A Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. David Wumbei Akonsi of the Assemblies of God in Ghana has expressed his support for Ghana Parliament’s decision to pass the LGBTQ+ Bill. Dr. Akonsi believes that the Parliament accurately represented the majority of Ghanaians in passing this controversial bill.
Notably, Ghanaian economist Mr. Kwame Pianim has urged the US, UK, IMF, and World Bank to reconsider their threats to punish Ghanaians for the passage of the Anti LGBTQ+ Bill. He emphasized that responsibility should lie with the Speaker of Parliament and the MPs, rather than the entire population.
Dr. Akonsi, speaking as a Christian clergy, emphasized that the Parliament of Ghana acted on behalf of the people who elected them and that the minority cannot supersede the rights of the majority. He firmly believes that Ghana should prioritize obedience to God’s word, even in the face of external threats.
“Do not be afraid of those who kill your body and cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Matthew 10:28). There is an obvious conflict between what the powers are saying and what God has said in His word, and as a godly nation we should obey God rather than man. He said
Despite the looming consequences and threats, Dr. Akonsi cited biblical scripture and reassured Ghanaians that standing for righteousness and upholding moral values will be commended by God. He encouraged the nation to remain steadfast in their beliefs and trust in God’s protection.
“Our National Anthem is a prayer to God. Our National Pledge ends with the prayer, “So Help Me God.” Our Presidents, Legislators, etc., are sworn into office in the name of the Almighty God. So, we may not be a theocracy, but we are people of God who know that we can do nothing without the help of God. God will not also leave us to our fate. He will indeed help us.
Rev. Dr. Akonsi further reminded Ghanaians that in the face of adversity, the battle ultimately belongs to the Lord. He urged the population not to fear repercussions for doing what is right and encouraged them to stand firm in their faith.
