Founder and Leader of Parliament Chapel International (PCI), Apostle Francis Amoako Attah, has described Ghana as “Zion in Africa” while commenting on recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa during a television interview on Angel TV.
He said the growing hostility against African migrants, particularly Ghanaians, reflects deeper spiritual and historical dynamics, urging people to reconsider negative perceptions about life in Ghana and Africa as a whole.
According to him, many Ghanaians who seek opportunities abroad do so with the belief that conditions outside the country are far better, a mindset he believes is misleading.
Apostle Amoako Attah argued that Ghana carries a special spiritual significance, warning that nations which mistreat Ghanaians risk facing consequences tied to what he described as a divine covenant.
He referenced biblical narratives to support his views, particularly the story of Abraham in the book of Genesis, which he used to illustrate displacement, migration and eventual restoration.
The preacher further claimed that historical experiences of migration and deportation should not be seen as setbacks, but rather as processes that shape and refine individuals for greater purpose.
He encouraged Ghanaians returning from South Africa and other countries to see their experiences as opportunities to develop new ideas and contribute to national progress.
“There is no failure in the Kingdom of God; every experience is a lesson,” he said, adding that challenges should be seen as part of personal and national development.
Apostle Amoako Attah also rejected notions of racial superiority, stressing that human progress depends on intellect and innovation rather than race.
He concluded by urging Ghanaians both home and abroad to embrace confidence in their identity and focus on building the country through knowledge, creativity and resilience.
