babe take it easy. Truth be told the same way u will not want a Sinach or frank Edwards to come since to you in the club is the same way a secular artist should stay away from the pulpit. Nobody holy pass that we all know but let us do things right. You say we like in the same world. Would u eat a snake because other humans like you also eat it? #My2cents

Making generalisations this way already makes your claim invalid . You may say a lot of them are hypocrites but not all. Meanwhile it's wrong to call such an artiste to the house of God where the children of God are supposed to listen to what will get them closer to God, you know the psychological effect of listening to that song in the church. ?

He used to be a muslim, I don't know about nw

This is a song that is being played in most clubs and he is not a gospel artist,So I don't see what he is doing in a church undecided
Do you know Mali Music sings Purely Gospel but he is signed on to Konvict Music! (Owned by Akon).

Koredo Bello is a Christian (Spirit filled and all that)and he clearly made that confession during his #Godwin Performance at Harvester's.

...and Yes that's my church, and I was there live..(Just 2 rows from the front).

By FEMI SALAWU



God Win crooner, Korede Bello’s invitation to sing at Harvesters International Christian Centre (HICC) has drawn criticism from US-based, Pastor Olusola Fabunmi.

The Mavin Records artiste was a special guest at the three services of the Lekki branch of the dynamic church under the leadership of its youthful shepherd, Pastor Bolaji Idowu.

With back-up vocals from the praise team, Korede Bello thrilled the youthful church audience with a live performance of his popular anthem, God Win. For a moment, his brief performance sent the auditorium into frenzy.

But Pastor Fabunmi is not thrilled by the artiste’s invitation to perform on a church alter. He quoted James 4:4, “Friendship with the world is enmity to God? Whosoever therefore will be friend of the world is enemy of God.”

“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 comes to mind are; is he born again? Sanctified with the spirit of God and baptized in the Holy Spirit,” he said.....

I didn't bother to read your post to the end, you people should just go and live in heaven na, since this world is not for you.

He has a kingdom, yet decided his people should live in the world, how does any of it make sense?

I feel so sorry for all you people who have allowed religion take away your senses, but apparently, there's nothing I can do about it. Well, it may not be right for him to sing in a church because going by common sense (since he's not a 'gospel' artist. Whether he's in Mavin, or Cash Money, or whatever music label, it does differentiate him from any of you hypocritical church people. He's same human as you are and any person deceiving you that you are superior because you are "born again" or any shit like that is simply taking advantage of your gullibility.
before you come online to type rubbish, try get brain to reason well.
What's hypocritical in my post?
Nobody is a saint but you can't bring a secular musician to the church.
A true Christian doesn't sing worldly songs.
If you need further proof, ask your church pastor!
Last Bullet
It is your types that invited Orezi to Convenant University...
I believe you know what ends the story, when the people in authority heard, they told him to leave before performing.
Get a brain and see the difference btw clamouring for genuine Christianity & being a hypocrite.

. SPOT ON

The problem with some people is that they don't just know how to be truthful by calling a spade a spade.. am not holier than thou oo but I know when something is wrong. The guy is not a gospel artiste and shouldn't have been invited as this can cause a lot of harm to the baby Christians who possibly are trying to get things right with God. It's funny how people are using hypocrisy or don't judge as an excuse grin. I tell you it will reach a time when murderers will even be invited to church and people will justify them, chai God is really nice oo cheesy.. I wouldn't take the insult if it were me

when you don't understand something, there is no crime to ask questions. . The word "world" in the context in which the bible uses it signifies things that will draw things far from God; not every single thing in the world

In God's Kingdom is just about the song or who 'its' glorifying but more importantly about the 'VESSEL' ... the church alter is not for performance but for Ministry

You are the confused fellow here.

Your bible say that you should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers yet in almost all spheres of your life, you have relationships with these set of people, actually gain from them and then turn around to behave like you are better than them? Hypocrite.tongue

Right there is why he was invited by the pastor-

- throw the congregation into a frenzy,
- they forget their sorrows,
- buy easily your crooked wares of hope & breakthrough
- give you seeds, pledges, tithes, offerings, vows etc in exchange for the hope you have promised them.


Pastor keeps smiling to the bank grin grin grin

Firstly,I'd lyk 2 ask, What are things of d world,what really r worldly things? There hv bn a lot of speculations abt this and most pple just dnt seem 2 get it ryt. 'Worldly things' don't hv 2 do with u procuring or purchasing good cars,brazilian hairs among others. It also dsnt involve ur choice of music,dressing or physical appearance. 'Worldly behaviors' involve gtn all of these things and 4gtn d 1 true being responsible 4 ur success(GOD). The 'stuff' now become a major priority and u let them get into ur head 4gtn ur true mission on earth. So as u can see,there is ntn lyk 'worldly things' but there are 'worldly behaviors'. The devil can manipulate anytn or any1 2 make it his as far as he's gvn d room 4 such. He is that wise and stupid at the same time cos God always counters him and wins. I'v known korede 4 a long tym nw even b4 he joined mavins. Godwin is a song 4 all ramifications of lyf bt it all boils down 2 d fact dat u'r acknowledging God for ur success so I totally disagree with d man of God with respect 2 his statement. With d way things r,its clear he's already judged korede cos he sings and his style is nt in line with d pastor's or church's doctrine. That's wt killing most people and churches now 'doctrine'. We just hv 2 be careful and mind wt we think,say and do cos we neva know when our lord JESUS will come. Peace
