Gospel singer Ohemaa Mercy has talked about the difficulties she had in her early years before becoming well-known.
Before her “Bethel Experience,” the singer told Cookie Tee in an interview how, when she was a teacher a few years ago, she couldn’t pay her debts and would have strangers come into her room and steal her television sets.
The singer of “Edin Jesus” claimed that she was humiliated by her situation and that life was so terrible that she had shut herself in her room for three days on many occasions.
Even though Ohemaa Mercy was devoted to church activities and made sacrifices for God’s purpose, she expressed confusion over why God would permit her to experience such trying times.
She claimed that after giving birth to her first kid, she eventually found herself a “hospital prisoner” because her church was unable to help her with the cost of her hospital stays.
Ohemaa Mercy claimed she wanted to end it all and “took a knife to kill herself,” distraught and “disappointed” by God.
“I gave up, I stopped singing in church and didn’t want to hear anything about music because I was going through a lot and I felt at a point God has disappointed me because of my commitment and sacrificies.

“Sometimes, I would go to my mum for help and she would look at me and say I’m really disappointed and I have to walk miles to the house. I remember I was so pregnant with my first born and I have to go to my mum for food for one week. I could not face the world.
“I have to even take knife to kill myself because I felt at this point, there won’t be any good,” she said on Today’s Woman, September 6.
