So this afternoon I came across a post saying a UK based Pastor was criticising a church in Lagos for inviting Korede Bello to render his hit song;GODWIN.

I am forced to wonder if the song or the singer determines the genre of a song.

What makes a song gospel or secular? Is it the song (the message) or the singer?

Same thing with Timaya....I will never bow down

That song is not gospel.. The mere fact that someone calls God in his song doesn't make it gospel.. Kanye West for example has songs in which he mentioned God and Jesus but we all know he is a bad guy, at least judging from the other lines of the song

I know women of faith are gospel artists.. The gospel artistes in Nigeria have failed God. We have just very few that sing to uplift the soul and draw people closer to God. The best they do is to be thanking God for prosperity in their song, there is hardly any evangelical message

the fact that it was sung by a secular musician makes it 50% secular.

100% u mean!
What's not right is not right is not right.
Can it be sung in a mosque?

Add a bad rotten egg to 2 good ones, will it still be consumable?
Re: GODWIN; Gospel Or Secular??? by Kobeje(m): 7:29pm On Apr 09, 2015
What is a song? Simply, words set to music.

I don't know this song, but what does the lyrics say? If its not 'biblical', then its not spiritual in the Christian sense, and so should not be for a gathering of Christians. This is not about having a few Christian words in a song.

So, basically the words of a song determine what class or belongs, whether spiritual or secular.

Of course, a secular singer can sing spiritual songs which does not make him a spiritual person.

Note that I have limited the discourse to just secular and spiritual in terms germain to Christians.

Its so easy for people to expect Christians to accept anything, and term it intolerance when it doesn't happen. While the same people would not accept things Christian in some circles. Or would it be accepted to sing church songs at a night club? Whoever does that would be derided terribly.

The song is for all religion. he only mention God in d song. he didnt mention Jesus or mohammed or Budha or Amadioha or Sango etc. And God is equally seen as Almighty in all religion. The only people that d song is not meant for is ATHEIST.

Is not a gospel song.

I no get alert God win

I no buy moto God win

I no pass exam God win

I no win election God win

My market no sell God win

They only put God in it to buy the heart of many but the truth is that there is nothing Godly about that song.

God win whether my situation is good or bad shikena.
We must appreciate God in every situation we find ourselves he is with us in God or bad time.

You just got it spot on.. The word God they put in their songs in just to deceive the hear of the simple that the song is actually not that bad

Why should anyone be confused classifying what genre of music Korede sings? GODWIN is not a gospel music!

Gospel music is a music genre in Christian music. A gospel is an account describing the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. Gospel talks about the good news we're told/commanded to spread. While I won't want to talk about Bello's spiritual life, it's crystal clear that d boy sings to entertain and not to spread d word.

Just because he said "Na God win" u think it is a gospel song? Do u know the god they are referring to
Re: GODWIN; Gospel Or Secular??? by tobiajayip(m): 7:48pm On Apr 09, 2015
Don't the sung has emergy the nation but for the pastor to raise that issue. It mean God has lead him to see it has secular song. We all know dat u hardly hear gospel song played at d canteen, bar, hotel, club. But secular are the type of song they play in Places like. Dat so it definete where the song actually belong. So don't get confuse.


How many times av u heared pst akin adebayo song played at bear parlor?? Or micheal smith or don meon Big NO but seculars

The song is inspirational and there's nothing bad singing it in a church.

R.Kelly's song "Storm is Over" is sung in churches too. It is just an inspirational song.

God gave Korede the gift to sing and he has used it to praise him so what is the issue here. Is she expecting Korede to praise the devil?
