A big church service, supervised by one of Ghana’s famous preacher-men, was held in the West African country on Sunday to celebrate football club, Chelsea’s 2016/17 English Premier League title success.
The massively-attended service hosted by Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Markwei (an Arsenal fan) at the Living Streams International Church in Accra was held with members dressed in their Chelsea jerseys while a cake was cut to celebrate the Stamford Bridge title.
Despite the London-based club being thousands of miles away from Ghana, the Ghanaian fans of the club celebrated it gusto as the pastor preached the sermon under the theme ‘Learn to promote the success of others’.
The event which was heavily publicized by another famous pastor Rev. Azigiza Junior, who is an ardent Blues fan, saw supporters of some rival English sides also attending to hear the sermon.
Rev. Dr. Markwei told the title-starved fans of Arsenal and Manchester United who were in attendance that it is Godly to also celebrate the success of others.
“Fellowship with those who rejoice in your victory. They were 10th last year and we called them names thinking they can’t rise again but today here they are on top. With God nothing is impossible,” Rev. Markwei said in his sermon.
The exploits of former Chelsea stars Michael Essien and Marcel Desailly – both Ghanaians – have drawn a huge following for Chelsea in the West African country.

That is why i will not go to church that is younger than my father. Africans will always be mocked always because we are not serious with inferior and poluted religion.
This is absolute ***barred word***!!! How can you do this in a serious country like ours??? They should have gone for cleanup exercise if they have nothing to do!! I pray I should not be a part of this mockery to the wise African!
When men of God are lost, where will the congregation find themselves
Can we be serious as people for once. What is the sense in this at all. When has the Church organize thanksgiving service for a Ghanaian club for winning the league? This is mental slavery.
this is call sickness, what is this....ahhhhh mother ghana.....
We are diluting Christianity. small, small. very soon on Sundays mornings we will play football in church and call it fellowship. whiles souls are perishing.How may of the Chelsea players are Born again, or even believe in Jesus Christ.The church has started rubbing shoulders with smaller gods (Football,Telenovela) when its time for GOD we rather give it to other gods. Please let us be careful. i can also be deceived .
IF THIS IS NOT STUP.IDITY THEN WHAT?
You see how the devil is gradually taking over the church? Jesus is not interested in football...as for the Blackman,the day you will learn sen$e.......
Are they crazy crazy or something. Organizing a church service for a foreign team or my God. Is on heard of.
...and there are people in the church who have no money to even buy ice kenkey that morning
