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.....

Pastor dey talk him own. So it should be written on his forehead that he's born again? It's between him and God. What if he's not born again and he tells u he is?

Truth be told , the church shouldn't have invited him.

Give me elbow room

Hez nt a gospel artiste so dey shudnt have invited him....after Godwin na adaobi him go sing?

the world is going insane

soon timaya or terry G will be invited to sing in a church
why am I even surprise ? saint Janet do perform at church

tor..... E no concern me...
MEANWHILE, SOMEWHERE IN LAGOS

SON: Mom, grandma is so annoying, I wish she will just die.
MOTHER: Idiot, it's your mother that will die not mine.

Na wa oo

So Godwin don become gospel music now to dey sing am 4 house of God

Anyway na GodWin oo

In my Religious mind, well i cant judge He sang that song to praise God and In Gods Kingdom there is no segregation, Afterall Solomon sang some of the best love song ever and its there writtin in the Bible

And In my normal mind This is simple arithmetic

Some Churches are not really Gods house to promote Gods kingdom, they are glorified Business Center set up not to save souls but to make money. So for the church its just a mere performance no strings attached. Girls Shake body , pay more offering, pastor hammer case closed

Na GODWIN

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

And what's wrong with the church having a little bit of Godly fun?

Some people should please chill. He didn't sing about obscenities. Its about tge song and who its glorifying, not necessarily the instrument through which its delivered!

nice outfit though

As I receive invitation from Churches na #Gidwin.

Churches go soon invite cynthia morgan

Which kind hypocrisy be this now Pastor!

Pastor 'Fabunmi' 'Ifabunmi'

Help me ask pastor why e no change name first!

God searches the HEART.......

I don get alert...

pastor thank u for saying the truth...

What is this nonsense these hypocrites always talk about the way of the world and people of the world?

For feck's sakes, you live in the world, eat food from the world, use stuffs made in the world by people of the world, everything about you is literally in the world and you still say you are not of the world and talk crap about people you think you are better than, because they are supposedly of the world? How confused can someone be biko nu?

ClassyAdewumi:
Truth be told , the church shouldn't have invited him.

₪a you dem for invite ₪a..................................agbaya pastor

Hypocrite everywhere don't they all have his songs on their phone and blasting it ahome morning and night


What's the difference between him and the church members

Nawa oo.... Gradually, worldliness may over run the so called church. I guess Don Jazzy's plan is working! Korrect IGBO Man. Tapping into the resources of Rich Nigerian pastors since the time of Christ!

Meanwhile from Lagos;

Korede Bello shouldn't v been invited to the Church.
He's not a gospel artist.
A gospel artist is someone who's a true Christian & doesn't sing secular music.
If they are allowed to sing in Church before genuinely becoming a Christian, they ll pollute the Church.
This is not a personal attack on Korede Bello or any other secular artist.
They are free to worship in the Church & hopefully become genuine Christians so that they can use their sweet voice for God.
Just imagine Chidinma or Seyi Shay in the Choir.
Last Bullet
That was how some naive students invited Orezi to Convenant University.
He was asked to leave before performance by the authority.
Youths of nowadays really need to understand what Christianity means so that they ll know the kinda music, movie to see or hear!
