Ofori Amponsah has disclosed why he established a church in 2013 after he claimed God had called him to be a pastor.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Delay on the Delay Show, he said even though he was called by God to do his work, his calling was not to be a pastor, a reason he went back to secular music.<\/p>\n
The highlife singer admitted that his decision to found Family of Faith and Love Ministries was a miscalculation.<\/p>\n
According to him, the pain and frustration he went through in life goaded him to assume the duties of a pastor when he had not been ordained.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can say God did not call me to be a pastor; maybe for something else,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly a fool doesn\u2019t change his mind. I know what my strengths are. I don\u2019t feel like writing Gospel music. Gospel is my belief, and I will not change from it. It is a belief I have in God, I won\u2019t change. But I don\u2019t think that God calls everyone to be a gospel singer,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He apologised to his fans and loved ones who may have been disappointed in his actions during his \u2018u-turn\u2019 from gospel music.<\/p>\n
He said he put a hold on his music career because he had gone through a broken heart, failed relationship and could not have the inspiration and sound mind to compose music.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, he admitted that while he was doing the work of God as a pastor and had vowed never to do secular music again, he was \u2018sneaking\u2019 to Kaywa\u2019s studios to record secular songs.<\/p>\n
Ofori Amponsah, who got onto the music scene in 1999, has produced 12 albums. He has songs such as \u2018Otoolege,\u2019 \u2018Lady\u2019 \u2018Asew,\u2019 \u2018Cinderella,\u2019 among others.<\/p>\n
In 2012, he announced that he had been called by God into His vineyard as an evangelist and prophet, and vowed not to do secular music again. He composed a few gospel songs which did not receive enough attention.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have started my own fellowship and I believe God is calling me into the ministry to tell people He is alive. All the songs I wrote and music I did was not by my strength but by a God-given talent in me, but now it is time for me to return to God just like the prodigal son,\u201d Ofori Amponsah had stated.<\/p>\n
Few years later, he went back to secular music with songs like \u2018Alewa,\u2019 \u2018Tintin\u2019 and \u2018Wonkoaa.\u2019<\/p>\n
Ofori Amponsah is currently out with a song titled \u2018Pioto,\u2019 produced by Underbeatz.<\/p>\n
