The Fiaga of the Aflao Traditional Area in the Volta Region, Togbuiga Amenya Fiti V testifying

The Paramount Chief of the Aflao Traditional Area in the Volta Region, Togbuiga Amenya Fiti V, has testified about how Bishop Charles Agyinasare prayed for the rains to stop in Aflao during one of his crusades in the area some years ago.

Worshipping at the Perez Dome, Dzorwulu, Accra, with a whole contingent of traditional leaders on Sunday, 26 January 20120, Togbuiga Amenya Fiti V said it was “a great honour for me and a great blessing to be here on the altar of blessings and hope”.

He told the congregation that Bishop Agyinasare “is my best friend, my brother and my godfather”, adding: “I have been planning to come here for many years but today, I’m here”.

The traditional leader then testified to the glory of God about how the founder of Perez Chapel International commanded the rains to stop when the deluge began during a crusade in Aflao.

Togbuiga Amenya Fiti V’s testimony was thus:

Bishop was in Aflao for a crusade – a very big crusade, indeed. He came to the palace that afternoon; actually, I was very sick and my elders informed him that according to tradition, he can’t see me. He left and he came again, demanding to see me. So, they allowed him to come in. I was in bed with drips and other things on me – he was then very young, not with a [grey beard] – and he told me: ‘Togbui, why are you in bed? You are so young to be in bed; no, you’re not sick, get up; I have a vision for you! This man told me: ‘Togbui, you have to rescue this community, I have a vision that you’ll be one of the greatest kings in Ghana’. And, today, my name is everywhere: [in] every corner of the world; not only in Ghana. I’m now the Vice-President of the Forum of Kings and Traditional Leaders of Africa. I said: ‘Why is this man telling me to remove my drips and come for a crusade, why?’ I refused to go the first day [and] the second day; the third day, I went. And the last day I went in for the final crusade, ladies and gentlemen, it is very easy to pray for the rain to fall, but to stop the rain, it is not easy. The whole community was praying for rainfall for more than eight months; there wasn’t any rainfall. And that day, that fateful night, the rain was coming and I said: ‘Hey, my friend, the rain will destroy your crusade’. Then this man stood up; he said: ‘Togbui, let me beg your people, I know they are looking for rainfall but I’m praying for God to close the gates of [heaven]. He prayed for the rain not to fall and immediately after the crusade, the rain will fall; and really, it did. It wasn’t rainfall – water [was] coming from heaven for more than four hours. So, if somebody can just command or appeal to the Almighty Father to stop the rain, [then] I’m just here to allow him to conjure some blessings on me. I’ve been looking for the opportunity to take my own rainfall, and since then, we have been communicating; he’ll call me early in the morning and pray for me, call me in the evening and pray for me. I’m a member of this congregation. So, I’m here again to thank the congregation for giving my brother that needed support for the church to grow from strength to strength. He’s not in charge, it’s the Almighty Father who is in charge. Thank you very much.

After Togbuiga’s testimony, Bishop Agyinasare anointed him with oil and prayed for long life for the President of the Aflao Traditional Council.

“Father, we commit your servant into your hands, You called him at such a time as this; like you used Solomon, use him; like you used David, use him; protect him, protect his family, give him strength, health, physical vital like never before in Jesus’ name; take authority over every spirit of premature death; until he has finished his work, let him not step out in Jesus’ name, we call it done. Amen.

Togbui Amenya Fiti V’s contingent with whom he worshipped at the Perez Dome included SP Hukportie, who was recently made the Fiator (Father of kings and queens and the entire family) of the Avoeme-Aflao Traditional Area’s Senior Right Wing Division; Togbui Anubo IV, Dufiaga of Chief of Avoeme and Senior Right Wing Chief of the Aflao Traditional Area; Togbui Sedo Avoryi, Ewe Chief of Akyim Abuakwa Osiem; Nana Asumkaheema Owusua Sedo, Akyim Abuakwa Osiem; Mama Dunenyo IV, Sohefiaga of Abutia; Nana Afia Dakwaah, Akomu Obaapanin of Dunkwaw Kyekyere; and Nana Aminsimakese III, Oheema of Asebu Amantsindo and Gyaasehema of Asebu Traditional Area.

Bishop Charles Agyinasare has cautioned Christians to be wary of people close to them because they can be the very people who turn to sell them out.

Preaching on the topic: “Dealing with Household Enemies,” on Sunday, 5 January 2020, the founder of Perez Chapel International said household enemies are usually people “close to you” and “know your secret”.

“Normally, when we talk of household enemies, we are also talking about people in the same family or office or group who relate with you. So, it’s not just your biological family but the group you belong to etc. Out of there, you can have your household enemies. Most of the time, they are those who are close to you, they want what you have but they don’t get it through the right way, they don’t want it the right way,” he stated.

Using a picture of General Kotoka smiling at Dr Kwame Nkrumah to buttress his point, Bishop Agyinasare said Kotoka led a coup to overthrow Nkrumah just a day after smiling with him at the airport when Dr Nkrumah was leaving Ghana for Hanoi.

“I can also tell you of different instances where you will see pictures of either a head of state inspecting a parade and the people helping him inspect the parade, the following month or two, did a coup against him.

“So, household enemies are normally people who know you, they know your secret, they know your strength, they know your weaknesses and they are ready to sell you out.”

