Celebrated Ghanaian gospel musician Minister OJ, known in real life as Michael Oware Sakyi, has shared the touching story of how he met his wife, during an exclusive interview on Okay 101.7 FM ‘Ekwanso Dwoodwoo’ show hosted by Nana Romeo.
The soul-stirring gospel minister, famous for timeless songs like Onipa Hia Mmoa and Etes3n, opened up about his love journey, revealing that meeting his wife was a divine arrangement and one of the most peaceful decisions he ever made.
According to Minister OJ, their first encounter was not planned, but it was spiritually significant. He said they met through a mutual connection through phone call, and what started as a casual conversation grew into something meaningful over time.
“I didn’t meet my wife in church or at a crusade as many would expect. We met through phone call, and our first conversation was just natural. But as we spoke more and got to know each other, I realized she was everything I had been praying for,” he told Nana Romeo.
OJ emphasized that he took his time to observe her character, especially how she responded to spiritual matters and how she handled pressure and fame. He also mentioned that his wife was never impressed by his fame, but rather drawn to his passion for ministry.
“One thing that struck me was her humility. She wasn’t carried away by my popularity. Instead, she always challenged me to stay grounded and true to my calling,” he added.
Minister OJ used the opportunity to advise the youth and upcoming gospel artists not to rush into marriage based on emotions or fame. He stressed the importance of prayer, patience, and choosing a partner who understands one’s purpose.
“Marry someone who respects your assignment. Love is not enough—purpose and support matter too,” he advised.
The inspiring interview has sparked positive reactions across social media, with fans praising Minister OJ for his honesty and wisdom in handling his personal life with discretion and faith.
As Minister OJ continues to minister through music and impact lives across the world, his story remains a powerful reminder that love, when led by God, always finds its way.
