Prophet Nicholas Osei aka Kumchacha, the founder and head of Heaven’s Gate International Ministries, has disputed Sonnie Badu’s recent assertions that pork is unfit for human eating.
The gospel musician and cum preacher recently asserted that pork is evil and should not be ingested, but Kumchacha says there is no biblical basis to support this assertion.
“When you read the Bible, pork is not listed in the things that defiles the human body. I love pork meat because it is tasty. So, I will plead with my brother Sonnie Badu not to condemn my favourite,” Kumchacha said on Accra-based Okay FM.
Kumchacha continued by using passages from the Bible to support his claim that Christians are not forbidden from eating pork.
stating that just because one does not appreciate a certain sort of cuisine does not mean that others should not be allowed to enjoy it.
“When you go to East Legon, you see rich people lined up with expensive cars to buy pork. It is wealthy and important people who eat pork. So, no one claim that because Jesus commanded evil spirit to enter into some pigs, it is not good for consumption.
“While that is true, those pigs run and drowned in the sea and it is the fishes that eat dead animals in the sea, so if you don’t eat pork then stop eating sea fish and allow us to eat our pork.,” he added.
In a recent social media post, Rev. Sonnie Badu, the founder of Rockhill Chapel, urged Christians to be cautious about the foods they eat because some could make them easily available to certain devils.
Pig meat was especially mentioned by Badu as the uncleanest food and the one that summons evil spirits.
He highlighted that some animals, especially pigs, were designated as unclean by the Bible, and as a result, Christians were required to avoid them.
“When the devil wants to get through to you, they must first test your spiritual appetite. The number one way through which witches invade bodies is food. Also, the bible declares that some animals are unclean. What do you think an unclean animal is? In order words, when that unclean animal is found in you spiritually, it gives the witch quick access to jump in.
“Anything that has pork, pork is unclean! Even when you go to the Chinese restaurant and they ask for your order and you say pork, they keep asking you just to be sure, because they are aware of the kind of animal you are requesting to have,” he stressed.
Touching on how demons usually operate on victims who consume unclean foods, he said.
“Once the demons discover that you have eaten something unclean, your spirit automatically gets subdued. Once you go to bed, they come, because you gave them access.”
