More comment pls.

Well, I'm not a fan of the above...but G.music nowadays does not carry spiritual taste as of old...I hear some I just SMH....but when you hear G.music sang in the past today, you will still feel the spiritual taste like old wine...but now....come fast, come go...just like secular songs.

my dear your questions can be answered with this simple Bible verse
2corinthians 4v4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

personally I ask myself what do I intend to gain from listening to worldly music. the truth is I gain nothing actually. worldly songs are empty and don't help you grow in the spirit, it's only helps you to veer off from God.

And the truth is that most Christians are guilty of listening to worldly music. I pray for God to help us in our walk with him and to open our eyes to see that carnality doesn't pay. amen

thanks for the contribution.

Missdivineprove, a poet once said that if God builds His church and the devil builds his own church so that they are next to each other that the members of the latter would far exceed the members of the former.

People love darkness more than they love the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ because their deeds are evil which is a reason why they prefer worldly music to Gospel music.

Nevertheless, those who love and enjoy Gospel music are more than enough and will always be more than enough to encourage anyone venturing into it either for passion or as a career. God alone makes the difference. Never give up, never give in till you win.

If you've listened to Chris Delvan's songs before, you will know it is close to that of old even though he rendered it in English. As popular as Sinaj is, I'm not into her songs...I remember a MOG who went to the studio to record, and the producer said he should tone it down that his songs are too spiritual...funny...so, they want what's in vogue...you can't compare the songs of Lakin Ladeebo, Ayewa Adelakun with what we have vow even though they rendered it in indigenous languages...

so true. Thank you so much

lol @too spiritual.
Well, these are some of the challenges we have in gospel music, even in music video Production. Most of the producers, directors are not even Christians. In order to blend the music into what suit their views and opinion, they reduce the original divine flavour of the song. It takes a spirit minded song writer /singer to understand these.

You have a sweet voice...I listened to one of your songs just now. Keep it up and continue in that which you do...the Lord will uplift you in due season.

wao. U listen. Thanks so much

Gospel music is the most tasteless and annoying genre of music.

Just because it has a message about worshiping god does not mean it is good music. Music is more than a message- there are beats, themes and tempo. Many gospel musicians just focus on the message.


Not everyone is a christian, mind you.

hmmmmm.

@op,

The reason why gospel music is frowned at, is because of it's passed antecedents!!! Just check out these gospel albums from the past!!!

PICTURE 1: Encourages us to smoke weed!!!

PICTURE 2: Shows a man with an erect dick!!!

PICTURE 3: Is also encouraging us to get high!!!

PICTURE 4: Is encouraging blow jobs while seated on the piano!!!

@Niflheim where did you get all these from?

missdivineprove:
I don't want to post this, but I felt maybe someone may have something to contribute to enlighten me.
The challenges in gospel music are too many.
Alot of people do not know that we do extra work (voice training, prayers, bible studies, quite time, rehearse, creative way of writing lyrics etc) because we need to be good inorder to make a differences, but so many don't understand. Once its gospel, so many just turn off even when they've not listen.
I just discovered so many don't like gospel music. They prefer music that don't really have meaningful lyrics, non religious , music that's danceable even if you cant hear any lyrics and all that .
The christians are not encouraging as well. Its common once your song Is well produced and its not gospel, you easily have sponsors, supporters, easily get free air play etc.
The church on the other hand Is not helping matter. They don't encourage the up coming artist. They always prefer those who are popular already.
My last experiences in the church wasn't funny at all.
After the service, a man approach me and commended choir ministration which I was the lead vocal. He appreciated my voice, gave me his complementary card. He told me he will assist my music, but to my greatest surprise. He actually wanted me to write romantic lyrics, love song.
According to him '' I sing with deep affection and I 'll be good in that'', it wasn't a temptation at all, because I almost ended up on the street doing club, romantic songs before God saved my life.
I refused anyway.

Now my questions are :
1. why do so many people prefer non gospel music?
2.Why do our Society love music videos with nude, improper way of dressing?
3. Why do we find it difficult getting marketers and sponsors as a gospel artist?
What Is the way forward?
If you are into gospel music, feel free to tell us your challenges as well.

