‘Secular Musicians Not Agents Of Devil’

Brother Sammy, a Ghanaian gospel musician, who is credited with a number of hit songs, has rubbished the wrong impression created by many that secular musicians are propagating the works of the devil, revealing how he enjoys listening to secular music more than even gospel.

The controversial gospel musician, born Samuel Opoku, said secular performers ought not to be viewed as specialists of Satan since a portion of their tunes contain strong messages from the Bible.

According to the gospel singer, who has had collaborations with over 120 artistes, it is wrong for secular musicians to be tagged as demonic just because they chose a different genre of music, adding that Ghanaians are too judgmental and always want to crucify secular musicians because they think secular musicians are winning souls for the devil.

The ‘Pentecost Gya’ singer told Ambassador TV in an interview, “Ghanaians are excessively critical and they generally need to execute common artistes since they think mainstream performers are winning spirits for Satan. Certain individuals consider gospel artistes, particularly myself, to be ‘Jesus Christ’, yet we are not on the grounds that we can never be God. Doing Gospel music doesn’t make one a ‘Jesus Christ’.”

“The problem I have with Christians is that when they realise you are doing something which is against the will of God, they will never come near you, but if you fail to go to the person how can you win that person for Jesus Christ?” he quizzed.

“I won’t mind doing collaboration with Stonebwoy, Lasmid, Shatta Wale among others to win souls for Christ,” he added.

Brother Sammy believes that the secular artistes mentioned stand tall among their colleagues, hence he will work with them when he gets the opportunity.

Another gospel artiste, Noble Nketsiah, in his recent interview with Onua FM on the same topic, stated, “The fact that people do secular songs does not make them bad. It’s the heart that determines who you are. There are so many people doing gospel music with bad character or motive.”
