Founder and Lead Pastor of Prayer Palace International, Prophet Emmanuel Adjei has shared his view on the controversy between the founder of Perez Chapel, Charles Agyinasare and traditional leaders of Nogopko in the Volta Region.
Prophet Adjei says that he would have been disappointed and even quit serving God if the clergyman had accepted the invitation to visit Nogokpo.
“...If Archbishop had gone to Nogokpo, I would have stopped worshiping God. I would have stopped. I would have because I will feel so ashamed. I will feel so disappointed because we see him as a father. We see him as a mentor. We see him as a leader. We see him as a pacesetter.
“Now, you leave our territory and go there, no. Then I will feel disappointed,” the prophet said during an interview with Black Rasta on #UrbanBlend.
His assertion follows an impasse between Agyinasare and the Nogokpo traditional authorities after the clergyman described the Volta Regional town as a demonic headquarters.
The traditional leaders took offense at the comments and gave him 14 days to appear before them.
But the clergyman clarified that he had no intention to cast a slur on certain groups of people or their communities and regarded any subsequent misrepresentation or misinformation as unfortunate.
However, the chief and people of Nogokpo remained firm in calling him out. They emphasised that the Archbishop must take appropriate steps to restore peace after tarnishing the town’s image.
Commenting on the matter, Prophet Adjei said the reaction from the Nogokpo leaders was excessive.
“I think the people went to the extreme. They went too much. The man came and then made a statement; he's a statesman. He has been in ministry for years, he has a track record. He's not the kind of man that creates controversies. He has a good track record, and then he slips.
“….Now he comes back to the same location and retracts. I think it should die there. Now you overstretch the issue. Do you have [a] personal interest? Why do you want to overstretch it,” the prophet stressed.
He further noted that he has respect for every religion but he believes that no harm can come to an individual whose God's hand is upon.
“…If God has not predicted our death, it will not happen,” Prophet Adjei said.
Nevertheless, Prophet Adjei clarified that “I have not disrespected them. I have not abused them. I said they were extreme. They went to the extreme.”
