Ghanaian gospel singer, Ohemaa Mercy, has revealed an intriguing reason for her divorce. This follows years of marriage to her ex-husband, which ended under circumstances that surprised a lot of people.
Speaking in an interview with Cookie Tee on TV3 on Saturday ahead of her ‘Bethel Experience’ concert, she revealed that she sought guidance from the Holy Spirit as to whether she was pursuing the right path to divorce her husband because she requested for divorce.
According to her, she spent months praying until she received a confirmation from God to go ahead with the divorce. Her purpose for the divorce was to allow her focus fully on her ministry and honour God.
“I remember when I was going through divorce. During COVID-19, I depended solely on God for direction, I had a strong covenant with him. I will go to the mountains to pray for three months and I really wanted to hear what the lord will tell me about what is going on around me. So, when I heard it clearly, I took that bold step. I had the confirmation from God, If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have done it.
“I give God the glory because I am divorced but this is the time I have seen the hand of God so strong on my life, even more than when I was married,” she stated on Today’s Woman.
Ohemaa Mercy also explained that her husband agreed to the decision and also to allow her fully experience God’s guidance and blessing in her life.
“My partner understood that we had to do things that way. I told him we needed a break and he totally understood. We agreed to support each other and take care of the kids. If I’m facing challenges, we discuss them. My priority is to honour God and that’s why we decided on this path,” she added.
The singer also mentioned that she still maintains a cordial relationship with her ex-husband as they “talk every day and we continue to support each other.”