1 men love darkness rather than light.
2. lust, flesh, the love of this present world.
3. lemme skip this

True

I told someone there is gospel music for the church(highly spiritual, worshiping God...). And there is gospel music for the street/world (Correcting wordly view with God's view ).

What moves people of the world primarily isn't the message. It's basically the sound first.

Look at the likes of Lacrea, Jordan Armstrong, Adia, Andy Mineo, Drew Allen, Trip Lee and so on...

They do Gospel songs for the street. They get more accepted eventually and people life change (I'm a testimony) . I lost count of how many times their song set me in a right direction.

So I'd say, know what your gospel calling is and find fulfilment fulfilling purpose.

But if you want to take the street for Christ, you'd have to come off religious sentiments, don't be afraid of being rejected, and produce GREAT sounds not some old acient sound.

Thanks.

Thanks @davidoluyale. Very informative and inspiring

LMAO. This is crazy dude.
I am curious though. Is it that u had all those pictures sitting somewhere on ur device all this while or u just quickly googled them after u read the OP

The truth is that most gospel music is horseshit. Unbelievable and unremarkable horseshit.

A regrettable percentage of gospel artists have no talent and are not intelligent enough to discern it. Most will be better off selling chicken suya instead. They think being religious is a substitute for talent and intelligence so they just go into the studio to sing a song they just composed in 2 hours because maybe the "Holy spirit" just inspired them. Surely they can do all things through Christ that strengthens them, right? I laugh. Clowns

One choir girl just wakes up tomorrow and wants to be a musician because one hor.ny choirmaster told her she has a good voice and that God is using her powerfully in musical ministration. Then she hums to herself in a shower for a few days and, viola, she is inside the studio releasing a song chuck full of bible verses; a song that somehow forgets to weave the bible verses into a sweet melodious tune pleasing to the ears. Instead we get an uncoordinated beat cooked up by a producer whose next meal is coming from the payment he is getting from that same beat.
I can bet that if I listen to ur songs, it is 90% likely to be cringe worthy horseshit. Just horseshit with a lot of bible verses and Deity namedropping.

U don't see the likes of Frank Edwards or Don Moen with ur kind of complaints, right? Because they have talent and produce sensible music with good beats. That's why people love them. So if people don't want to hear ur song, it's most likely horseshit. Go and make better songs. People are not gonna buy just any song for religious reasons. Sorry. They are getting ripped off by pastors weekly. They don't need to be ripped off by gospel musicians too.

By the way, the same complaints u have made have been made by struggling secular artists too. They think talking about hustling hard and churning out music upon music and beats from a mediocre producer is a substitute for talent. It isn't. And not even God will help u if ur music doesn't have a nice ring to it.

Sorry OP, ur music is unacceptable not because this is the last days or men prefer evil to good like some dishonest people argued above. The honest truth is that ur music sucks and people that love it, ur family and friends whose opinions are sure to be less than objective, probably needed a lot more time to get attuned to it. Alas, the greater percentage of ur target demographic isn't that patient.

missdivineprove:
@NPcomplete, thanks. you are correct. Your example is funny though but its true.
My complaint is not about my own music yet, because I am still preparing/rehearsing. The little one I do now are testing work. When am done with my rehearsal, you will love my music.
My post is on general view.

from ur reaction n response to dat guy's writeup, i can discern dat u r a true child of God. Pls keep it up. God bless u.

Nah. It has nothing to do with being a true child of God by ur definition. It only shows she is a good person with a well cultivated sense of humour and willing to listen to the view of others no matter how harshly put the view is.

God really bless u missdivineprove. If not for anything but for ur sense of humour

Its alright.

@missdivineprove,

Where did I get the pictures? Google is my friend!!!

@NPComplete,

I was pondering on the question for so long, why do people have so much trouble accepting gospel music? Then at night, as I was about to sleep, I heard the voice of the High Priest "OTEM", and the High Priest said to me............................................."GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND!!! GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND!!! GOSPEL MUSIC PROMOTES INSANITY, FROM BEGINNING TO END!!!"

So immediately, I did my google search and I saw the pictures!!!
