The Modern Gospel Awards (MOGA) returned with its 5th edition on October 4, 2025, lighting up the GNAT Hall in Accra with joy, talent, and purpose. The event was a beautiful blend of music, worship, and recognition for outstanding contributions to the gospel music industry.

From soul-stirring performances to powerful moments of worship, every segment reminded the audience why MOGA continues to be one of Ghana’s most inspiring gospel events.
One of the biggest highlights of the night came from Labena Music, whose surprise performance got the crowd on their feet. The atmosphere intensified when Selina Boateng, the night’s main guest artist, took the stage with a performance many described as “game-changing.” Her set left an emotional mark on everyone present, perfectly capturing the spirit of the evening.
