Ghanaian gospel singer Emmanuel Abbey has unveiled his latest single titled “Botrobodwo,” which translates to “Lukewarm” from his native Twi language. Released on October 3rd, the song sees Abbey using his soulful voice and culturally resonant music to address the issue of passive faith.
Through “Botrobodwo,” Emmanuel Abbey aims to highlight the dangers of lukewarmness in the Christian walk. Lyrics communicate that a casual attitude towards one’s relationship with God is ineffective and even displeasing to the Lord.
“If we decide to serve God, we must serve Him with all our hearts. We cannot serve God by being lukewarm. Revelation 3:15-16 says, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” Botrobodwo admonishes us to serve God wholeheartedly so that we will inherit the kingdom of God.” – Emmanuel added
This continues Emmanuel Abbey’s trademark sound, which blends contemporary gospel sensibilities with local Ghanaian musical elements. The musician skillfully uses his native language and cultural rhythms to convey universal biblical truths in a relatable way.
Earlier this year, Abbey released the hit single “I Cannot Fail” which contains the truth of our stand in Christ as believers. As one of the country’s rising young gospel talents, he continues bringing timely messages in creative ways.
With “Botrobodwo,” Emmanuel Abbey sounds a thoughtful spiritual message through the power of song. It highlights the importance of staying actively engaged in one’s walk of faith rather than becoming complacent.
