‘Return to your first love’ …Michael Danso charges Christians in new song
Michael Danso on stage
Gospel artiste, Michael Danso, has urged Christians to live lives that are pleasing to God instead of glorifying worldly fantasies which could lead them astray.
According to him humankind, especially Christians, were failing to love one another as Jesus Christ instructed hence the surge in unruly behaviours in recent times.
Speaking to The Spectator ahead of the release of his new single titled ‘Odo’ (love) available on all digital music platforms today, October 15, 2022, Mr Danso contended that, some behavioural patterns in recent years had proven that many Christians were“wandering from their faith.”
That, he said, partly accounted for the lawlessness, defiance and indifferent posture some believers exhibited towards church, societal and national issues.
“It is a scary reality that many redeemed Christians have left their first love and allowed Satan to intrude and distract their Christian way of life by committing to loving other things that bring them satisfaction and inner joy.
“The period when individuals and families used to have quiet moments and blazing intimacy with God is gradually fading out and these clearly demonstrate that many redeemed souls are not satisfied in God any longer,” he observed.
He said some Christians in the name of “I know my right” had refused to stay disciplined or follow laid down procedures while others continue to fancy things that takes away them from the presence of God.
The musician, therefore, believes steps must be taken to prevent Christians from “heading towards darkness.”
“It is for this reason that God has blessed me with a timely, concise, and accurate message in ‘Odo’ (love) to admonish the children of God to return to Him,” he noted.
The song, he adds, “is a call to Christians and non-Christians to remember where they have grown cold in love for God and affection for humanity, and the need to repent and return to genuine habits.”
The ‘He Never Fails’ composer said those who loved God should follow His command, adding that God’s love was constant, therefore, those who had gone wayward could always return to Him.
“Tell Him you have grown cold, tell Him you have entertained other love. He stands ready to forgive and restore you. He is calling us to return to where we once fell,” he stated.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
