Only Jesus Is A Standard of Measurement - Celestine Donkor

Celestine Donkor has emphatically stated that Ghanaians should not use the lives of gospel artistes as a standard of righteous living.

The multiple awards winner maintained that only Jesus should be used as a yardstick for measurements and it is only He that Ghanaians should look to.

“I think that only Jesus Christ is the standard of measurement when it comes to righteous living. Jesus Christ alone is the one that can be our perfect example just like Paul said in the Bible,” She said.

This she said in defense of the staunch criticism that Ghanaian gospel artistes have been receiving over the personal lives that they lead.

When she was asked to speak on issues concerning the lifestyle and moral standard of gospel artistes in an exclusive interview with Amansan Krakye on Kastle FM she proposed that Christians should instead pray for artistes instead of condemning them.

“What I would say about the lifestyle issue concerning gospel artistes is that I would plead with listeners that when they go on their knees to pray they should remember Ghanaian gospel musicians. We shouldn’t be Christians that when we hear negative issues about gospel artistes then we also join in making a

mockery of them.”

She opined that she’s personally not happy with negative stories emanating from the camp of gospel artistes in Ghana in recent times but called for prayers to help them live a morally upright life.
“I’m personally not happy with recent happenings in the gospel music fraternity. And I’m sure that nobody that has the spirit of God in them will rejoice over negative stories from gospel artistes in Ghana,”

“So prayer can solve all issues and if you believe your prayers can help gospel musicians to live a morally upright life that will bring honour and glory to the name of God, I challenge you to support us in prayer when you go on your knees,” she told the host.
