– –<\/span> Veteran Afro-jazz and highlife legend Gyedu-Blay Ambolley has disclosed that he sees no need in praying through Jesus who is not God when he can directly pray to God and request for whatever he wants.<\/p>\n Speaking in a recent interview on Class FM, Ambolley said; \u201cPeople are saying Jesus is God. We mustn\u2019t forget that all of us went through missionary schools brought forth my the Whites. All the schools that we went to, Anglican, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic were established by the missionaries and they taught us what they wanted us to know\u201d.<\/p>\n – –<\/span> Ambolley further explained that he cannot say Jesus is God when he doesn\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n \u201cI believe in being truthful to myself, I believe that I cannot say Jesus is God or if I want to pray to the creator, I have to pray to the creator through Jesus. t\u2019s just like [being in] a family that you\u2019re not at peace with your father, so, if you want anything from your father, maybe you pass through your brother or you pass through your sister because you can\u2019t go straight to your father because of your misbehaving, so, now you want to use somebody to get through to your father.\u201d<\/p>\n Ambolley further bemoaned that when he was brought into the world, everything was in order and it will still be the same after he dies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cMe, if I want anything, I go straight to my creator, I\u2019m never going to go through Jesus; for what? Before I came into this world, everything was in order; when I leave this world, the order is still going to be the same, I\u2019m not going to say somebody has come so [I have to pray through him] because I see Jesus as a teacher; a teacher that he has told you that if you want to go to God, this is the way; he has finished his job\u201d, Ambolley argued.<\/p>\n He, therefore, wondered why people make so much noise about Jesus in churches.<\/p>\n \u201cNow, people are always crying: \u2018In the name of Jesus\u2019. People in the churches are using microphones and speakers [disturbing everybody]. It\u2019s like anything they want from the father now, they are speaking through microphones and speakers for everybody to know what they want and even the Jesus that we are talking about said: \u2018If you want to have any collaboration with your father, go to your room and speak with your father one-on-one. It\u2019s not that you take a microphone and \u2018gbegbegbegbegbe\u2019. Look at where religion is going now. Now people are using religion to make themselves rich and all that; they\u2019ve forgotten that money is not the key\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n Gyedu Ambolley is the first musician from Ghana to formally incorporate rap forms into local highlife rhythms, Ambolley created the musical genre Simigwa.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n – –<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
