On Mother’s Day, gospel singer Frank Edwards paid a touching tribute to his mother by recalling the time she stopped him from signing a $320,000 music contract that could have resulted in him losing control over his work.
Frank Edwards shared the story on social media, revealing how his mother’s intervention prevented him from making a costly mistake.
Originally supporting his career by providing funds for his studio, she ultimately prioritized his well-being over financial gain by preventing him from finalizing the lucrative deal.
In a remarkable display of love and wisdom, she even went so far as to take away his passport to prevent him from sealing the agreement.
“The very first time in my life years ago, I was to close a $320,000 deal from a group that wanted to almost own my entire catalogue. You said NO! And I quote you: ‘The 150,000 naira I gave you to start that studio is bigger than that money, just give it time. They are not of God.’
“In fact, you took my international passport away from me just to ensure I don’t travel to close that deal. I was laughing because I didn’t need to travel to close it, but then I listened to you. After you said that, I was thinking, ‘How is 150,000 Naira bigger than $320,000?’” he stated.
Years later, Frank Edwards now fully appreciates his mother’s wisdom and spiritual guidance, admitting that her decision shaped his journey.
“Now I understand. There is so much to say! But like I said, this space is not enough! Happy Mother’s Day, mum!!! Thank you for everything. Thank you for an impenetrable wall of fire! Thank you for always telling me the mind of God about the things I’m doing. None of your words fell to the ground because you truly hear from God,” Frank Edwards added.
