The Circuit Secretary of the Effiduase District of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) International in the Eastern Region, Elder Francis Owusu Acquah, has charged Christians in the country to desist from watching telenovelas.
According to the CAC Elder, telenovelas, which are daily serials and broadcast five or six times a week, both at prime time and during the day, are evil and devilish and have the propensity to lead Christians to hell.
He said this shortly after the centennial celebration of the church, which was concurrently celebrated nationwide and across the globe, on the theme “Impacting the word through Pentecostalism.”
Speaking to The Chronicle, Elder Owusu averred that, telenovelas such as Kumkum Bhagya’ are hindering the spiritual empowerment of Christians with its corresponding negative impact to Christian life. He has, therefore, called on Christians to regulate their time towards watching such programmes, and rather concentrate on their call.
Touching on the establishment of the church, he noted that the church was started at Anum Boso in the Eastern Region by Apostle Peter Newman Anim, somewhere in 1917.
“He started [it] as a prayer group, and in 1923, they were praying when fire came on the building they were worshipping in. The people around thought the place was getting burnt, so they came with water to quench the fire, but later realised it wasn’t a mere fire, but Heavenly fire.”
The Circuit Secretary reiterated that Apostle Anim worked very hard for the Church of God and now the church has grown and expanded in various countries such as China, England, and Togo among others.
Speaking on the theme, “Impacting the word through Pentecostalism,” he mentioned that children of God, especially women, spend more time watching telenovela than going to church to worship God.
“They rather worship telenovela’s instead of God. This is one of the way Satan is using to win souls for himself,” he said.

Your are more ore than 100% right Osofo, watching it means you're watching satan, Ghanaians don't watch it
Well said man of God.
Kumkum begya isn't a tekenovela. It's a Ghana tv series. Telenovelas re of South American origin!
So this pastor, in effect hes telling us that he has been watching, otherwise how would he know their content? Is he in hell?
As for Ghanaians they just copy anything without thinking !!! Tell you what,all those who have allowed movies,football and music to eat into your souls beware,the devil is using these things to lure you slowly into hell.be wise and spend time with God than spending all your time on irrelevant things of this world...
God bless you servant of God for this enlightenment
100'/, right. In kumkum bagya or whatever, the cast practice idolatry. They worship a graven image with six hands and six legs called buddha. Why telecast such a movie for ghanaians to watch??Do we worship idols??. Wat annoys me most is the twi they speak in those movies, making it seem as if its meant for ghanaians. Pls those movies are no where near our culture or our believes so stop.
