7 Gospel celebrities who are mothers
1. Diana Hamilton
I’m gonna be real with you! Women, we go through a lot. The saddest part of it all is that some women find joy in tearing other women down. They will go to any length to make other women’s lives miserable. Mockery and gossip are their hallmark.
“Oh! You see that sister over there? I heard that she’s barren.”
“That woman there, at the corner, is selfish. She’s been married for 6 years and hasn’t given her husband a child. She’s so focused on her job and cares a lot about wearing high heels.”
Sometimes it’s just heartbreaking to hear some things that Christian women say. The same people who are supposed to encourage these women who may be enduring overwhelming challenges, and are doing everything to conceive.
Oh, may God forgive us all!
Diana Hamilton, such a strong woman, has had her fair share of this predicament. People were giving her unsolicited advice on what could be the reason for her not conceiving.
Some people said that wearing high heels would push her womb farther and that it was better for her to stop wearing them for a while.
Diana has shared her emotional journey to motherhood.
“I cried every month over childbirth challenges.”
Now, our faithful God, who sees what’s done in secret, heard her cry and blessed her with twins. She’s now called ‘Ataa Maame’ (mother of twins).
She balances her music career and family life with grace. This is indeed the doing of the Lord.
2. Sunmisola Agbebi
“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.”- Psalm 95: 1-2
Surely, our God delights in worship. Sunmisola, a bright young woman with a melodious voice that stirs our hearts to worship. A voice that can calm the ‘raging waters’ of the heart. Have you heard this woman of God worship? My God! It’s powerful!
Knowing that such an anointed singer, and now a mother, is also navigating motherhood and balancing her work-life is thriling.
A mother of worship has given birth to a child of prayer!
Sunmisola Agbebi, embracing motherhood, shared her joy on social media, noting,
“We entered 2024 as 2 and now are entering 2025 as 3.”
She continues to inspire many with her music and journey into motherhood.
Nobody tells you Pregnancy is difficult
Nobody tells you pregnancy is difficult or that childbirth is painful and life-threatening.
Who am I kidding? They do tell. Maybe not explicitly? Just with their beautiful baby bump photoshoot, and lovely videos of their newborns. Aww, you get baby fever just by watching these photos and videos.
Before you know it, you’re yearning to have your own baby. Then you pray to God to bless you with a child. Fast forward, you get pregnant and you realise that the pregnancy journey is not as smooth as they make it seems.
Now, you’re praying earnestly that God takes you through this journey. To top it all, you go through labor, and as you push forth your baby, you’re praying that God keeps you and the baby alive.
And when you’re out of labor, alive with your baby, you thank God for your life. Finally, everything must be over now, you say. Then, bam! You’re hit with postpartum.
You realise that the pregnancy journey might not even be the hardest part. A lot happens during postpartum. You could be depressed, or experience some complications from childbirth (whether vagina birth or C-section).
Here’s the truth, though, sometimes, these complications you go through can stick with you for a lifetime. Motherhood isn’t easy.
This experience is all too familiar to Ghanaian gospel singer, Ohemaa Mercy. She has shared insights on how she manages motherhood alongside her ministry.
3.Ohemaa Mercy
Ohemaa Mercy recounted a life-threatening childbirth experience, describing it as a painful ordeal. She went through labor for three days, but the baby would not come. Her doctors intervened by performing an emergency C-section to save her and the baby.
Even after that, her surgical stitches were removed from her wound. She had to undergo surgery again to close the wound.
Despite these challenges, she inspires many through her music and personal stories.
4. Tasha Cobbs Leonard
Let me say that God is good. Sometimes, we don’t understand him or his works. But he’s good. It might take a while to understand why he allows us to go through tests and trials, or maybe we might not understand it at all, but all I know is that he’s good and knows what’s best for us.
Imagine being a woman who sings about faith, God’s goodness, and his amazing miracles, yet you don’t seem to get the one miracle you want from God.
Again, imagine being married to a man who already has children, you enjoy being a mother to them, but you can’t have your own baby.
That was Tasha’s life. Tasha Cobbs tried everything, but she couldn’t have a baby. She has opened up about her struggles with infertility and the emotional toll it took on her. Tasha has been candid about her journey to motherhood.
She and her husband adopted a son, and now she’s also a mother. Who said there’s only one way to become a mother? When one door closes, another opens. God knows how and when to give you exactly what you need.
Tasha Cobbs continues to minister powerfully through her music. She’s rocking this motherhood journey so smoothly.
5. Celestine Donkor
This powerful minister will make you fall in love with the Ewe language. She’s creative and knows how to draw you into the music. Celestine Donkor, being a mom, understands very well the difficulties it brings when balancing being a mom with your music career. It’s not easy.
As a matter of fact, nobody will wait for you to go through the tough stage of being a mom and come back later to pick up your music career. It’s not going to be the same. You might lose your fun base.
Celestine has shared how she juggles work and being a mother. She has revealed that it’s a bit easier since her children are a bit old to do certain things for themselves.
Nonetheless, they hire a babysitter to take care of the children when her husband, who’s also her manager, and she travel to pursue her music career.
Her story serves as an inspiration to many women striving to balance multiple roles.
6. Tope Alabi
Tope Alabi has spoken about how her upbringing has influenced her path to motherhood. She revealed that her mother was scrupulous, always checking her virginity every three months until she got married.
As much as this may sound ridiculous to you, my mother used to do the same thing to me. Just that she stopped way before I got married. Knowing my mother, I’m sure she meant well for me, and so did Tope’s mother, too.
Tope Alabi has mentioned that this strict upbringing instilled in her a strong sense of discipline, which she carries into her music and family life. She disclosed that she has fostered a bond with her children, and now instills values into her children in her own way.
It’s amazing how your upbringing can influence the way you become a mother to your children.
7. Mercy Chinwo
When I think of Mercy Chinwo, her song ‘Wonder’ comes to mind.
You dey do wonder eh
You dey do wonder eh
You turned my life around
Gave me a brand new song
You dey do Wonder eh
Come and see me dancing to this tune! Yes, Jesus dey do wonder. Pregnancy is a miracle, and motherhood is a wonder.
Mercy Chinwo, now a mother, talked about how motherhood transformed her view of ministry:
“You begin to see how much more God loves us when you have a child of your own.”
Balancing tours and new motherhood, she continues to deliver heartfelt worship.
