Gospel singer Cecilia Marfo has revealed the alarming decrease in her church’s membership, which has gone from more than 400 to just 40.
She blames fellow gospel musician Diana Asamoah and Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP) Kennedy Agyapong for the near-collapse of her church. Some of her congregation stopped coming to her church as a result of their problems with her.
Cecilia Marfo stated that she has forgiven those who have had a negative influence on her ministry in an emotional interview with JoyPrime TV on the Prime Morning show. However, she still believes that God will take care of the situation in the end.
The following is how the conversation flowed during the interview:
Rosely Felli: “There was a time when Kennedy Agyapong was criticizing some gospel musicians, and some people said it affected their church. Were you also affected?
Cecilia Marfo: What they have done to me, God will fight for me. I had over 400 church members. If I tell you it’s left with 40, would you believe it? Sometimes, when I think about the church I cry, and I know everyone will be held accountable by God.
Roselyn Felli: What Diana did pained you because she was like a sister to you, right?
Cecilia Marfo: When my sister Diana Asamoah invited me to her program, I attended, but God told me to keep quiet because I am not the one to judge. The people who have repented through my songs are more than my church members. I have controlled myself, but the way I think about the church is worrying, and I know God has been good to me. The Bible says we should let things go. It is past, but she is my sister. As believers, we should be wary of certain things that we do.”
Diana Asamoah had previously characterized Cecilia Marfo as spiritually immature due to her loud tone when ministering.
She suggested that Cecilia had not yet matured in her faith and that growth would come through guidance and counseling.
Diana’s remark left Cecilia Marfo feeling extremely let down.
