Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, leader of Perez Chapel International
The founder and leader of Perez Chapel International, Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, has shared how he used to enjoy smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol before he was saved.
In an interview with Joy Prime shared on social media platform X, the celebrated man of God recounted the events that led to his decision to give his life to Christ.
He explained that as a pupil teacher, he was hired by a family to teach their daughters. Upon starting, he developed feelings for the two sisters and actually wanted to date one of them.
However, his plans did not come to fruition before he met Jesus Christ.
“I was a pupil teacher and I was also doing extra classes for others. This family invited me to teach their daughters. When I arrived, there were two sisters, and I liked both of them. When I was making my move, one of them said, ‘My boyfriend is Jesus, and I want to introduce you to my boyfriend.’
“So, I thought it was a joke and said, ‘Okay, if that’s all it takes for you to become my girlfriend, then I will go with you to church.’
“I remember that day in 1987, I was high on marijuana. I walked into the church room wearing what we used to call a Bola shirt and waist-high trousers. I sat at the back, waiting for the service to end so I could leave with this girl.
“Then I heard the preacher say, ‘If you want to give your life to Jesus…’ I came under conviction. I don’t remember exactly what he said because I was high, but I remember I had never heard an altar call before. When I heard the altar call, I went to the front, gave my life to Jesus, and on that day, the power of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco was broken from my life.”
