Those who take selfies during worship are cursed – Ohemaa Mercy

Gospel Artiste Ohemaa Mercy Speaks Out Against Phone Selfies During Worship

In a recent interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM, the talented gospel musician Ohemaa Mercy voiced her strong stance against a growing trend that has caught her attention – people capturing selfies on their phones during worship services. In no uncertain terms, she expressed her concern, going as far as to say that those who engage in this practice are “cursed.”

Ohemaa Mercy believes that taking selfies in the midst of a religious gathering is not only disrespectful but also a sign of irreverence towards God. In her view, this act detracts from the solemnity and sanctity of worship, with the smartphone-wielding participants more focused on themselves than on the divine presence.

The artiste’s remarks have ignited discussions on the intersection of technology, spirituality, and etiquette in today’s digital age. Many have questioned whether taking selfies during worship truly reflects a lack of reverence or if it’s simply a sign of the times, where sharing one’s spiritual journey has become intertwined with the culture of sharing.

It’s evident that Ohemaa Mercy’s perspective is rooted in her deep respect for religious traditions and her unwavering commitment to upholding the sanctity of worship. As technology continues to shape our lives, the debate surrounding the appropriateness of smartphone usage in sacred spaces like churches remains ongoing, highlighting the evolving dynamics of faith and modernity.
