Mavis Asante: Gospel singer mounts strong defence for ‘prosperity Gospel music’

Gospel singer Mavis Asante defended the evolving themes in Gospel music, emphasizing that Gospel means "good news," which includes messages of hope, prosperity, and miracles alongside salvation.

Speaking on No.1 FM, she rejected claims that Gospel musicians had strayed from their mission, stating that the Bible addresses sin, judgment, salvation, and prosperity.

Asante argued for diversity in Gospel themes, urging listeners to demonstrate spiritual maturity and accept broader messages in music.

She noted that while believers are familiar with teachings on sin, reminders of God’s grace and promises are also essential.

Asante also highlighted the role of miracles in strengthening faith and leading people to God.

She affirmed that encouraging messages about overcoming struggles are as much "good news" as salvation itself.
