Gospel music trio, Daughters of Glorious Jesus, have recounted deep secrets behind the recording of their song, 'Onokwafo Nyame'.

In an interview with Roselyn Felli on Prime Morning on Joy Prime, they narrated that their lead singer, Cynthia Agyare Appiadu, nearly drowned in the Black Volta river in the Northern Region while working on a project within the area.

Reminiscing the occurrence, Mrs. Appiadu said that they travelled to the northern part of the country to spread the gospel. At a point on the journey, they needed to cross the Black Volta.

According to her, the canoe in which they sat sank, and everybody fell into the river. All other individuals except her were saved by the people around the site, and she almost died.

“I’ve heard that if a person would be drowned in a river, it will roll you up and down three times, but it rolled me five times. While I was there, I was just praying to God that, Father, You did not bring me here to kill me. I came here purposely for your work and so save my life. Then I heard people talking, and so the last time I came out, they had surrounded me with canoes and asked me to touch one of them. I touched it, and by the grace of God, they brought me out,” she narrated.

This amazed the chief of the town, as such a thing has never occurred in the community. He requested to know how she was saved, but they told him, “We don’t have any ‘juju’ but we have Jesus Christ because He saved us. That was how I wrote ‘Onokwafo Nyame’.”

From there, Mr. Appiadu vowed to do something significant for God if she would still be alive at age 50. Fast forward: she started a church building project and a transformation centre for orphans when she turned 50 years old, which are currently ongoing.

The music trio also revealed how they have emerged victorious and stronger regardless of the numerous challenges they have faced throughout their music journey.

As part of their gratitude to God, the sisters are set to hold the 2024 edition of their concert, dubbed Glorious Praise. The concert will commence from March 24 to April 14 and will take place in Accra, Kwahu, and Kumasi. Tickets are, however, yet to be released for purchase but will be announced when they are ready.
