Tems, a singer-songwriter, is shouting her love for her God from the rooftops and blaming her success on him.
In an interview with Cool FM, the entertainer stated that prayer is a part of her daily routine, especially when she’s on the road. When asked how she deals with being overstimulated, her response? Prayer.
“I have a routine and a couple of practices, one of which is prayer.” “Whenever I’m on the road, in a plane, or in a car, I’m always listening to some sort of message,” she said.
She acknowledged that people have different belief systems and emphasised the importance of her relationship with God in her journey.
“I know what I’ve been through. It’s important that people know that I didn’t come here by myself and everything has been orchestrated by God and I wanna be as honest as possible no matter how much backlash, some people might think it’s weird but it’s okay. I stand on what I believe in. People have different beliefs and I get that and I have to thank him.”
Tems emphasised that she does not want anyone to believe that she achieved her success on her own. God and her faith are more than just ideas to her, and they have helped her so far.
“I feel like when you have a relationship with someone or If you’ve been through something with someone and someone says, ‘How did you do this?’ and you know that it is this person that has been guiding you through and helping you, imagine how the person would feel if you said I’ve just been doing my own thing, I came here by myself, everything I got was me. For me God is not a word or just an idea, for me he’s real and my life is real and my journey is real. In moments where I thought I wasn’t going to make it, I did and I have to.”
It is worth noting that Tems responded in 2022 to critics who accused her of “not living a Godly life.” She then reminded them that she is not anyone’s Christian saviour and has not come to uphold their religious beliefs.
