Esther Smith, widely regarded as the greatest of all time (GOAT) in Ghanaian gospel music, has shared the secrets behind her lasting relevance in the industry.
In a recent interview on Oyerepa Entertainment Review, Smith emphasized the crucial role of obedience and holiness in her career.
“Obedience and holiness have brought me this far. Gospel music is a calling, not just a career. If you don’t recognize that, you’ll prioritize your own desires. But in this spiritual work, you can’t live life on your own terms and expect success.”
Smith believes that gospel music is a spiritual calling, requiring a deep personal connection with God.
“A personal encounter with God is crucial… As you draw closer to your Maker, He infuses your songs with anointing, and when you release them, they become instant hits.” Esther Smith disclosed.
The “Oyame Banbo” hitmaker stressed that artists cannot live life on their own terms and expect divine success.Instead, they must prioritize their private encounter with God, allowing Him to fill their songs with anointing.
Smith humbly acknowledged that there are musicians with better voices than hers, but attributed her success to God’s anointing.
She emphasized that God’s ways are rooted in principles and commandments, requiring artists to adhere to His ways to experience success.
“While many musicians have more talented voices than mine, God anoints my songs, making them pleasing to the ears of others. God’s ways are rooted in principles and commandments – when you follow His ways, He responds with blessings.”
