Former highlife artiste, Evangelist Papa Shee talks about lifestyles of women. Moreover, he condemned people who undergo plastic surgery. According to him, they won’t make it to heaven.

Papa Shee made these statements in an interview on Neat FM. He stated emphatically that any person who changes the shape or colour of his/her body will end up in hell. This is because they don’t appreciate the creation of God.

Also, he stated that the devil is very crafty. Therefore, he whispers into the ears of people to go for plastic surgery because their bodies have deformed.

According to him, the evil spirit that leads people to alter their body is called the “spirit of Jezebel”.

“The enemy is very crafty anyways. The old serpent is very crafty . . . We have a spirit called spirit of Jezebel. That woman had a demonic spirit. It doesn’t make you appreciate what you have”

Furthermore, he spoke against women who apply make-up or cosmetics to their face to appear prettier asserting that they are all against God and will face the judgment of God.

Papa Shee advised people to appreciate themselves.

“when you have a self-confidence that God dwells in you and you are the image of God, you don’t concern yourself with people’s perceptions. If you don’t take care, people will push you for you to do something . . . Don’t listen to people. Listen to God. God delights in us in heaven, so don’t allow anybody to push you”.

businesses, partly because the movie industry has been quite slow lately.

husband was okay with what she does because he also leaves at a point in time when he has a busy schedule too.

“He gets busy as well and he is most at times traveling. Some musicians are Accra musicians but Praye is for the whole Ghana so he gets to travel a lot. When he’s out and we home we don’t complain”.

She went on to reveal how she met with her husband, who at that time was already a household name in the country.

She said they first met at the beach, where they established friendship and in some months’ time, it developed to something serious.

“there’s pressure on us most of the time for so many things. Most people see celebrities as rich and famous so when they see you and you are not driving let’s say a G-Wagon; they are like okay, what happened?”

The actress touched on a rather sensitive question posed by Lexis Bill on whether she has been

intimate with an actor on set before.

She replied by saying she has kissed passionately on set before, but it was all work.
