Daughters of Glorious Jesus have offered what looks like an indirect to response to statement made by their younger colleague Moses OK who suggested that Christians who listen to secular music are hell bound.
The veteran musicians who are unarguably one of the best gospel acts and musicians in the history of Ghana music mentioned Christians can listen to secular music if only the message can gravitate them to do what is right.
“It is God who gives talent. As a Christian, you can listen to secular songs; even their lyrics can touch you and compel you to do the right thing. The gift is from God,” Edna a member of the trio pointed out.

“I like Amakye Dede’s songs, and I like him. This doesn’t make me a non-believer. You don’t judge people’s outlooks and determine whether the person is a Christian or not. That I am playing Amakye Dede in my car doesn’t mean I am not a Christian.”
Monica Owusu Ansah who is also the wife of Bishop Dr Yaw Owusu Ansah agreed with the submission adding that she and her husband were fans of Kojo Antwi.
“Some of Kojo Antwi’s songs give good counsel. He sings love songs. If you are married and listen to some of those songs with your husband, isn’t it a good feeling? Because Kojo Antwi also goes to church,” Mrs Owusu Ansah revealed as published by 3News.
Moses Osei Kwarteng, a seasoned Ghanaian gospel singer better known in the entertainment industry as Moses OK, caused a stir not too long ago when he warned Christians to stop listening to secular music if they don’t want to miss the entrance to heaven.
He asserts that if a Christian continues to gravitate toward tracks that are not scriptural, he risks contaminating his spirituality.
Moses elaborated on this topic in an interview with entertainment journalist Victor Kodom from Onua TV/Onua FM, saying that Christians should not listen to secular music because it does not edify them.

“You can’t listen to songs that do not carry the word of God, songs that don’t correspond with the scriptures. That’s why I don’t encourage people to listen to secular songs,” he said.
Moses urged people to listen to Gospel music, which he described as having the spirit of God, in the interview because he explained that the words in songs’ lyrics are spirit and they create power.
“You can’t listen to any song as a believer, emphasizes good Christians. I’m not talking about those who just call themselves Christians, I’m talking about those who have the spirit of God in them.
You have to listen to Gospel songs because whenever you consume music, the words come directly to your heart, which forms and frames your life. That’s the reason why God himself gave us his word, which is light onto our path,” he concluded.
