Former Hiplife icon turned preacher, Evangelist Abraham Philip Akpor Kojo, popularly known as Lord Kenya, has urged the public to be cautious about the company they keep, warning that certain friendships can lead to destruction rather than progress.
Delivering a sermon at his church, Face of Grace Covenant Temple, the evangelist reflected on his personal experiences, explaining how negative influences from friends drew him into alcohol and drug abuse during his music career.
“At first, I was taught how to drink with the explanation that even if one gets drunk, they will quickly become sober again,” he recounted.
He further revealed that his drug addiction deepened after staying with a friend who regularly used marijuana. “Then I went to stay with a friend who had marijuana at home and encouraged me to smoke as much as I could,” he said.
Evangelist Lord Kenya, who has been vocal about his past struggles with addiction, emphasized that not all friends have good intentions. “Some friends come into your life to cause your downfall, to disgrace you. They’ll introduce you to vices, and when you fail, they laugh at you,” he cautioned.
Once celebrated as one of Ghana’s most dynamic Hiplife performers, Lord Kenya has completely turned away from secular music to devote his life to Christian ministry. He now uses his life story as a powerful testimony to inspire others to overcome addiction and make positive life choices.
He continues to champion messages of moral discipline, self-control, and the importance of surrounding oneself with spiritually grounded individuals who promote growth, faith, and righteousness.
Evangelist Lord Kenya’s journey from fame to faith continues to inspire many across Ghana and beyond.
Through his ministry, he frequently speaks at youth events, rehabilitation centers, and churches, sharing his testimony of redemption and transformation. His story serves as a reminder that success and fame can quickly fade without the right spiritual foundation and supportive relationships.
By encouraging others to build healthy connections and prioritize godly living, Lord Kenya hopes to steer the younger generation away from destructive habits and toward a purposeful life rooted in faith, discipline, and the pursuit of righteousness.
