Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah, the overseer of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, claims that there is no reference in the Bible that says Christians should abandon secular music.
He stated that the bible does not condemn secular music, but rather urges us not to associate with individuals who do not believe in God’s word and that he has not come across any text that refutes secular music.
Speaking on Peace FM’s entertainment review, he made such a statement.
“The truth is, when one takes the bible, he or she will not find a verse which disregards the listening of secular music, but what the bible preaches on is not to walk or be involved with those who do not believe in the word of God. To be honest with you, I haven’t seen or have read any scripture which says Christians should not listen to secular songs”, he told the host.

Rev. Owusu Bempah did not deny that he enjoys secular music. According to him, he like such tunes, although he prefers ones with inspiring lyrics.He also mentioned that he listens to songs by Sarkodie, Nana Kwame Ampadu, and Adofo, all of whom have wise lyrics.
He said: “I am telling you the fact. I like listening to some of Sarkodie’s songs that I play in my car while driving and not talking about Nana Kwame Ampedu, Adofo, Alhaji K. Frimpong’s songs and the others which has wisdom in it. I will listen to it if there’s wisdom in Bob Marley and Lucky Dube’s songs. I listen to these songs because of the wisdom I derive from them thus so far as the secular songs speak wisdom, I’ll listen to them”.
