Gospel artiste Eugene Dzifa Amedonu, known in the gospel music scene as Minister Eugene, has stated that some Ghanaian gospel artistes are not committed Christians.
According to him, those artistes in the gospel music industry are only in to make money for themselves but not to promote the teachings of Christ.
In an interview, the gospel singer stressed that to do gospel music was a calling and that every gospel musician must have Christ as his or her foundation and also study the Bible to guide them in their day-to-day activities.
He noted, “Gospel artistes are supposed to be soul winners for Christ. Everything we do must be in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and we must do it, being grateful and showing gratitude to him through our songs.”
He added that gospel music is supposed to inspire and motivate Christians and non-Christians alike in their daily lives so that they could experience the love of God, “but today, most of the gospel music or songs do not inspire and motivate the people because they lack good messages and the blessings of God.”
The enterprising gospel singer also disclosed that the gospel music industry in Ghana had seen a number of enterprising gospel musicians “whose presence in the gospel music scene have changed the lives of many people.”
He also claimed that most gospel artistes today have rather diverted their attention to making money at the expense of saving souls for Christ.
“Our gospel artistes do not even research and study the word of God before going to the studios to record their albums and their songs are failing to comfort the brokenhearted in the society,” he lamented.
