Gospel singer Esther Godwyll is of the view that worship concerts should not be seen as a form of entertainment but rather as a platform for divine transformation.

“When people attend our events, they shouldn’t just look for entertainment. They should come with open hearts, ready to absorb the positive change the lyrics can inspire,” she said.

She adds that, “The gospel was never designed for fanfare or applause but to bring comfort, warmth, and joy,” she explained while engaging Graphic ShowBiz.

Madam Godwyll emphasised that gospel songs may not aim to entertain people in the usual way that secular performers do, but the message and presence they carry can transform lives.

“While we may not entertain in the traditional sense, the light we carry has the power to brighten lives. This powerful perspective resonates deeply, inviting listeners to engage with gospel music on a spiritual level rather than a superficial one,” she added.

She cautioned fellow gospel musicians to remain grounded in their mission of transforming lives for the Kingdom of God, even as gospel music continues to expand its reach and influence.

“Gospel music is stretching its wings,” she admitted, “but with that growth comes the responsibility to keep our focus clear.”

She acknowledged that innovation is fantastic, "but we must not lose sight of our spiritual purpose,” she insisted.

“It’s not a competition. Trust me, there are many bold, talented women whom the Lord is preparing. A lot of up-and-coming female artists are building capacity, and the assignment is not to dethrone anyone but to light up more corners of the world with our message,” she concluded.

Esther Godwyll is a Ghanaian gospel vocalist who debuted with the single "Faithful God" in 2021, followed by the Ghanaian EP in 2023.

With soulful solo releases, worship collaborations, and award recognition, she continues to make her mark in spiritual music.
