The Head Pastor for Cedar Mountain Chapel-Assemblies of God, Rev Stephen Wengam has urged Ghanaians to observe the COVID-19 protocols rather than blaming God for the pandemic.
Speaking to Nana Aba Anamoah on Starr Chat on Wednesday 1st November 2021, Rev Wengam stated that those blaming God for not preventing the pandemic from hitting the earth do not know the Bible.
According to him, because of the nature of the pandemic and the world was not prepared what his church came up with was “we decided to put a system in place where the church could survive three months, should there be an incident like another pandemic.”
“We can’t blame God when anything goes wrong. Those blaming God, should go back and understand the Bible, apply common sense, follow rules, live a disciplined life.
“God has created the world and He put man in charge. God has given us the wisdom to be able to overcome any problem. It is left to us to do the right things. How many people were following the protocols?,” Rev Wengam quizzed.
He said throughout the partial lockdown in Accra and after what his church also did was reach out to the members via phone, social media. “And at a point in time, we sent relief to members.”
Meanwhile, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) has confirmed that the COVID-19 Omicron variant has been discovered at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in Accra.
However, the variant has not yet gotten to the Ghanaian communities.
The Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, during a presentation at the launch of Ghana’s Covid-19 vaccination month which starts Wednesday, December 1, 2021, confirmed the Omicron variant has been detected in the country.
“The Omicron variant of the COVID-19 disease has been found at the Kotoka International Airport. The good thing is that in the community test done so far, we have not seen any Omicron within the community of Ghana. But the danger is that if someone has the Omicron, and it is incubating, it will not be found at the airport,” he cautioned.
