MY NIGERIAN GOSPEL MUSIC

Gospel music is a music genre in CHRISTIAN MUSIC. This Genre of Music varies in terms of style of performance, meaning or significance, creativity and definition as regards culture and social context. Gospel music is composed and performed for many purposes, such as aesthetic pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes as well as entertainment product for commercial purposes.

 In general, Gospel Music is characterized by dominant vocals, making use of Lyrics of a Christian nature. According to Omibiyi Obiduke, pg.6, (2004), Gospel music originally was used in the church and was performed at special festivals such as Harvest, Thanksgiving, and so forth.  However, with the electronic technology and the need for youths to have the type of music that caters for their social interest, gospel music was taken out of the confines of the church. At some point in history, people collected Nigerian folk songs and arranged them for the choral stage and even modified them and used the tunes for worship.  That was the trend that really developed into what we call the gospel music of Nigeria of today... (Okafor, 2002:6).

Ministrations rendered by invited talented individuals, choirs and independent church musical groups on Radio ELWA, Igbaja, which was broadcast from Monrovia, Liberia as from the 1950s also contributed to the growth of Gospel Music in Nigeria. The choir of Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA) featured prominently in this development.

Having said that, Nigerian Gospel Music has seen a proliferation since then, in terms of style, Content, Genre, Quality and form of beat or sound used, alongside all the elements of good Music, as it also takes into consideration, important factors such as culture, and target audience. Today, there are many Gospel Music Artistes in Nigeria, all of whom are Unique in their various styles and Genres of Music.

"PULLING THROUGH" IN TODAY'S WORLD...

Bible Mentioned that perilous times will come in the last days. Recently, with lots of stories about the chaos, wars, terrorism, natural and man-made disasters, injustice, etc, that flood the media reports, the only place we can find peace and solace is in our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST. But no matter what we see or go through in life, Bible tells us in the book of ROMANS CHAPTER 8 verse 37, that 'we are more than conquerors through Christ who has loved us". Therefore, with these few words below, I encourage us all to keep up with the Faith and Trust we have in Christ, for in due time we shall be rewarded... Stay blessed y'all...




1st John chapter 2 verse 15-17, 24-27, 28-29.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 

 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

And now, little children, abide in Him, that when. He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