Quoting Genesis Chapter 4:3 – 5, Bishop Agyinasare said Cain killed his brother, Abel, because he could not stand his sacrifice.

“There are people in the same church with you, they can’t stand your commitment to God, even your spouse may not be able to stand even your giving to God. At times, your children or your parents may not be able to stand your sacrifice to God. When that happens, what they have become is your household enemies…,” he added.

Citing a personal experience, Bishop Agyinasare recounted: “When I got saved, after two months, I was privileged to go and live in a mission house and we used to have these pastors come from the regions to the mission house for their conferences and, one day, many pastors had come and I was pounding fufu for them and my hand was blistered. Then one of the deaconesses in the church said: ‘Look at you Charles, because you want to become a pastor, see how you’re killing yourself’, and I felt grieved because her children were not doing anything in the church and here I was doing it and I wasn’t doing it because I wanted to be a pastor and she wanted me to stop. So, I stopped for a few minutes and the Holy Ghost reminded me of a few things, then I said: ‘I will still do it’ and there are people who will not appreciate your sacrifice, they will want to stop your sacrifice but may nothing be able to stop your sacrifice.”

Any man who slaps or insults the wife is a “cheap” and “weak” husband, Bishop Charles Agyinasare has condemned.

“Your wife offended you, you can’t forgive her; ‘I’ll show her where power lies’. And some weak men, your wife misses her words, you slap her; you’re a weak man.

“You say: ‘I’ll show her where strength lies’. Your strength is not in slapping your wife; if you slap your wife, you’re a weak man”, the Senior pastor at Perez Chapel International admonished the congregation during the second service on Sunday, 19 January 2020 at the Perez Dome, Dzorwulu.

He said a husband’s strength is not measured by how mercilessly he can pummel his wife to a pulp but in how he can still show love and affection even in the face of marital adversity.

“You’re strong when your wife has insulted you and you look at her and you can put your hands in your pocket and say: ‘Look, you can say whatever you like but I still love you’; that is when you are strong”, he taught the church, adding: “A strong man doesn’t beat the wife, so, stop being that cheap man; only cheap men beat their wives. Only cheap men”.

Apart from physical assault, Bishop Agyinasare also condemned husbands who hurl insults at their wives.

“Your wife insulted you, so, you, too, you’re insulting your wife: ‘You are smelling’. A man, you’re insulting your wife that she’s smelling. Shame on you! I said what: ‘Shame on you!’ You don’t tell your wife that; you honour your wife, you respect her”.

“She’s smelling and you want to [make love to her]”, he wondered.

The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has said that the church is to become a beautiful bride without spot or wrinkle to be presented to the Bridegroom, who is Christ.

He explained that the church, like any other establishment, has a goal, however, the purpose must not be mistaken for a goal. According to him, the purpose of a thing is the reason for which that thing was established. That is, the goal is the end result or the terminal point of that thing.

“The purpose of the church is to possess the nations, but our goal is to become a radiant church without blemish to be presented unto Christ our Lord,” he expounded.

The Chairman said this on Thursday, January 23, 2020, at 7th edition of the Ministers and Wives’ Conference ongoing at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa Fetteh near Kasoa.

Speaking on the topic; “A Glorious Church to Possess the Nations,” Apostle Nyamekye noted that “the church has become very programme-packed and activity-oriented and this, if not checked, could cause the church to lose focus on her goal.”

He added that programmes and activities organised by the church are there to aid the process of achieving the goal, but they are not the goal of the church. “Let us not lose focus, let us keep in mind our goal, our end, which is to become a Glorious Church to be presented unto Christ,” he advised.

In his presentation, the Chairman touched on two vital areas that will help the Church realise its goal; the moral purity of the Church and the doctrinal purity of the Church.

Speaking on moral purity, Apostle Nyamekye posited that the Glorious Church must have two attributes; Agathos (morally and ethically good) and Kalos (aesthetically and beautifully good).

Reading from 2 Chronicles 22:5-7, the Chairman explained that David instructed Solomon to build a church that would have great magnificence, fame and splendour, in the sight of all the people.

“Implying that the Church must be beautiful on the outside and must demonstrate the loving character of Christ so that the watching world will look on and testify that indeed Christ was sent from God to redeem the world unto Himself and the Father,” he opined. (John 13:34).

He further expounded that the Church must have moral and ethical beauty. Reading from Ephesians 4:11-13, Apostle Nyamekye noted that “we all form part of the Church, no one person is the whole, but a part, as such, we must endeavour to live holy lives so that the end of the Church will be blameless, spotless and without any wrinkle.”

“Every leader is called to form a part of the body of Christ, which is the Church, and to mature into the fullness of Christ Himself; therefore, a crooked person cannot be part of this ministry,” he reiterated.

Touching on doctrinal purity, the Chairman stressed that the Church is a treasured property of Christ and must be protected from all false teachings and diabolic doctrines that may sway the Church away from the love of Christ. He, therefore, admonished all church leaders to make conscious efforts to present the unadulterated word of God to the church.

He added that “with great zeal and godly jealously fight against every false teaching and evil doctrine that may be spreading among the members so that we will not lose the cherished treasure of Christ, which is His bride, the Church.”

“The goal of the Church is to become a beautiful, radiant bride without wrinkle, a Glorious Church, if we miss this goal, we ran the risk of running in vain,” he concluded.
