Gospel musician Brother Sammy has said that the low patronage of gospel music in recent times is because many gospel musicians do not fear God.
Brother Sammy in an interview with GNA Entertainment said that things have changed in recent times because the new generation is not God fearing, especially with the gradual departure of many veteran gospel musicians.
According to the musician, veteran gospel musicians such as Cindy Thompson, Esther Smith, Yaw Sarpong, among others, were revered because they were God-fearing and that made them excel in their respective careers and ministries.
“The reason gospel music flourished in the past is that people had the fear of God in them. These days there is none of that.
“Most of the gospel musicians in recent times are often put off by some people in the world and are not strong enough to withstand criticism, especially with the advent of social media.”
He added that being a gospel musician is now more challenging than before because he faces many temptations ranging from the ungodly lifestyle of some believers and the desire for material wealth.
The musician explained that being a gospel artist is not about the material things one possesses, but about praising God through music.
He added that some “gospel musicians in modern times are still doing their best to maintain the spirit of worship through their songs as they spend more money on promotion regardless of whether they can recoup their investment or not.”
