One
time multiple award-winning high life artiste Ofori Amponsah now a man
of God in an exclusive interview with Flex newspaper has revealed he
wants to win more celebrities for God.
When he was asked if
Ghanaians should be expecting another album from him, he said he was
focusing on the calling because it’s not an easy task.
“I have to prepare myself for what God has called me to do. With regards to the music,
it got to a time the interest wasn’t there. It could also be that for
the past twelve to thirteen years I have always been in the studio
trying to bring out something new, so I may say tiredness has set in but
now another thing is that God gave me a platform in the music industry
but I feel there is nothing to achieve anymore over there than to
concentrate on the calling that I am doing now,” he revealed.
When
he was asked if he will reduce the spate at which he produces music and
pay attention to the calling, he said: “Exactly so, but for now I am
bringing a serious one out. The main purpose is to evangelize the word
of God. I am in the studio recording this new one that blow every one’s
mind.
He explained that the first gospel album ‘Hallelujah’ was
the beginning of his calling so the concentration wasn’t that massive.
Music is a powerful tool that can be used for evangelism and that is
what he is doing now.
According to Prophet Ofori Amponsah, Ghanaians accepted his first gospel album and even now radio
stations keep playing it. “Actually the attention wasn’t like the past
that I composed and sang high life songs. This time it won’t be like
before and the expectation that it will be like the previous one is
different. This one talks about God and humankind,” the man of God
stated.
When he was asked how successful his ministry has been,
he said he started the ministry before entering into the music industry
which people didn’t know. “The ministry is something that if I don’t do,
I wouldn’t know what do to because that‘s the higher calling but it
depends on us to respond to that call. After gaining everything, one
thing I lost was the relationship with Jesus Christ and that is what I
wanted to achieve by drawing closer to the Lord Jesus Christ and by the
grace, I am able to direct lost souls with the gift I have,” he
revealed.
When he was asked if he still associates with his
former colleagues in the secular world scene he responded: “My church is
lucky because we have stars like Prince David Osei and more sometimes
we get stars who visit us. There is a notion that when you are a secular
artiste you are evil. Sometimes when I go for evangelism and God is
working, people keep on asking if it’s for real because they feel I
can’t be called but they forget that God calls the dirty ones and use
them as his vessels.” |
