No more online preaching for Minister Marion Hall

MINISTER Marion Hall, formerly Lady Saw, says she will be walking away from conducting her “preaching” and other religious activities on social media.

In a message posted to her Instagram and Facebook accounts on Tuesday night, Hall revealed that “social media has become a place where I don’t want to be”.

“Blessings overflow to all Jesus followers and friends. I just want to inform you that I will no longer be preaching and doing prayers and fasting online,” she told her thousands of fans and followers.

The disclosure by Hall comes following a recent revelation she made during an online sermon that she is being “banned” from some churches and was no longer booked for an appearance at a fund-raising concert at Papa San’s Ministry in Florida, United States, on May 7.

Hall went on to theorise that her controversial approach to the gospel could be behind some churches withdrawing support for her ministry publicly.

Those withdrawals have seemingly been further fuelled by her being billed to appear on Reggae Sumfest in July, having last performed at the event when she was active in dancehall in 2015.

Before being baptised on December 14, 2015, Hall went by the moniker Lady Saw. She established her church, the Holy Ghost Pentecostal Church of Jesus Christ, online in 2020.

On Tuesday night, the ‘Tun Back Christians’ singer gave more details on her shift away from preaching online.

“I also want to thank all the people who contributed to the Bible giveaway. I’ve been called all types of names for asking for confirmation to buy the Bibles, so I won’t be asking for any more confirmations,” she stated.

“God will provide the money to buy the amount we need, he’s a great provider,” said Hall.

“Please get yourself connected to a church or Minister of the word of God, and get to know God for yourself. Love you all. Peace out,” she concluded.

Despite her stance, the gospel singer’s fans encouraged her to remain strong and not pay attention to the detractors and naysayers online.

“My sister, ‘Greater is He that is in you than he that in the world!’ Please keep focus and don’t mind the haters,” wrote a male follower on Facebook.

“I can understand if you want to stop preach online; I felt so at times but stick closer to God,” he added.

Said one female Facebook user: “If Job do it, you can do it. Don’t let them win. You are in my thought and prayers for greatness.”

Commented another: “Don’t let them win, continue do you. Let God be the judge, not mankind. What some of them doing behind closed doors you will never believe.”

Hall made a similar announcement in February 2022 that she would “no longer be preaching or keeping church on any social media platform”, and would be stepping away from her “calling”.

Though Hall’s sentiments sent social media into a frenzy at the time, with many speculating that she would be making a return to dancehall, the minister, in an interview she later did, shared that she would not be abandoning her ministry.

“I’m just stepping away from Facebook and IG (Instagram) because they’re just polluted with the devil’s activity,” she said then.

However, she returned to her regular online sermons shortly after.

Hall, 53, is best known for her Grammy-winning feature on No Doubt’s hit song, ‘Underneath It All’. But, as Lady Saw, she ruled the dancehall roost with a steady stream of hits such as ‘Man is the Least’, ‘Sycamore Tree’, ‘If Him Lef’, ‘Good Man’, ‘I’ve Got Your Man’, and ‘Heels On’.

As Minister Hall, she is known for the fan-favourite track, ‘Tun Back Christians’, ‘Mi Soon Alright’, and her recent hit ‘I’m Doing Better’. (Loop News)
