Celestine Donkor Sorry For Comment On Nathaniel Bassey Prophecy

Gospel musician, Celestine Donkor has issued an unreserved apology for saying Nathaniel Bassey’s prophetic word to Ghanaian gospel artistes was inspired by guilt.

Her comment yesterday sparked criticisms from persons who felt she had disrespected the Nigerian gospel legend and denigrated the gift of prophecy by the statement.

According to her, her statement doesn’t reflect her intention as it only came due to the “heat of the moment”.

“I would like to sincerely say that I do believe in prophetic utterances and do respect and honour Nathaniel Bassey. I apologise to all who find my comment on the issue in bad taste. That was not my intention at all. I will never disrespect the man of God.”

She takes the public backlash for a feedback.

A prophecy and counsel by Bassey on Sunday, December 3 during the Jesus Christ Encounter event held at the Accra Sports Stadium directed Ghanaian gospel musicians to consider using the English Language for their songs.

He noted that dialect in Ministry was important as it would enable them to break bounds to reach the rest of the world.

The statement has since sparked an argument in Ghana. Celestine deemed the prophecy was inspired by guilt since the concert staged was organized by Nigerians with a only handful of Ghanaian artistes.

“For me, I think this prophecy was inspired by guilt. It was inspired by guilt because you host a concert in somebody’s country, {and} you put only two of their celebrated artistes on their concert. And because you are feeling guilty about the whole thing clashing with some concerts that are already going on, you prophesy that our time will come,” she said during an X Space on December 7.
