How many of you remember Lord Kenya? Yes, the “Sikaba” hitmaker. Well, a photo of Lord Kenya (known in real life as Abraham Philip Akpor Kojo Kenya) has surfaced online.
The rapper before his conversion to Christianity and becoming an evangelist etched his name in the annals of Ghana music as one of the finest Ghanaian rappers of all time.
Speaking about how and why he decided to become a man of God, Lord Kenya told Graphic Showbiz back in 2018 how God revealed himself to him.
“I have been a born again Christian for four years now. I had a revelation in my third year that by my fifth anniversary in the Lord, I would be head pastor of a church. I’m waiting on the Lord to fulfil his promise to me.
“I need a place where the people I reach out to such as the drug addicts, prisoners and others, can come to listen to the ministry of God” he said.
“My friends and people close to me initially doubted I was telling the truth when I announced four years ago that I had received a calling from God and had become a born-again Christian”, he said.
According to Lord Kenya, many people thought he was just going through a phase of his life and his conversion was going to be short-lived.
“It’s not difficult to see why they thought I would not last as a Christian. Looking at the life I was living previously, I think they were justified to believe my calling was just a flash in the pan. That is the system of the world so I was not surprised at all” he said.
