GODWIN; Gospel Or Secular??? by ease06(m): 6:03pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
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? |

Personally, I believe music is an expression,its a language,so there4 if the content is edifying and soul lifting,why not.u can sing it anywhere,most spiritkoko(holy) people will tell u its the spirit behind the song yes I agree however its also about the audience.cos the fact beyonce sings SAY YES,doesn't make her a gospel singer and vice versa.let's drop some of our holier than thou attitude. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

The truth is it is not and was never an xtian song..neither was it played by an xtian artist. Am not a conspiracy theorist but what if d word ''Godwin'' was used in d same context as ''DORO''... just as Terry G used ''Look See Far'' and we thought it was ''Lucifer''.... In conclusion the church erred.. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

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? 4 Likes |

Well, that depends on the perspective you're looking at it from. As far as I know it's inspirational and portrays moral values. As long as a song doesn't make you high like you're on drugs, it doesn't make u wanna rob a bank, doesn't make you wanna 'hit it and smack it', and all the other stuffs that makes you regret your actions, then it's a moral song. However, morality is not equal to Gospel. 7 Likes 1 Share |
