, Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, has revealed his journey to accepting Jesus Christ as his savior.
In an interview on Onua Maakye on January 17, the Archbishop shared that before his repentance, he engaged in deviant behaviors such as weed-smoking and womanizing.
Recalling his time as a teacher in Tamale, he mentioned being enamored with a lady who insisted he accompany her to church before considering his proposal. Despite being high on marijuana that night, he followed her to a Pentecost church.
“I was in Tamale as a pupil teacher, and my antics were many. When I made my intentions known to her, she told me she had a boyfriend named Jesus. She said if I allowed her to introduce me to her boyfriend, she would accept my proposal,” he recounted to the host, Captain Smart.
At that time, Archbishop Agyinasare was practicing Buddhism, considering the invitation as a joke. Nevertheless, he agreed to meet “that boy [Jesus].” The pivotal moment occurred during the church service that night, leading to a transformative experience.
“I only remember the preacher made an altar call, and I stepped forward. Since then, the power of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and lust broke from my life,” he narrated.
Archbishop Agyinasare shared that two weeks later, God spoke to him through a dream, instructing him to start his ministry. Despite skepticism from his father about the sudden change, the Archbishop attributes the transformation to the grace of God working miraculously in his life.
“I was in Tamale as a pupil teacher and my antics were many, so as a teacher, a parent requested for extra hours. So, when I got to the house, I met two ladies and I liked both ladies, but I wanted to be with one of them.
“When I made my intentions known to her, she told me she had a boyfriend and I asked who the boyfriend was and she said his name was Jesus and if you allow me introduce you to my boyfriend, then I will accept to be yours,” he recounted to the host, Captain Smart.
