Rose Adjei releases single to inspire faith in God
Rose Adjei
Rose Adjei, a multiple award-winning gospel artiste, has released a single dubbed “Ne Mmre”, meaning God’s Time, to remind people of the need to wait upon the Lord.
The spirit-filled song by the powerful songstress, which comes with a blend of afro-highlife groove, inspires listeners to trust in the timings of God, and that he is a prayer-answering God.
The worship song provides vivid examples of God’s interventions in trying times for many people, and the need for all to have faith in Him.
According to her, the song is based on the divine inspiration that God works in his own time and season.
The song, she explains is inspired by Isaiah 40:31, which states that “…they who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
Judging from the continuous blessings on her life after going through difficult situations, she remains confident that God would prove himself to all those who exhibit faith and wait upon him.
Rose Adjei has three albums to her credit, namely “God’s Favour,” “Judgement Day” and “Na God.” Her last album, “Na God” won over 25 awards and citations from various gospel music events across the country this year.
Legendary Ghanaian gospel musician and founder of the Asomafo gospel group, Yaw Sarpong, is reporteddead.
The 66 year old gospel artiste is said to have died at the Emena Hospital in Kumasi on January 20, where he was receiving medical treatment.
For sometime now, Yaw Sarpong had been dealing with prolonged health challenges, forcing him to reduce his public appearances and step away periodically from performances.
Yaw Sarpong is widely credited as a pioneer of contemporary Akan gospel music.
Through Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo, he introduced a distinctive sound marked by rich harmonies, disciplined arrangements and lyrics firmly grounded in Christian teachings.
His leadership and musical direction helped shape the identity of gospel music in Ghana for decades.
Some popular tunes by the group includes ‘Wo Haw Ne Sen’, ‘Tie Obiaa’, ‘Aduro Yesu’ and ‘Awurade Kasa’, tracks that continue to feature prominently in churches and Christian gatherings across the country.
Yaw Sarpong’s death comes barely some weeks after the passing of Maame Tiwa, a key pillar of the Yaw Sarpong’s Asomafo music group.
