Prophet Oladipupo Funmilade – Joel, a gospel music
promoter and critic has harsh remarks for gospel singer. The minstrel claims
that most gospel/Christian singers in the country, today, are not inspired by
God but gate-crash into the music-genre to make quick money and fame.
Baba Sekunderin as the cleric is popularly called,
regretted that these gospel/Christian singers are not inspired by the Holy
Spirit, hence, they are merely entertainers, thus leading believers into sins
and astray, instead of establishing heaven in the hearts of the people…adding,
“they sing for mammon and not God”.
The President, The Way of Reconciliation Evangelistic
Ministries (TWOREM) Int’l (a.k.a Prophetic & Solution chapel) Lagos,
Nigeria, stressed that these modern gospel singers do not possess the spiritual
pedigree to win souls, they lack Holy Spirit to work wonders and miracles and
cannot be a crusader of anti-rottenness in the society, and they are pretenders
subverting other people’s destinies.
According to Baba Sekunderin; “Yes, it is true one needs
money to move people, band members and equipment around, but, one should not
allow money, fame and worldly things derail one’s focus, mission and vision.
Really, if you stick to God and run away from sins and unrighteousness, money
will come naturally, through divine prosperity”.
The cleric added that, gospel music is all about God and
His kingdom, helping people to access the throne of grace, so, it becomes a
dilute and nuisance-music, when you just inject the name of Jesus into a song
and claim it is gospel music.
