Bishop Daniel Obinim, Founder and Leader of the International Godsway Church, reveals the severe repercussions of his ongoing legal feud with Assin Central lawmaker Kennedy Agyapong, expressing distress over the near collapse of his church.
The well-known pastor blamed what he called a “unwise” confrontation with the politician for the recent collapse of his church in a moving and self-recorded video that was shared on social media.
Obinim revealed a sharp drop in attendance and expressed profound regret over the attrition rate in his church membership in the moving video. He revealed that the numbers in his congregation had dropped from thousands to a meager two hundred.

The religious leader proposed that the financial strain he suffered during his legal battle with Agyapong was the reason for his waning influence.
Obinim revealed that he had hired seven different solicitors to defend him in the court case, and each one required a deposit of at least twenty thousand cedis in order to appear in court.
The pastor is allegedly in a vulnerable situation as a result of the financial strain and the psychological effects of their protracted disagreement.
The bishop fervently counseled others to weigh their opponents’ strength before entering into any kind of dispute or legal action.
Drawing from his own experience, he emphasized the need for people to assess their ability to withstand the potential consequences of such disputes.
Kennedy Agyapong, a well-known politician in Ghana who is well-known for taking strong positions on a number of issues, has not yet given a public response to Obinim’s most recent remarks.
Bishop Obinim has the difficult task of reconstructing his church and winning back his congregation’s trust while the legal battle rages on.
The fallout from this well-known dispute prompts debates about the relationship between politics and religious leadership as well as the effects of interpersonal disputes on the organizations they represent.
