Renowned Ghanaian gospel singer, Empress Gifty, has opened up about a life-altering experience where she went completely blind for a month following a severe accident.
Describing it as the most difficult challenge she has ever faced, Empress Gifty said the ordeal tested her faith like nothing else.
Recounting the incident in an interview on Accra FM, she explained that the accident left her unable to walk, forcing her to use a wheelchair.
In her desperation, her sister introduced her to a herbalist, hoping for some relief. However, things took a turn for the worse when, after her plane had an emergency landing, she completely lost her sight.
According to her, it started with blurred vision and by the time she returned home, everything had gone dark, causing her to be blind for about an entire month.
During that period, Empress Gifty revealed how she became fully dependent on others for her basic needs.
“They were bathing me, taking care of me completely. It was tough,” she said, adding that pastors came regularly to pray for her recovery.
Empress Gifty further shared how she made a covenant with God during this difficult time.
“I told God, if you give me back my legs and my eyes, I will give you all my praise and worship. That’s why today, I go extra hard for my work with God.”
She believes her recovery was nothing short of a miracle and remains committed to her promise to God.
“I invest heavily in my projects because I’ve seen the handwriting of God in my life. He had mercy on me and pulled me through.”
