Even Joseph was sold by his brothers - Empress Gifty consoles her husband after arrest

Hopeson Adorye and his wife, Empress Gifty

Ghanaian gospel musician Gifty Adorye, also known as Empress Gifty, has offered words of encouragement to her husband, Hopeson Adorye, following his release by the police after an arrest.

She counseled her husband not to let his arrest by the police impact him psychologically, suggesting it could serve a beneficial purpose in his life.

She compared her husband's ordeal to the biblical Joseph, who was sold by his brothers to foreigners to eliminate him, yet it turned out to be a disguised blessing that God used to promote him.

"God can use a moment of embarrassment to glorify Himself in your life. At times, individuals conspire to sully your reputation and inflict pain, but for me, such challenges fortify you, inspire ideas, and even lead to glorification.

"Joseph was not native to Egypt, but because God had predestined him for greatness, see how God arranged for his own brothers to sell him. They even slaughtered an animal and stained his garment with its blood to deceive their father into believing he had been killed. Little did they know, it was the start of something significant that God intended to accomplish in his life," she said in Twi during an Instagram live session.

Hopeson Adorye, radiating with smiles, remarked, "That's correct. That's why I stated that what transpired has raised me to glory."

Hopeson Adorye was granted bail for 20,000 Ghana cedis by a Circuit Court on May 23, 2024, after facing charges for the publication of false news.

His arrest relates to a public assertion that he detonated explosives (dynamite)
in areas of the opposition stronghold in the Volta Region during the 2016 general elections.

He acknowledged that the operation was a personal endeavour conducted without the knowledge of the regional executives.

He later clarified that the event occurred in neighbouring Togo, countering that there were no reports of explosions in the Volta Region before or during the 2016 polls.
