Ghanaian Gospel musician Piesie Esther has called on her fellow gospel artistes to focus on their higher calling of winning souls for Christ rather than looking at success.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz during the launch of her third annual 'Made By Grace' concert, Piesie Esther emphasised that the primary mission of gospel music is to spread the word of God and lead people to salvation.
She reminded her colleagues that while financial sustainability is important, the spiritual impact of their work should always come first.
"The essence of Gospel music is to spread the Word of God and lead people to salvation. While it’s important to be sustainable in the industry, Gospel musicians should never lose sight of their higher calling—to win souls and bring people closer to Christ.
"It’s easy to get caught up in numbers, but we have to remember that we are in this to glorify God. When we think about putting concerts together, the focus should not be on making money but on making a difference in people’s lives," she said.
Meanwhile, Piesie Esther was honoured as the 'Gospel Act of the Year' at the 2024 3Music Awards, held on September 28, 2024, at the Palms Convention Center in Accra.
She triumphed over notable nominees including Diana Hamilton, Joe Mettle, Joyce Blessing, Mabel Okyere, Nacee, Perez Muzik, and Scott Evans.
Piesie Esther, known for her hit songs, "Waye Me Yie" and "Mo," is currently a prominent figure in the gospel music scene, with her music receiving widespread acclaim and airplay across Ghana.
