Although her Christian faith forbids divorce, well-known gospel singer Ohemaa Mercy has stirred controversy by claiming to have received divine confirmation prior to divorcing her spouse.
In a recent TV3 interview, Ohemaa—who had previously remained silent regarding her marital difficulties and eventual divorce—seemed to break her “silence” when she discussed seeking God’s face during her marital crisis and receiving clear guidance from God to move forward with her now-ex-husband’s divorce.
The singer of Ote Me Mu claims that she would never have made such a choice if she hadn’t received divine approval, as she spent three months fasting and praying atop a mountain in order to receive direction from God over her future course of action regarding marriage.
“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 said.
The Tehillah Experience this year was successfully held on Sunday, September 8, by Ohemaa Mercy. She also disclosed that she had a discussion with her husband, who not only supported her choice but also urged her to completely submit to God’s direction and blessings in her life, especially in her ministry.
“When I spoke to my partner too, he understood that we needed to take a break and pray and see what the Lord will do. I told him, ‘I really want us to take a break and move the Ministry, which I know is your passion for me. Let me run with it, let’s take of the kids and support each other. If I’m going through something, we talk about it. I don’t want to fail God because I feel I’m failing God’”, she stated.
