“Behind the scenes” God is working- Kofi Kinaata’s song features on 31st night message

Rapper Kofi Kinaata’s single ‘ behind the scenes’ featured prominently on 31st night’s message to congregants of the Mount Olivet Methodist Church in Dansoman.

Comparing the lyrics of the song to the life of the biblical Joseph in Genesis 41:16, Rev Richmond Abaka said ”Just as the Rapper said in his song, God is always working behind the scenes for us.”

He said Joseph’s brothers sold him out into slavery but God elevated him to become the Minister of Agriculture in Pharaoh’s place.

“Unfortunately for Joseph’s brothers, they meant it for bad, but God meant it for good…God was working behind the scenes”

The minister, therefore, encouraged the congregants not to wither in their faith.

To emphasise his point, he took to singing a verse of Kinata’s song.

“Aww Jehovah Nyame aa 3bc wo whistle aa,Ma )nnhy3 Jersey mpo bc hat-trick no. Jehovah nyame aa 3bc wo whistle ma ma)tse bench mpo gye goal king….”

“M3 mma atanfo nnya nserew h3n, m3 mma ma yensuro no mmba h3n do” he sang drawing wild applause and cheers from the congregagtion.

He said despite the difficulties in life and the economic retention coronavirus had brought, God would restore His children.

“M3 mma wcnnka d3 nyame aa y3 som no no )w) hen oo” to wit ” Do not let them question us about the existence of our God”.

He akinned Joseph’s life to that of many who have left their towns to the capital to hustle.

“Many of us are Josephs in our lives, the desire to be successful has made us move from our villages,towns to Accra to hustle’

And so ” sesei kc hw3 me krom, wc keka d’m’enya bi na m’ennkai hcn oo. W’onnyim d3 )nnda fom, ‘s3 oda fom mpo. Aa nka solider fo na w)l3 guard no oo” he sang.

“2021 will be a year of restoration, do not lose hope, God is working for you’ he added.
