Kwabena Kwabena, the legendary contemporary highlife artist, has explained why he no longer attends church. He believes that some gospel musicians are willing to mistreat God’s house for financial gain.
The highlife performer believes Given the importance placed on material possessions in the modern world, it’s understandable that people focus their attention on building bank accounts, so they do all sorts of things, which is why they’re losing their craft.
“Money is merely the byproduct of creativity.” Because of material things, it’s vital in today’s world that we type of focus on money, but I can safely state that if we focus on money too much, we’ll lose the craft.
I just witnessed something that gospel musicians have begun to do that saddens me. It’s heartbreaking… Because I write gospel music and understand what gospel music is supposed to do, I was saddened to learn that gospel musicians have begun touring on worldly matters.” he stated
In an interview with Halifax on Okay FM’s Best Entertainment news show, which is monitored by Tru News Resport, he explained why he quit going to church.
“Two weeks ago, I happened upon two gentlemen, one of whom I greatly appreciate his music, who appeared to be arguing. Then we discovered that one was ready to unveil something, so they needed some excitement, and that’s how the whole thing came about.
And then, recently, the other party had to do something, so I saw an advertising by a gospel singer of a lady shaking her buttocks to attract people to the house of God. “I have a problem with how we are treating God’s kingdom.”
He recommended that women avoid wearing skintight clothing to worship, saying that they are welcome to do so anywhere else but not in a house of worship.
“Let me tell you something. Even if you have dresses that tighten your ass, you don’t wear them to church. You have places you can wear those dresses to, but when you are going to the house of God, there should be a purpose why you are going there, and please, we must all start to behave in a certain manner… For me, it’s a shame that, up until now, no pastor has spoken against it.
What has the house of God turned into? honestly it has justified why I don’t feel like stepping into any church.” he added
