invitation of Mavin artiste, Korede Bello to sing his
popular hit "Godwin"in a church.
On Easter Sunday, Korede Bello performed the hit at
the Harvesters International Christian Centre ,in Lekki
as a special guest
Read Pastor Fabunmi's thoughts and decide if he's
right
Korede Bello is a young man I love personally,
and have nothing against him. But it's written
here, that when we chose the way of the world,
we have clearly chosen our paths; becoming an
enemy of God.
Please, there must be a clearly defined
boundaries of who sings, and /or ministers in
churches.
Some of the questions that come to mind are; is
he born again? Sanctified with the spirit of God
and baptized in the Holy Spirit?
Also, let's ask ourselves, what's even the
purpose of people singing in churches and
Christian concerts? Where purpose is lacking,
abuse is inevitable writes Francis Wale Oke in
his book; The Power of the Holy Spirit.
So I believe very strongly that one major
purpose of choristers or Psalmists singing is to
prepare the minds and hearts of the people for
the word of God that is to come shortly; since
we see in parable of the sower that the hearts of
men is like a soil, and when the seed (which is
the word of God) is sown, one of the factors that
will determine the level of harvest yielded is
the condition of the soil (hearts)."
I wish to submit by saying that the only
difference that makes the difference between
church gatherings/ programs and others like
clubs, parties is the Presence of Almighty God.
If he is not there, we might spend hours and do
all manners of spiritual gymnastics, it's sheer of
wasting of time, energy and resources.
And the ministers who know their onions do all
it takes to secure his presence. But I think today
in the word of a very senior man of God, one of
the
older generation, Dr. Ayodele who said
in Houston recently, that churches in
this generation has been reduced to
ABC… Meaning; Attendance,
Building and Cash.
