Ghanaian gospel sensation Kofi Owusu Peprah has urged his colleagues to let go of the intention of making financial gains from ministry work.
In an interview on Joy Prime’s Changes show, he referenced the Bible, explaining that Jesus Christ did not charge anyone for the blood shed on the cross.
However, if one must charge, he advised considering the size of the church and the type of event, as not everyone may be able to afford the fee.
“We have not been called to make money out it. My plea is that as Christians, we shouldn’t be so rigid and hard fisted on how people should get you. You need to consider a lot of things like the size of the church. Let’s not be so strict; it’s not cast in stone. If you had to put a charge on the message of the cross, how much will it be? You can’t put a price on the cross,” he told the host, Roselyn Felli.
Mr. Peprah also emphasized that event organizers should take into account the logistics involved for the musicians and ensure they are fairly compensated, enabling them to pay those who assist in their performances.
He firmly believes that anyone guided by the Holy Spirit who invites a gospel artist to perform would gladly and promptly reward them for their work.
“If anybody invites you and the person truly has the Holy Spirit in him or her, the person wouldn’t have a problem with some of these things,” he said.
