Personally,d song isn't gospel @ all!Gospel songs deal with personality first b4 d message it passes across!D guy was neva a gospel artiste,not planning to be one,just wanna make name nd money!I lyk d song very well nd it's a pure secular song.To sing it in church is unfair nd as bad as bringing lil wayne,kanyewest nd jayz to sing in church!If he cums to church to worship is a diff case,but he came as a special guest is totally wrong!To err is not a problem,but accepting nd repenting is d big issue!Dis is just my view,house!

really really and absolutely ...that song is secular song not a gospel song...but you know nowadays even secular songs enter into church and even approved by pastors...anybody who term that song to be a gospel song is a fool.

bro u getting it all wrong. Are the chorsters beta Dan him?, like I gave an example of R kelly, he performs in churches as well.

it's wrong to perform a secular song in the church, there is no justification for such at all; not even a bit. The implication of a secular artiste performing in a church can cause a huge damage to the baby Christians or new believers in Christian who are probably just leaving their old lifestyle.. And then they see the dorobucci guy performing in their church? Where they thought it's a place for getting closer to God? If you can justify KB to sing in a church, why not justify Don jazzy; iyanya and even tiwa savage; they all have "seemingly" godly songs too, but of course true Christians know the songs aren't godly.

nope I'm saying that it's pretty weird that we use worldly dance steps in church and noone says anything but when it's a worldly song then it becomes bad?

There was a thread about last year where the issue of dancing kukere; azonto is wrong or it.. so not everyone approves of such dance steps. . One of the reason I saw was prevalent in that thread was that it brings the memory of the worldly songs associated to those dance steps in church

He can sing the song in church provided the song doesn't have a secular lyrics in it.Christians do sing R kelly's storm is over,i believe i can fly and other R kelly's inspirational songs whereas R kelly is a secular singer who like sex songs

well for those who knows R Kelly's personality, his so called gospel song cannot move them.. For you to be moved by a gospel song, you have to be born again which implies carrying the Holy Spirit
Re: GODWIN; Gospel Or Secular??? by Bemmics: 8:35am On Apr 10, 2015
[color=#000099][/color]you're wrong man! The fact that it was sang by a secular musician doesn't make it a secular song or else you would say R Kelly's song "You saved me" would be a secular song even though he's secular!
EroticAngelina:
the fact that it was sung by a secular musician makes it 50% secular.

The bible says Judgement will begin in the house of God. What do you call a gospel song. A song in which it language is all about things of heaven read matt6:33 and IITim 3: 16-17. May God help us

Don't mind all the hypocrites that believe that for a song to be classified as gospel,it must be sang by Jesus,or Jesus look alike..

Even Beanie-Man a ragga artist sang a gospel song.

So to me,any song that glorifies God is gospel,regardless of who sang it.

After all I sing praises to God before praying,yet I know am a sinner,will God not accept my praise because of that?
God will answer but you yourself said you are a sinner will you ever concentrate. The man we are talking here sang to make money, not to praise God. You cannot serve two master, you will hate one and Love the other

You sabi judge, one would think that you have never sinned and you are a personal advisor to GOD himself.

As for me when i hear this song, i have a tendency to say a little prayer to thank GOD. That more than i can say for some of your so called Gospel song by gospel artist that charge churches to perform... and then sing songs that condemn and judge non beliver form whom the while point of gospel is for.

No one has total and unabashed grace from God. we all do our best and only God will judge us all on that day, you will find that you and Korede Bello will be in the same room on judgement day. At least with his so called secular song he may have made 1,000,000 people praise GOD and magnify his name.

Can you Mr. God's PA say the same for yourself? How many souls have your touched. How many hungry have you fed, or homeless have you housed.

Any song that makes you reflect and think of Gods goodness, grace and mercy is qualified to be Gospel. After all it will make one reflect and praise his holy name.



PLEXPLEX:


Dancing shoki with this is not the same. Do u know the kind of dance David did?
It is only the same if the dance is shake ya bombom & u know it is not possible in a Church which is genuine for God.

Korede is not a gospel act as such inviting him to sing in the Church is wrong knowing fully well that no man can genuinely serve two masters . He should comeout & give his life to Christ & embrace the gospel letting go the circular singing which simply means praising/serving the devil. Until he does that, he shall coming to be an intruder singing the LORDS song

God has a name,which "god" does "Godwin" refer to ?
Re: GODWIN; Gospel Or Secular??? by Qualbe(m): 10:53am On Apr 10, 2015
Just because we add a prefix or suffix of God to something doesn't make it Christian (Gospel).
E.g there is gospel rap, gospel movies, gospel news, gospel comedy, gospel music. I wonder whether soon it'll be gospel porn, gospel politics, gospel romance.
God can never lower his standards for man's pleasure. Jesus said; "not everybody that says Lord Lord, shall enter into the KINGDOM."

It's wrong to ask him to perform in a church ....
Yeah we all aren't saints but we know what's not acceptable by the lord

a church is supposed to be a holy sanctuary and d only people that are to be allowed to stand on the altar of God and before d congregation are choristers and ministers of the gospel...



Singing in the church is NOT for entertaining the members but ministering through music for souls to be restored and bodies be healed and MOST importantly GIVING PRAISES TO THE LORD...

@Op DONT EVER TRY TO CONFUSE A CHURCH WITH A SOCIAL GATHERING!!!!

Well i ve read u n thank very much.

I am a sinner saved by grace n each passing day i strive to b like Christ.
Korede song, even though i ve not listened to it before i wrote the first time i knew it cant be a Christian song because how do u expect a secular singer to genuinely sing of the goodness n love that the father has bestowed upon us?

He wouldn't otherwise he would ve used that talent of singing to only praise God.

Before i gave my life to Christ i do listen to Artist like Korede & it was fyne but i gave my life, i began to wonder y would anyone use his God given talent of singing to sing to other pleasures of life & not to worship God? It is honestly a misplaced purpose in life.

I do not ve plenty of issues with KOREDE but i do blame the pastor that invited him
