What was intended as a simple interview about the success of her 2024 Tehilah Experience quickly exploded on social media when issues related to her divorce were disclosed.
The aftermath of Ohemaa Mercy’s interview with TV3’s CookieTee unearthed various reactions and discussions.
Ohemaa Mercy revealed that she was guided by God to seek a divorce to fully dedicate herself to her ministry.
She stated without mincing words: “I remember when I was going through divorce. During COVID-19, I relied solely on God for direction, having a strong covenant with Him. I would go to the mountains to pray for three months, seeking divine guidance on what was happening around me.
“When I heard God's clear direction, I took that bold step. I had confirmation from God; if I hadn't, I wouldn’t have done it. I give God the glory because, even though I am divorced, I have seen His hand on my life more strongly than when I was married."
But in a society where divorce is frowned upon, particularly for Christians, Ohemaa Mercy’s statement ignited confusion.
Let's look at the events that followed Ohemaa Mercy’s disclosure of her divorce:
Massive criticism, particularly from colleagues like Brother Sammy
Ohemaa Mercy’s revelation led to an intense backlash, with critics questioning her claims.
