A member of the Perez Chapel International, Samuel Nartey George, is absolutely convinced that no harm will come against Archbishop Agyinasare or any Christian under the pavilion of God over the recent brouhaha involving Nogokpo traditional authorities.
He made the comments in reaction to a seeming caution by spokesperson of Nogopko, Nufialagah Mawufemor Kobla Nornyigbey, following the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued by the Nogokpo authorities to the founder and leader of Perez Chapel International, Archbishop Agyinasare over a derogatory comment during the church’s Supernatural Empowerment Summit.
Speaking in an interview on GEROM TV with Maame Grace on Friday, June 16, 2023, Mr Nornyigbey said that the chiefs of Nogokpo would take action because the people of the Volta Region have been disrespected enough.
“All the options are on the table for us. I mean all the options,” Nornyigbey said when asked whether the chiefs of Nogokpo are going to invoke their deity.
“It is about time others must learn to respect we Ewes. I don’t want to be tribalistic but Agyinasare cannot go to the Ashanti land or any Akan community and make that statement,” he said.
In response during an interview with JoyNews on Thursday, the Ningo-Prampram legislator noted that as he remains a firm believer in the efficacy and power in the blood of Jesus Christ “no power, no weapon fashioned against us will prosper”.
“He, who manifests in three beings – as Father, Son and Holy Spirit is ultimate and all powers, tongues will bow before him. And so long as we call on his name, his name is a strong tower the righteous will run into and they will be safe,” he added.
He also asserted that the words of Archbishop Agyinasare’s have been misconstrued as they have been taken out of context.
“I urge people to know every communication is in a context. If you take it our of context, you can spin it in a thousand ways. People have seen a video of about 3 minutes and drawn their conclusion. That whole sequence in the sermon was about 15 minutes,” he said.
In his view, persons who run riot just on limited information appear to be “shallow”.
Background
On June 2, the Nogokpo traditional authorities issued a 14-day ultimatum to Archbishop Agyinare after he referred to Nogokpo as the “headquarters of demons” in the Volta Region.
This came after Archbishop Agyinasare clarified that he did not intend to disrespect any specific groups or communities, expressing regret over any misrepresentation or misinformation that followed.
As of June 16, when the deadline elapsed, the archbishop had not presented himself to the Nogokpo traditional authority.
Since then, Archbishop Agyinasare has not directly comment over the matter. However, his recent sermon has been interpreted as a response.
Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, last Sunday entreated Christians to know who they are and let go of worries about being hurt by any oppressor.
According to him, anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and savior has a protective covering, thus is not affected by any attack.
“The blessing of Abraham, ‘I will make your name great so that you can be a blessing’. And take the verse three, it says, ‘and I will bless anybody who blesses you and curse anyone that curses you’.
“Once I become a Christian, you make a mistake if you curse me. What is 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,” he said.
