Celestine Donkor, a Ghanaian gospel musician, has disclosed that she and her family were subjected to a spiritual attack thought to be carried out via black magic. Ghana Travel Guide The Agbeboloo singer said she and her spouse were taken aback after hearing distressing news from the attendant of a studio they operate together.
According to her, the attendant discovered 21 white eggs and a calabash packed with grains (beans, rice, millet, maize, and groundnuts) left suspiciously at the studio entrance. “My husband and I own a photography and rehearsal studio. We received a call from the studio attendant one morning in February last year, only to be informed that someone had arrived to place 21 white eggs in a calabash loaded with grains (beans, rice, millet, maize, and groundnuts). “The calabash had a white cloth lining and a piece of paper with our names on it,” she explained. Celestine described how the calabash was lined with a white fabric and held a folded paper with their family names printed on it.
The discovery, she claimed, left them greatly disturbed. She stated that the incident happened early on a Friday morning, which she considers significant because her husband was born on a Friday. “Guess what, it was dropped in the early hours of a Friday, knowing that my husband is a Friday-born,” she told me. Following the incident, Celestine and her husband sought heavenly protection via prayer, combining with their prayer partners to intercede.
She said the event inspired her gospel song I Carry Fire, which is based on Isaiah 54:17 and Isaiah 7:7. “We began praying with our prayer partners. We used Isaiah 54:17 and Isaiah 7:7, from which I got the song ‘I Carry Fire,'” she explained. Celestine, who released I Carry Fire ahead of her ninth studio album, also disclosed that some sources later believed the black magic was linked to someone in the gospel music industry.
“We were told from multiple sources that it was coming from someone in our industry,” according to her. The song has subsequently become popular among gospel music fans, winning praise for its powerful message of trust and heavenly protection.
