On bended knee: American gospel star Kirk Franklin prays for Exodus on 15 August, 2024 in Kampala, Uganda.
Photos: Kirk Franklin prayed for Ugandan gospel musician, Exodus Thursday, during his visit to various media houses and tour centers in the central business district, Kampala.
The development comes months since Exodus reportedly renewed his commitment to God, and ministry after a lengthy struggle with mental health and temptations of substance abuse.
Kirk Franklin has sold more than 10 million gospel albums in less than 10 years. However, he recently revealed in a report by CBN News it all does not count before God.
“You know it’s all… garbage. None of that junk you can take to heaven, but I was bathing in it. And a lot of my Christian community was bathing in it with me, he said.
Kirk told the source that it is no secret several ministers of the gospel – him inclusive- have gone through various spiritual and emotional struggles due to the pressures that come with ministry.
He encourages ministers of the gospel to have a ministry they submit to, and a Christian leader who holds them accountable.
“I get evangelically ticked off by the fact that I wished somebody would have taught me a long time ago about the repercussions of sex and flesh and lust and vanity and pride and ego. I wished somebody would have been holding my little behind accountable years ago,” he said.
“My victory didn’t come by my emotional experience; my victory came through Truth. When I was taught Truth, that’s when I got my freedom,” Kirk said in a report by CBN News.
Kirk Franklin is in Uganda together with influential gospel group Maverick City Music and others, for the Kingdom World Tour concert slated for 16th August, 2024 at Makerere University Sports grounds.
