A Twitter user, Boakye Mensah Ohene, has warned that making love between 12am and 3am could be “dangerous”.
In a series of tweets, Ohene claimed that his pastor told him that the period between 12 and 3am was the “worst time to have sex”.
He quoted the pastor as saying that God sends angels to bless people and bring the responses to their prayers around that time.
According to him, when the angels come to see couples making love, they leave with the responses to prayers and other blessings they brought because they are forbidden from seeing the unclothedness of people.
The claim provoked criticism from members of the public on social media, with some accusing the pastor of distorting the message of God.
“People these days are preaching their own words, not the word of God … Please where in the Bible [does] God forbid married couple to have sex between 12am – 3am?”
one commentator said. YEN.com.gh reader, Jacob Kluste, rejected the pastor’s assertion, saying that God sees everything people do at every point in time.
In his view, the only thing people need to do to access God’s blessings is to follow the instructions of God and be faithful to him.
“…God will bring your blessings as couples as far as you do the right things, walk in God’s way and all other things shall be added unto you according to his riches and glory,” he said.
