Ohemaa Mercy, a rising star in the world of gospel music, has set the record straight on why she believes it is a sin to take photographs or films inside of a house of worship while the service is being conducted.
"When you're going before a king, there are certain things you can't do," she claimed to have said. To put it another way, you are going before the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords to thank him for protecting you or delivering you from that accident, and yet your concentration is on posting it on Facebook or whatever else you are doing while worship is taking place. She said this on the Monday morning broadcast of Joy Prime's morning show. "It's a curse on you because you don't actually respect the atmosphere and the person you're before," she explained.
The singer who achieved success with the song "Ote Me Mu" based her arguments on the observation that society accords respect to high-class individuals but not to God, who is regarded as the creator of the universe.
The gospel singer based her remarks partly on an experience she had at an event that she had attended a few years back.
When the Lord opened my eyes, I noticed that there were vacant chairs in the room where worship was taking place. There was a lady that came in, and just before she did, I noticed an angel holding a baby sitting on the chair that she was sitting in. She said, "When I was holding the microphone, I asked the lady if she was having an issue with not being able to conceive, and she said yes. Then I told her that I saw an angel holding a baby, but unfortunately, you didn't come to worship, and when you did come, you weren't serious, so the angel went away with your baby."
She is adamant in her conviction that such behaviours during worship lead to individuals missing out on the blessings that are available to them at their local church.
She claimed that members of the media who cover worship services are not subject to the curse since, unlike other people, doing so is part of their profession. In response to the question of whether or not those individuals may be deemed to be under the influence of the curse, she said that they are an exception.
They are obligated to complete the task that has been given to them. She made the point that "that is different from you, who is there on a mission or purpose, and God even sees them as the work that they are doing."
The gospel singer is of the opinion that God recognises the work of those who are involved in the media as an integral part of the gospel ministry.
Before that, the songwriter behind the song 'Aseda' advised all Christians to refrain from shooting personal films and photos during worship services in order to maintain their focus and make room for God to touch them or deliver them.
In the meantime, Ohemaa Mercy is planning to host the tenth iteration of her Tehillah Experience event at the Oil Dome, Royalhouse Chapel International on August 13, 2023. This particular performance is slated to take place in the year 2023.
S.K. Frimpong, Ceccy Twum, Diana Hamilton, Kofi Osei Peprah, and Uncle Ato are just some of the well-known gospel musicians who will be performing at this year's edition, which has been given the name "Fire and Fragrance."
The gospel musician is certain that the 10th Tehillah Experience 2023 will make an enduring impression on the attendees of the event.
