Prophet Nicholas Osei aka Kumchacha, the founder and head of Heaven’s Gate Ministries, has admitted that if he had the ability, he would have allowed someone to perish in lieu of Black Stars footballer Christian Atsu.
Even if one cannot question God’s judgments, according to Kumchacha, certain Ghanaians do not deserve to live if they were to be compared to the late footballer and his deeds.
“I say that if death could be swapped, I would have swapped Atsu’s death with someone else. I would have done just that but one cannot understand the work of God,” the prophet said during an interview on Onua TV monitored by Pak MediaGh.
Kumchacha added that “We are all in this country where people have purchased government bond for five to 10 years and out of nowhere someone has sworn to take it away from pensioners regardless of whether they will get money for medication or they will die, and that they will receive their money in 15 years’ time. How can all these people be around while Atsu is gone, if only it was possible to swap death. How can you comprehend this?”
Speaking on Christian Atsu’s character, Kumchacha noted that the numerous tributes that have been paid to him after his passing are evidence of his goodness.
“Even the charity that he engaged in, we pastors cannot measure up to that. Because we pastors plant certain things in the minds of our members. We ask them to build their wealth in heaven whiles we are building our own right here on earth. The Bible teaches us in Hebrews 11:5 that when Enoch was going to be lifted up to heaven, they were testimonies about how pleasing he was to God. Today, across Ghana, the young and old are mourning the death of Atsu and bearing testimony to his benevolence,” he said.
This enormous earthquake that struck regions of Turkey and Syria over a week ago caused Christian Atsu’s death.
Following the February6, 2023 earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 that stayed, the former Black Stars player’s body was discovered buried under debris.
