Reverend Abraham Lamptey, the general overseer of the Believers’ House of Worship International, thinks that some artistic creations have a spiritual quality to them.
He claimed that certain songs could have a spiritual impact on a listener. Speaking to Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, the pastor and gospel musician said “the enemy is roaring like a lion looking for who to devour. So if you look devour-able it will devour you.”
Rev. Abraham Lamptey explained that whatever happens to the consumer of a work of art depends on how spiritually protected they are or otherwise.
“If you are vulnerable you are devour-able,” he noted.
Rev. Abraham Lamptey also stated how a Ghanaian song that had no substance in its lyrical content surprisingly became an instant hit in the country and beyond.
“I remember a song came and strangely it was all over the place. And when you listen it does make any sense. But it was all over the place. But guess what, my children will tell their friends ‘you will not sing this song in our house.’ So they know the energy that my house entertains. So you should know yourself and know that this cannot get into me,” he said.
Asked if there are songs that can get people possessed, he answered with an emphatic “yes.”
“Have you attended a rock show before? Watch it and see people being possessed by bad spirit,” he added.
