So unless the Holy Spirit leads you, you can\u2019t do this. The work isn\u2019t for humans, it\u2019s for God, it\u2019s the spirit that gives us the power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When questioned by the host to differentiate between Ministry and Talent and tell which one she falls under, she said, \u201cHmmm we\u2019ve talent and ministry so once a person can sing very well we termed it as a talent and when another person have no beautiful voice to sing but the moment such a person opens his or her mouth to sing, you can definitely tell that it\u2019s a ministry or a call. For me I fall under a ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: 4 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 13 January 2017 Source: kasapafmonline.com 2017-01-13 Amy Newman Talented gospel singer, Amy Newman has said though she\u2019s been off the music scene, she still ministers at churches but not for commercial purposes.
