General Overseer of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams is appealing to the government to ease restrictions on churches and allow them to meet in smaller groups to pray and worship God.
According to him, allowing believers to pray in smaller groups will boost the country’s COVID-19 fight because the Bible has stipulated that Christians shouldn’t forsake gatherings in the Lord since where two or more are gathered, He (God) is in their midst.
Duncan Williams believes if groups of two or five are made to gather to intercede for the nation, Ghana might soon start hearing good news because prayers will arrest the virus.
Using the Bible as his reference, Duncan Williams said, “do not exempt yourself or do not stay away from the assembling of yourselves together…especially as you see the day of the Lord approaching…there’s something about the gathering of believers and I’m not talking about thousands…no, I’m saying that we should look at this very carefully because there are so many activities going on all over the place…”
He continued, “…and believers should be allowed in every community across the nations of the world and in Ghana here, to meet two, three times a day to pray and I’m saying small groups here like five here, ten here, fifteen here, twenty here all over the country.”
Asked if his request was based on monetary obligations being fulfilled by members of such gatherings, Duncan Williams was quick to note, “No, no, no, to pray and arrest the situation.”
According to him, no collections or tithes will be taken at the prayer meetings if the government allows it to take place.
Duncan Williams further said the prayers if held in smaller groups will protect Ghana as it did during the Ebola outbreak days where men of God aggressively prayed to intercede for the country.
He said, “I’m talking about aggressive violent intercession like we did when Ebola came.”
