Cindy Thompson, popular veteran gospel musician has advised gospel music lovers to be wary of some gospel artists. The singer suggested, not everyone singing gospel songs is actually doing the work of God.
Cindy shared these thoughts in an interview on the subject of fake gospel artists.
Speaking in the interview, she said, “The fact that people tell you, you have a nice voice doesn’t mean you are called by God. You may have the gift which comes to everyone in different ways but God should direct you as to what you have to do with it and how to use it,” she said.
Further driving home her point, she said, “I believe this so very much because I recall I had an event in Holland and before my performance, a choir came to sing very beautifully.”
After the show, we had to go and grab something to eat and to my surprise I saw the choristers taking their robes off, pulling out cigarettes and alcohol and I was shocked.”
“I went to ask them if they knew what they were doing was wrong and to my amazement, they answered that they were not Christians but only singers.
Some said they sang because they have the voice and people encouraged them to join the choir but they were not believers of the things of God or Christians.”
“I had another experience in Benin as well so yes it is not every Gospel artiste that is called by God,” she concluded.
She explained that real gospel artists are people who understand the kind of work they do. Cindy says, these are people who continuously seek the face of God before they take any step.
In her words, “Anyone who is called by God understands the ministry he or she is in. Whatever step one takes, one asks God for guidance; one waits for Him to speak before one acts.”
