Top Nigerian Artiste Chidinma Has Gone Gospel

After 9 full years of singing secular music, Chidinma Ekele converted to Christianity and started singing gospel. She had her photos captioned with messages that clearly showed she was done with Afro-pop music.

Chidinma is a Nigerian gospel singer and songwriter. she rose to stardom years back after she won MTN project fame in Nigeria In 2010, she’s been consistent with releasing her music, she became the first female musician to peak at number 1 on the MTV base Official Naija Top 10 chart . Chidinma reappeared again in May 2021 after being absent from the music scene but this time she was celebrating her 30th birthday, she shared photos of herself on social media, however, there was something different about the singer that wasn’t strange though but was unusual, she was now a Gospel Artiste. 

“God has been very intentional about me, I’m not here because I want fame or I want money, I’ve had all of that, I think I have had enough of all that, right now its the time to work for my father, He’s the one who has called me.” she mentioned that the enemy has been winning for a long time, and that she’s wasted time herself, she said it’s time too take back the wasted years, using all the fame and everything to work for the father, she’s called herself the ‘end time soldier’ because of the hard work she’ll be doing for the gospel of Jesus. In her journey, that’s just started, she’s released a gospel song titled “Jehovah Overdo” under the same record label with Mercy Chinwo and Judikay as a Nigerian gospel singer.

Her old pictures on social media are deleted and replaced with stories and photos around her new found Christian life.

Speak The Truth Always – Pastor Chris Oyakhiklome

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:16-19).

Some people can’t seem to put a stop to certain unpleasant habits, such as lying. But being born again, you have a different nature; you’re not in servitude to sin or Satan, because you’ve been made free from death and the law of sin. The very thing that makes people sin has been disabled in your life.

Therefore, you can say, “No” to any bad habit, and that’ll be it. All that’s required is your decision, and the discipline to stick to the Word. The Word says, “Put away lying”; therefore, say to yourself, “I tell the truth only, and always, no matter what!”

You can quit whatever it is you do that you know is wrong; you only need to make up your mind. Romans 6:14 says, “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” Sin can no longer keep you in bondage; it can’t make you do what you don’t want to do anymore, because you have a new nature—the God-nature.

Our opening scripture counted a lying tongue and a false witness among the things that the Lord detests. So, put away lying; it’s not a part of your new nature in Christ. The Bible says, “And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” (Ephesians 4:24). Now that you’re in Christ, you’ve put on the new man; you’re different. Act accordingly. Speak the truth always.

An Introduction

It’s been quite some time that I’ve been thinking about starting a blog to share my over-20 year journey as a music minister and to share special moments from my daily endeavors. Well, here it is FINALLY!

One of the greatest lessons I have learnt is that perspiration can never take the place of meditation and inspiration and vice-versa. A case in study is the title of this blog. I spent so much time trying to come up with a name that would be apt, trendy and indicative of my goals… I came up with zilch!!! and then one day as I meditated on God’s word… it dropped right into my spirit.

In like manner, many times we want to write a song and even get started, but somewhere along the line it feels like we freeze. Inspiration is quickly gone and nothing is coming out anymore. We often try to force it and just never seem to get the best out of the song. Eventually, out of desperation we compromise and churn out a half-baked song… 

Gospel music must be inspired music, so what do you do? Get inspired! “How?”, you may ask… Keep following this blog and you will find out!

Breathings of a music minister

So, what does “breathings” actually mean? I tried looking up some of the synonyms and found the following words, “inhalations, exhalations, gasping, panting, puffing…

Certainly nothing even close to what I have in mind… another lesson learned: things aren’t always what they seem to be. Context is everything.

Breathings in this context refers to the outward expression of my innermost thoughts, cogitations, meditations and contemplations. Simply put… my mind up for grabs. I do believe you will be extremely blessed as we delve into areas which haven’t really received enough attention and others which may have been considered quite controversial. A few good examples could include:

  • Should a gospel artiste be caught singing a love song?
  • Is talent synonymous with a gift?
  • Is there anything wrong with a Christian listening to secular music?
  • What’s more important, the rhythm, lyrics, or melody?

While I can almost literally see you waiting for the answer, rest assured that these and more will certainly be answered in the days to come. For now, I’ve got to sign out, but if you have about gospel music or if you seek clarification on any of my posts, hit me up at breathings@pozytv.com. I will certainly try to answer, as long as the answer can be found on this side of God’s world… otherwise, we will just have to wait till we get to heaven😊😊😊😊😊😊

And if you have not bought your own copy of my book titled “The Word, Music & I”, what are you waiting for? Order yours NOW!!!

On behalf of the Pozytv team, here’s Efe Prime signing out saying, “Change in a situation is a natural response to faith that refuses to take no for an answer”. Shalom!
