"The motivation is the call of God...I love the ministry so much that I can do it without pay," Apostle Opoku Onyinah, revealed on Hard Truth.

Apostle Opoku Onyinah draws to a close 10-year leadership of one of the fastest growing Pentecostal churches in the world. Earlier on, the pastor expressed his opposition to calls for gay rights to be respected in the country.

According to him, comments by the British prime minister to help legalize homosexuality in Ghana is an insult to Ghanaians.

“For me, that is an insult to Ghanaians. Insult to the extent that they [are] trying to dictate to us [Ghanaians]. It is against the belief of Christians, Muslims, and Traditionalists," he argued in an interview with Joy FM.

The pastor revealed that the reasons why Ghana continues to receive such pressure from the West are clearly because the country is poor and still begging Western leaders for help.
