Ghanaian gospel singer and songwriter, Esther Gyimah Tetteh has issued a word of caution to her fellow Christians who live the opposite of what they preach to people. In one of her post sighted by Hypesmediagh.com on Facebook, the songstress who seems not to be happy with the way Christians live their lives expressed her concern about the issue and however advised all Christians to live the life they preach to people.
According to Esther, selling one product and actively promoting a similar, but totally different brand affects the purchase of the product on sale. She thinks Christians such is the case of servants of the gospel who market secular music during special occasions.
Music Director leading the church in praise and worship cannot tell the choir to listen to and play gospel music to edify their spirits for ministry and yet pay a DJ to play music he claims he does not subscribe to at his wedding reception, she said.

Do you know that selling one product and actively promoting a similar, but totally different brand affects the purchase of the product on sale?
Such is the case of servants of the gospel who market secular music during special occasions.
Mr. Music Director, you have been leading the church in praise and worship. In fact, you tell the choir to listen to and play gospel music to edify their spirits for ministry. Yet, you paid a DJ to play music you claim you don’t subscribe to at your wedding reception. Your dance meant it was no coincidence, sir.
Lady usher, if you pay your caterer to deliver jollof rice at your baby dedication event, you will not accept koko and koose. You are paying the caterer. You insist on what you paid for, right?
It is tiring to hear that DJs choose the type of music played at Christian gatherings and you have no control. How?
Please tell the DJ to play upbeat gospel music (the type you can dance to) for you and your guests. There are just too many danceable gospel tunes for any DJ worth their salt to deny you this request.
Please let us practice what we preach in church and out of church. It leaves a sour taste in the mouth when we cannot project the gospel during important events of our lives.
