His
desire is to support young people who are addicted to the use of narcotics,
prostitution and armed robbery as well as the destitute in society to have a
new life.
“I
am the best person to talk to these people and by God’s grace they’ll listen
because they know I’ve been through that – being an addict for almost 12 years
and now here I am,” Lord Kenya told Luv Fm at a worship service to commemorate three
years of his new life in Christ dubbed “a total turnaround from ghetto to
church”.
The Ghanaian multiple award winning ‘rap
heavyweight champion’, was ‘arrested’ by the Holy Spirit three years ago as he
sought supply of drugs at his usual ‘wee’ joint.Today, he is engaged in evangelistic activities, sharing testimonies and the Gospel of Christ in churches and schools across the country, with the aim of drawing people closer to God.
The ‘born-again’ Lord Kenya describes his
encounter with Christ as “awesome” and wants to move beyond testimonies to lend
a hand to help others come out of addiction.
“From
where I’m coming from, I know some of them will love to come out of the
addiction but they don’t have the will power. I know God in His own wisdom will
take them out, but once they’re out, they need to be occupied; this is what I have
in mind to have the rehabilitation center and be able to impart what God has
done for me,” he stated.
Scores
of people, mostly students from second-cycle schools thronged the auditorium of
the Kumasi Technical Institute to join Lord Kenya celebrate his third
anniversary in Christ.
Ministers
included Pastor Joe Bechem, Moses OK, Agnes Opoku Agyemang, Prophet Seth
Frimpong, Bro. Jackson and Agape Incorporated.
“Out
of my mysteries, God has given me a ministry… we thank God for how far He has
brought us and I know this is just the beginning,” Lord exclaimed.
