“They were bathing me…” – Empress Gifty shares her near death experience.

Renowned Ghanaian gospel singer, Empress Gifty, has shared a profound and life-changing experience that shook her to the core. She bravely recounted a time when she faced a terrifying ordeal that left her completely blind for a month, following a severe accident. This challenging chapter in her life tested her faith in ways she had never imagined. The accident not only robbed her of her sight but also rendered her incapable of walking, confining her to a wheelchair. In her darkest hour, she sought solace in unconventional methods, turning to a herbalist for relief, only to have her condition worsen after a narrowing emergency landing that sent her into total darkness.

The gradual steps into blindness, starting with blurred vision and proceeding to complete darkness upon her return home, marked a period of utter dependence on others for even the most basic tasks. Empress Gifty humbly shared how she had to rely on the kindness of others who bathed her and tended to her needs with unwavering care.“They were bathing me, taking care of me completely. It was tough,” she said.

The emotional and physical toll of her condition was immense, yet she found solace in the unwavering support of pastors who fervently prayed for her recovery. It was during this trying time that she forged a deep covenant with God, promising to dedicate her life to praise and worship if He would restore her eyesight and the ability to walk.“I told God, if you give me back my legs and my eyes, I will give you all my praise and worship. That’s why today, I go extra hard for my work with God.”

Her miraculous recovery stands as a testament to the power of faith and divine intervention. Empress Gifty’s unwavering commitment to honoring her promise is evident in her tireless dedication to her work and projects. She attributes her restoration to the merciful hand of God, recognizing His grace as the guiding force that pulled her through the darkness back into the light. “I invest heavily in my projects because I’ve seen the handwriting of God in my life. He had mercy on me and pulled me through.”

This transformative experience has not only shaped her music but also her outlook on life, inspiring her to invest wholeheartedly in her endeavors as a reflection of her gratitude for the second chance she was granted.
