Former fetish priest Rt. Rev. Matthew Zikpi has shared his story of how he left fetishism to become a born-again Christian and a man of God.
Sharing his story, Rt. Rev. Mattew Zikpi disclosed that he was initiated into voodooism by his uncle in 1973, during his days as a pupil teacher at Asiana in the Ashanti Region.
Myjoyonline reports that the Deputy Chief Priest of the Alifia Shrine in 1978 now a Reverend father, learned the skill of palm wine tapping and distilling of local gin.
“No one has ever defeated him in an alcohol-drinking competition, as he was able to consume large volumes of alcohol without getting drunk.
“After several attempts by his elder brother, he denounced his deity, gave his life to Christ in 1984, relocated and joined his elder brother at Assin Atwereboanda where they fellowshipped with the Methodist Church,” the news website reports.
However, after a series of convictions from the Holy Spirit, he abandoned his idols and voodooism and obtained a Diploma in Ministry certificate from the Trinity Theological Seminary and a Theology Certificate with distinction from the University of Ghana, Legon.
He was then ordained minister of the Methodist Church in 2001. Then in 2004, He was ordained as a Minister.
