DJ turned Pastor, Azigiza Jnr has urged Ghanaians to rather pray for hiplife artiste Ofori Amponsah rather than criticising him.
Ofori Amponsah aside his musical craft has made huge headlines in the past years when he took up God’s mantle in 2012 to propagate the gospel only to make a U turn back to secular music with the excuse that he was never ordained as a pastor.
Well Azigiza says it is not easy being in God’s Kingdom so we should remember the Alewa hit maker when we do pray. In an interview with Doreen Andoh on cosmopolitan mix, he said:
“Unfortunately, I wouldn’t be able to suggest what went wrong with our brother Ofori Amponsah but let me let you know that coming from that kingdom (secular music) into this kingdom (God’s work) is not an easy thing.
“If you are not careful, poverty will make you go back because on the secular side somebody will call you to come for shows and give you money,” he added.
According to him, the best that Ghanaians “can do for Ofori Amponsah is to pray for him.”
“I took a decision in 1998 that I was going to serve the Lord.”
“Some thought it was just a nine-day wonder. For three years I only read the bible and went to Achimota forest to pray. I told people I had become born again when I was sure,” he said.
“If you’ve been in show business and you come into the Kingdom of God, do yourself a favour, don’t run straight to the pulpit, sit back, let somebody take off the junk off your life.
“This is because if you move from the stage to the pulpit, you will come with a show business mentality and there [Kingdom of God], it’s not about you, it’s about God. But in show business, it’s about you, so if you are not careful, you will get things wrong.”
