Christian Atsu, a Newcastle player, died a week ago after being struck by a 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Turkey. The earthquake killed over 10,000 people and injured thousands of others.
During an interview on Ghana News Youtube, Deacon Francis Asare Amegavi, a resident of Tamale in the Northern Region, claimed that God asked him to inform the family of Christian Atsu that their beloved one could be resurrected.
According to the prayerful deacon, God wishes to use Christian Atsu’s case to demonstrate to the world’s unrepentant that he is real and all-powerful.
The deacon said that God wants Ghanaians to come together and pray for repentance and that once done, the player will come back to life as if nothing had happened.
”What he (God) has actually revealed to me is that when we come together as a nation and not as separate entities and pray for repentance, he is going to show us glory, that glory is raising him, Atsu from the dead”.
“I told a pastor about what God has told me and he said that he also had a vision where Ghanaians were praying fervently in an open space with the late player lying in state,” he said.
