The Presiding Bishop of Perez Chapel International Bishop Charles Agyinasare has said Ghana is facing “economic storm” as he delivers his sermon on Sunday.
He recounted the experiences of many of his associates and church members to illustrate his assertion.
“Bishop, all my savings and investments are gone’. Another said: ‘In your book, ‘Money in Your Pocket’, you encouraged us to save for our future and, so, I’ve been investing but here I am; it’s gone’.
As if that was not enough, “A young man who had asked his employers to be investing 20 per cent of his salary in provident funds said: ‘Bishop, I should have been eating well with my wife than to be squeezing to live and losing all my investment,’” he shared yet another experience.
Bishop Agyinasare who appeared overwhelmed by the experiences of his church members said he could only say “Wow, money is failing just as it did in biblical Egypt.”
Some 10 banks got shut down during the banking sector clean-up and just last week the Bank of Ghana revoked the licences of 53 fund management. In addition, 347 Microfinance Companies and 28 Savings and Loans companies have also been closed down in the clean up.
In all these, the preacher is encouraging his congregants to remain calm because there is light at the end of the tunnel.
“God will bless you… I came to encourage you. If in the same year God could bless Isaac, the Lord will bless you.
“The Bible says the man [Isaac] waxed great, he went forward, he grew until he became very great; that’ll be your portion, and that will be your testimony,” he said in a sermon reported by Classfmonline.com.
