\"Selina <\/a>Selina Boateng is a Ghanaian Gospel singer<\/p>\n

Gospel singer Selina Boateng has stated that a broken marriage should never be seen as something that distorts one\u2019s calling. <\/p>\n

She has urged the public to stop judging gospel musicians and ministers based on their personal struggles. <\/p>\n

In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Selina, who has openly admitted to facing marital challenges, said it is unfair to criticize gospel artistes over divorce, emphasizing that marital issues are personal and do not affect a person\u2019s ability to serve God. <\/p>\n

‘I am divorced’ \u2013 Gospel Musician Selina Boateng discloses<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cDivorce comes with a lot of issues but I can say boldly that it doesn\u2019t affect our ministry because we are human beings working for God. We are not perfect. The focus is on making an impact on people\u2019s lives. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no way Gospel musicians cannot minister to people just because they have a broken home. So are they telling me all those who have failed marriages are not going to heaven? It\u2019s not in the Bible that when your marriage ends, you won\u2019t make heaven,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

I pray over everything, except sex – Selina Boateng<\/a><\/p>\n

Selina expressed concern over how quickly society mocks or condemns those going through divorce, rather than offering them support. <\/p>\n

She pointed out that divorce is often beyond an individual\u2019s control and frequently leaves emotional and psychological scars, yet people still choose to judge. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo one has the right to judge. Even the Bible frowns on that so why judge people when they are going through a marriage crisis? You don\u2019t know what triggered the problems they are going through. <\/p>\n

\u201cDivorce is often beyond an individual\u2019s control and can have devastating, emotional and psychological effects, yet society chooses to mock and criticise instead of being supportive,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

The Gospel singer also urged the public to show compassion to gospel musicians or anyone else experiencing marital breakdown. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s rather unfortunate this generation doesn\u2019t know how to support a brother or sister who is not in a good place. You see, society does not have to bash somebody because it presumes the person is a sinner. Are you trying to draw him closer to God or are you pushing that person away? Pray for the one so that God will strengthen the person,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
