Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician Mary Ghansah has urged new gospel artistes to stop focusing on hit songs but rather on God’s purpose for their songs.
In an interview on Joy Prime, she addressed the common concern among emerging gospel artists about not achieving immediate success.
Ghansah stated that each song has a unique purpose and pointed out the importance of perseverance and faith in God’s plan for their music.
“We’ve forgotten that with each song you release, God is going to use that song to address a particular set of people,” she said.
She highlighted that it is ultimately God’s decision how many people a song will bless, whether it be ten, a thousand, or an uncountable number.
“So you don’t decide which song is going to bless people. It’s God’s decision,” she added.
Ghansah drew a parallel to the biblical story of the young boy who gave Jesus five loaves of bread and two fish, which Jesus then used to feed a multitude.
She encouraged gospel artistes to do their part by promoting their music and leaving the rest to God.
“The five loaves of bread and two fish may symbolise the song that God has given you. So push it, do your part, and leave the rest to God.
“Some people do one album, and when it doesn’t become a hit, they want to fold up. No, you have to keep on doing what you are doing. One day, God may pick something from what you are doing to bless the people,” she urged.
