As she girds up for the 10th of her Celestial Praiz concert, Celestine Donkor has acknowledged the challenges she went through to organise the programme during its developing stage. 

On Joy FM’s Drive Time with Lexis Bill, the ‘Agbeboloo’ singer said she started Celestial Praiz when she had no hit songs. 

“We never see how the vision will go. But for me I only trust and obey and I move and God has been faithful for me. 

“It looked so impossible. When we had the idea, that was my fear. I didn’t have any hit songs.

“Because for an artiste, if you are staging a concert, you would want to sing songs that the people will be able to sing along with you and enjoy the moment together.

“The only I had at the time was ‘Supernatural’ and it wasn’t even that out there so it was a fear,” she said. 

She said she was worried that she could not get a big song that would shoot her into the public space.

According her, she had difficulty in writing songs until God appeared to her in a dream one day. 

“I used to struggle to write songs. It was a prayer topic. First on my list. I used to pray about it. I remember I used to wait on the Lord for it.

“After ‘Supernatural’, and at the time I was doing featured works for other artistes, it comes out and it’s a hit and I am not able to come out with that song that will give me that attention that my ministry deserves so it was a need at the time but the Lord visited me in a special way.

I had a dream and I saw myself on a very big field. And I was with someone. I believe it was God. I couldn’t see him but I could hear his voice,” Celestine narrated.

She said God told her to look at the flowers on the field and when she did, she could hear they were all making sounds. And then the angel [God] told her to “go and sing.”

Celestine recounted that after that encounter, her spirit has always overflowed with songs.

The 2020 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Female Vocal Performance winner has produced hit songs such as  ‘Adekye Mu Nsem’, ‘Turning Around’, ‘Only You’, ‘Testimony’, ‘Bigger’, ‘Praise Him’, among others. 

She is currently out with her 8th album titled ‘Final Say.’

At the moment, she is preparing to hold the 10th edition of her annual concert Celestial Praiz on 6th March, 2023 at the Dominion Sanctuary Victory Bible Church, Awoshie.
