Don’t Focus On Social Media Trends – Elder Francis Agyei
Ghanaian gospel music legend, Elder Francis Agyei advises gospel musicians. Moreover, he stated that they should not focus on social media trends. Also, not to the neglect their spirituality, which is the bedrock of their chosen path,
“Gospel Music is spiritual and a ministry. It is not all about sitting on facebook for trends and canvassing for votes. You should trend in the anointing of doing something good”
He made these statements to The Spectator ahead of the launch of his ‘New Covenant’ album. Furthermore, he added that was not condemning any artiste for using social media. However, they must use it positively in spreading the works of God and not negativity.
Also, he urged them not to leave behind spirituality and chase popularity, adding that being a gospel artiste goes beyond just singing.
For him, as a gospel musician, one should know God, spend time with their creator
“God will reveal himself and gift you the artiste with an anointed song”
Therefore, he advised gospel musicians to be circumspect and spiritual in all their endeavour to be able to produce spirit- filled songs to change the lives of people and liberate them from bondage.
Looking at the gospel music from his break, Elder Francis Agyei said, many musicians had come into the scene, but the impact of gospel music on Christians and the country was less.
