Ghanaians must reject homosexuality – Rev. Dr. Nuakoh

Rev. Dr. Duncan Nuakoh, the head pastor of Emmanuel Assemblies of God Church at Asafo in Kumasi, has urged president Mahama to be bold and take a firm stance against same sex marriage and other immoral sexual relationships being pushed on some African countries for legalization.

He also called on Ghanaian law makers, religious leaders and the entire populace to reject same sex marriage in order for the nation to continue to enjoy the blessings of God.

"We should say no to same sex marriage” the clergyman charged.

Rev. Duncan Nuakoh wondered why world leaders look on unconcerned while iniquity continues to destroy the moral consciousness of many nations.

“In Leviticus 18:1-30 of the Holy Bible, we see how God gave us moral laws and registered His displeasure against the vice. God stated emphatically and I quote ‘You shall not lie with a male as a woman. It is an abomination’”, he said.

He opined a nation or individual that tolerate an act described as abominable by God, becomes an enemy of God; it attracts a curse that transcends generations and a severe punishment from God including separation from God.

The Kumasi-based prominent pastor who spoke to the DAILY GUIDE in an interview said people lose their significance, attract curses and become an arch enemy of God when they disobey the warnings of God.

The clergyman said Ghana is a blessed nation and cannot go back into slavery, insisting that the people of Ghana cannot exchange the peace they are currently enjoying with the wrath of God.

“It will be very pathetic and surprising to see our dear nation which was once hailed as a model for other countries across the sub-region, to go down the drain and be cursed by God because of negligence and failure of leaders of the nation and its inhabitants to hold on to what has kept the nation this far and compromise on abominable laws,” he said.

He underscored how both Christians who use the Bible and the Muslims who use the Qur’an, frown on homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality and the rest which breed moral decadence.

Quoting Genesis 2:28, the man of God said, the Creator in His infinite wisdom, created man (Adam) and created a woman out of man and brought the woman (Eve) to Adam when he saw it was not good for man to be alone and wanted them to procreate.

“The question is, why is the original intention of God now being sacrificed for something else that attracts punishment from Him? Why same sex marriage now? Where is the image of God? Where is this world heading towards?” He quizzed.

He said if animals do not have sex with their same sex, how much more should human beings, created in the image of God with the power of reasoning indulge in it.

He took a swipe at countries that make their presidents swear either by the Bible or Qur’an when they are being sworn into office, yet fail to abide by their teachings.

America, he said, has on its dollar currency an inscription, “In God we trust” with most of its erstwhile presidents making outstanding statements about the Bible, chiefly among them, George Washington, who said, “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without the Bible.”
