When men call upon heavens...

The National Theatre was Sunday turned into a Cathedral of praise and worship in year seven of Men Worship - an all men choir - with the sole objective of lifting the souls of Ghanaians to the maker.

It was meant to be a befitting treat to men to crown a special occasion - ‘Fathers Day’ - which has for most part world been misunderstood or relegated to the background and the Men Worship did not disappoint.

Reminiscent of the Day of Pentecost, Men Worship, with their soul lifting serenades, turned their patrons, most of whom were women, into disciples arrested by the Holy Spirit.

They surrendered; with their knees firmly on the ground, their hands lifted high up into the roof, talking, praying, and singing all in worship of the Lord God Almighty.

And when Francis took over in praises; his dances; the Cathedral shook, reverberated the sounds of Biblical Jericho. Only this time the walls of National Theatre remained intact.

Uncle Ato was superb in his appellations. He called upon the heavens and gave it its rightful place among the living. Among men.

So engrossing was the encounter that patrons remained seated even when the show had come to an end. They wanted more.

In a new and fresh breath to Men Worship, this year’s event was carried live on The Jesus Channel (TJC) on Multi TV.

Chief Operations Officer of MultiTV, Ken Ashigbey, who himself was carried away by the spirit and did not spare a dance, told patrons; the TJC has come at an opportune time when social and cultural values are being threatened by modernity and materialism.

He said the channel is to help support family values and inculcate in Ghanaians the tenets of Christianity.

A lead vocalist of Men Worship, Israel told Myjoyonline.com they were overwhelmed by the attendance and the performance.

He said the dream for Men Worship is to be able to raise at least 500 members who will at all times sing to the glory of God.
