Reverend Waakye tells how he turned deaf ears to God’s call for almost 40 years
Reverend Waakye tells how he turned deaf ears to God’s call for almost 40 years; Ace actor Prince Yawson, popularly known as ‘Waakye’ now a full-time Reverend Minister at the Word Impact Centre in Accra has shared his story about how he turned deaf ears to God’s call for almost 40 years. That’s a very long time. According to him, God started calling him 40 years ago but he was always running away from the call because he thought he didn’t fit to be a reverend Minister.
Speaking in an interview on Onua TV’s Maakye on Monday, his first-ever interview after he was ordained, Waakye said: “I had the call almost 40 years now but I was recalcitrant when I heard the voice of God”.
He added that “That is why I was roving so I asked myself why God called me because we have so many righteous people in the country”.
Waakye explained that “The call came again when I was writing at the beach. I saw this man with children. He passed by me but came back and said why are you being recalcitrant? I asked him and the man said why has God been calling you but you do not want to do the job?”
Rev Yawson said “The man I had never seen warned me to do the job else I will suffer. I did not know him. If I knew him, I would have mentioned his name. He told me to start a small church but in no time, I suffered a cardiac arrest”.
The veteran Ghanaian actor was on Sunday, April 25 ordained as a Rev Minister at the Word Impact Center in Accra.
The ordination was attended by his friends, family, and some media personnel.
