Prophet Atarah
Ghana’s ‘Singing-Prophet’, Joseph Atarah, is preaching a message of hope in his new song dubbed, “Believe”.
The song produced by renowned sound engineer Kaywa is full of hope and motivation for the oppressed.
According to the leader of Believers Grace Crown Ministry International, Prophet Joseph Atarah, the song was to encourage music lovers to keep faith in God regardless of their circumstances.
He said at times, life can get so tough to the extent that believers lose hope in God because of such situations.
However, Prophet Atarah said these difficult moments were only to test the faith of people.
“If they withstand these challenges, things would turn around for them.”
He said that with a strong belief and steadfast fasting, everything would be possible in life.
The award winning gospel musician urged music lovers to share the message in the song with others.
