Renowned Ghanaian gospel singer, Ohemaa Mercy, has revealed the spiritual guidance behind her decision to divorce in an interview on Accra-based TV3.
Ohemaa Mercy explained that she sought direction from the Holy Spirit through months of prayer, seeking clarity from God before receiving confirmation to proceed with the divorce. Her primary reason for ending her marriage was to dedicate herself entirely to her ministry and honor God.
“I remember during my divorce process, especially during COVID-19, I depended solely on God for direction. I had a strong covenant with Him, spending three months in the mountains praying. I truly wanted to hear God’s voice about my situation, and once I received that confirmation, I made the bold decision. Without that, I wouldn’t have gone through with it,” she recounted.
Ohemaa Mercy expressed her gratitude to God, stating, “I give God the glory because, even though I am divorced, I’ve never felt God’s presence more strongly in my life than I do now.”
The singer also disclosed that her husband supported her decision, allowing her to fully experience God’s guidance. “My partner understood that we needed to go in this direction. We mutually agreed to take a break and continue supporting each other and our children. If I face any challenges, we talk and address them together. My focus is to honor God, and that’s why we chose this path,” she explained.
Despite their separation, Ohemaa Mercy emphasized that she and her ex-husband maintain a close, supportive relationship. “We still talk every day and continue to support each other,” she said.
