Recounting his journey on Joy Prime’s Changes show with Lois Shola Adeyemi, Pastor Amoateng revealed that he once lived a clubbing lifestyle, despite being raised in a Christian home.

However, a life-altering moment came when he heard a gospel song while taking a taxi to a nightclub.

“Being a church boy, always in church, I knew what church was. So, I remember when I got to Legon, I used to club a lot—almost every day, from Monday to Tuesday. One day, I was going to a nightclub, and I was in a taxi when the driver started playing a gospel song. Something entered me, and I felt like crying, but I still wanted to go to the club just to please my friends,” he recalled.

That night, upon arriving at the club, he realized something had changed within him. The joy he once found in partying had vanished, and for the first time, he felt out of place.

“Being the ‘Chingy’ that people knew, I didn’t open the dance floor. I got to the club, and something told me to go home. I felt so down. Normally, I would leave the club at 5 a.m. every day, but that day, I left by 2:30 or 3 a.m.,” he recounted.

Overcome with emotion, he returned to his hostel and broke down in tears, feeling an undeniable loss—one he soon recognized as the absence of Jesus Christ in his life. That night marked a turning point, and he resolved to rededicate himself to God’s work, leaving his old ways behind.

Pastor Amoateng acknowledged that he had been living a double life, torn between church and worldly pleasures. However, through this experience, he understood that God communicates in various ways and that divine encounters do not always come in dramatic forms.

“A lot of people think that God’s voice has to be a deep, bass voice, but sometimes God speaks in mysterious ways. It can come as a still, small voice within you. You can go to church, and the message the preacher delivers might be God speaking to you,” he explained.

He encouraged young people to seek spiritual guidance from Bible-believing churches and to remain open to God’s voice, which can manifest in unexpected ways.

“God speaks in so many ways. We should not follow, for instance, the Nollywood style that portrays God’s voice as always being a deep, bass voice,” he added.

Pastor Amoateng’s story serves as a testimony of transformation, highlighting how a simple moment can lead to a profound spiritual awakening.
