Ohemaa Mercy, a gospel sensation, has made it clear why she believes it is cursed to record films or take pictures while participating in worship services.
She said, “There are things you can’t do when you’re going before a king or to put it another way, while worship is taking place, you are going before the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords to thank him for saving you from that accident or protecting you from it, and all of your attention is on Facebook or something like. She said on Joy Prime’s morning show on Monday, “It’s a curse on you because you don’t genuinely respect the environment and the person you were before.
The ‘Ote Me Mu’ hitmaker based her arguments on the idea that respect for upper-class people in society, much alone the God who created the cosmos, is a given.
The gospel singer also based her remarks on a personal experience she had at a previous concert.
“Worship was actually going on when the Lord opened my eyes and I saw empty chairs. There was a lady that came in, and on her chair before she came in, I saw an angel with a baby. So, when I held the microphone, I asked the lady if she was having an issue of not conceiving, and she said yes, and I said I saw an angel holding a baby, but unfortunately, you didn’t come to worship, and when you came, you weren’t serious, so the angel went away with your baby,” she narrated.
She firmly feels that these practises during worship cause people to miss out on receiving blessings at church.
When asked whether those who work in the media and cover worship services can be deemed to be under such a curse, she responded that they are an exception because it is their duty to do so, unlike other people.
“It is their work that they’ve been assigned to do. That is different from you, who is there on a mission or purpose, and God even sees them as the work that they’re doing,” she asserted.
The gospel singer thinks that God views media professionals’ labour as a form of gospel ministry.
Prior to that, the songwriter of “Aseda” pleaded with all Christians to refrain from filming or taking photos of themselves while worship was in progress in order to remain focused and allow themselves to be touched or delivered by God.
Ohemaa Mercy is slated to host the 10th iteration of her Tehillah Experience concert at the Oil Dome, Royalhouse Chapel International, on August 13, 2023.
Famous gospel musicians including S.K. Frimpong, Ceccy Twum, Diana Hamilton, Kofi Osei Peprah, and Uncle Ato will perform at this year’s edition, called “Fire and Fragrance.”
The gospel performer is sure that the audience would remember the 10th Tehillah Experience 2023 forever.
