Renowned gospel singer, Frank Edwards, has shared a remarkable story about how his mother once intervened to stop him from signing a lucrative $320,000 deal that would have given a group control over his entire music catalogue.
In a heartfelt social media post, Edwards recalled how his mother’s intuition led her to prevent him from finalizing the agreement. At the time, he admitted, he did not fully understand her reasoning, but looking back, he now appreciates her wisdom and foresight.
A Mother’s Discernment and Sacrifice
Edwards revealed that his mother took drastic measures to ensure he did not proceed with the deal. She not only warned him against signing the contract but also went as far as confiscating his international passport to prevent him from traveling to finalize the agreement.
Quoting her words, Edwards recounted:
“You said NO! And I quote you: ‘The ₦150,000 I gave you to start that studio is bigger than that money. Just give it time. They are not of God.’”
At the time, Edwards admitted he was puzzled by his mother’s stance, struggling to comprehend how ₦150,000 could ever be considered more valuable than $320,000. However, as his career flourished, he came to understand her wisdom.
A Legacy of Love and Guidance
Reflecting on his mother’s unwavering support and spiritual insight, Edwards expressed deep gratitude for her role in shaping his journey. He credited her for being a guiding force, always providing clarity and direction based on divine discernment.
“Thank you for everything. This space is not enough to write about you. Thank you for an impenetrable wall of fire! Thank you for always telling me the mind of God concerning my decisions. None of your words fell to the ground because you truly hear from God,” he wrote.
A Lesson in Patience and Trust
Today, with his successful career and ownership of his music, Edwards acknowledges the immense value of his mother’s wisdom. He emphasized that sometimes, financial gain is not the most important factor, and waiting on God’s timing brings greater rewards.
“After you said that, I kept wondering—how is ₦150,000 bigger than $320,000? BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND!” he added.
Concluding his tribute, the singer celebrated his mother for her love, protection, and unwavering faith in his journey, wishing her a heartfelt Happy Mother’s Day.
