Mehnnn I connect with Limoblaze's songs on a deep worship level, especially because of the words. Which I believe the lyrics of any gospel song is the CORE. There's a place we get to in our relationship with God, where we must realize that when we begin to focus especially on the lyrics of a song and internalize it, it takes us to a place of deep adoration to our Father leading up to the point of causing changes and renewal in our hearts. The blend of the Afrobeat genre is even a plus. Thank God there's scripture to help us. It is the word of truth and we must align with the wisdom in it. Because we have feelings and opinions about what should and shouldn't doesn't change our role and call to live by the word. THERE ARE MAJOR THINGS THE WORD OF GOD EMPHASIZES throughout scripture, (like the call to Love, forgive, obey, worship...) whilst there are others that it points out only for us to use Wisdom birthed from intimacy to guide us and rightly divide. "For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect (love) is come, then that which is in part shall be done away". 1Cor13:9-10 1Pet1:24&25
If I had been a fan and consistent viewer/follower of the mike-Bamiloyes and the Mount Zion movies, A lot of mistakes, errors, sins and atrocities in my life would have been avoided and prevented. No regrets however, better late than never. I'm glad I finally found something and someone that always point me towards the light of God's Word and righteous living. God bless you. Love ya
Thanks for this sir...I attended the wedding.... so It's the part of judging through a 25sec video that got me 😅And eventually... let's all go and get married and play any song we like oo.. It was his wedding😅 I was live at the wedding (one of the instrumentalists... by privilege 🙇🏾♂️)And Funny enough... Do you know that Papa later smiled with and hailed the guy that day...The guy played some of Apostle Edu's funny quote in a mix😅...Apostle Edu then went to him and said ehen...my guy na wetin you for play since na😅 Anyways...na we wey dey backstage see am😌
Thank you bro. If not for this video I wouldn't have known the particular song Apostle said is not his type of song is a Christian song. As I don't like secular song polluting my soul and spirit too. I also didn't get to the point where secular songs don't appeal to me in a day, in fact at my wedding and as a Christian I requested for one I love my baby song by Wizkid and the band refused to sing it because they do Gospel songs. I believe the level of our growth spiritually also determines the type of song that appeal to us and our age too. Personally there are some of Moses Bliss song that I don't really like but the Gen Z like those type of song because of their age and what is trending now... Lastly, it is best our Gospel Ministers wait on God for heavenly sounds that are ever green and appealing to all generations like our Hymns that have been sung Centuries ago...and still very relevant
His wedding, his playlist. I totally agree! That was the first thing that came to mind when I watched the video. He has the right to choose the songs that would be played and to caution the DJ (he hired o) if he does otherwise. And like you said rightly, he might not even know the song or the artist, is it at that point he wants to start listening to lyrics & researching on the music artist?? The DJ should have focused on the playlist he was given and saved his creativity for another day. Bashing afrobeat gospel and claiming its not gospel doesnt make sense at all. We focus on the wrong things and fight needless battles often times
I am so grateful to God you made this video. I am a Christian youth who was quite confused with regards to the response in the video to the afrobeat song but this has cleared all my doubts. Thank God for using you sir. More Grace Sir.
The first time I saw this clip, I felt embarrassed as a Dj. I am a Christian Dj and when it comes to weddings, I do ask my client the kind of songs they’d love me to play cos I don't want them to look confused when I play what wasn't approved. My take: - I feel the Dj has been making mistakes during the event and the pastor has had enough of that or that wasn't the dj on set at that moment. - The Mc shouldn't have said that out loud. She could've gone close to the Dj to ask what happened at least to know if there was a technical or music file issue not give an authoritative warning in that manner. - In any event, I believe they should always be a follow-up discussion to be sure that everyone is on the same page. It doesn't matter if it's the Dj, caterer etc. There should be communication at all times so no one is lacking behind. Thank you JayMikee #DjDheelite #BeTheLight
You are right. Communication is key. I failed to do that and my DJ ruined my wedding reception with songs I was too embarrassed to dance to and I couldn't stop him.
What if there was a followup discussion but we can’t see it because bad news flies faster 🤷🏾♀️ Whoever shared the video has achieved what him/her wanted
Thank you so much for tackling this with wisdom. I THINK, he meant he had a song he wanted. People are different. Benny Hinn often tells the drummer to stop playing, and the pianist to play softly. It doesn't mean drums are ungodly. He just has a way of connecting. As a recap: learn the full story
This man's wisdom just might finish me. Thank you sir for this. This has been a silent debate, for some very loud but never got this far. God bless you sir.
Jaymikey, i wish you could see the leaping for joy in my heart right now. Your dissect further affirms that God has placed men in the body to serve different purpose. You are the revival i secretly prayed for. Your hands are made strong! I'm glad your parents allowed you walk in your God ordained path.
Thank you for speaking to balance everything. My take to the whole thing is: let us respect people choices and personality. But skilful people want to do more than they are paid to do
Had a big argument with a friend of mine over this issue, cause he kept saying Limoblaze was decieving the body of Christ with songs that are not of God. I was shocked. I don't even know what our relationship looks like right now😅, everything sha went sour. I really wish a whole whole whole lot of people in the body of Christ get to see this video. So balanced and educative. Thank you Sir!
A suggestion when it comes to human relationships: Try to never lose relationships over "avoidable" arguments. Also argue to learn, and NEVER to win. Always, while arguing learn to measure the direction the argument is tilting to. If you sense that it's tending towards hurting your relationship with the other party, try to suspend the argument where possible. Blessings!
Thanks so much Joshua. You've said it all. Apostle said "this is not my song" , it's his write to choose which song or musician to like or listen to. I believe there were different types of food that day, and many people were allowed to make their choices. It's his wedding. Again I say, thanks so much Bro Jaymikee. Shalom.
Thanks so much for this! I agree with your thoughts. I wish I could send a vn here 😂😂 Honestly, context is important. I honestly thought it was a secular song until I went to find out about the song and realised it was a song by Limo blaze and he was singing about God... I had never heard the song before that time. We shouldn't be quick to judge and we shouldn't compare songs too. Like you said, it is his wedding and we should respect that. Everyone is different, maybe like me, he didn't know the song was Christian . Also, he sounded as though he had certain songs which he had informed the dj to play. It is his big day so he has a choice as to what song he wants.... I also love how you said that Christian songs serve different purposes which is true! God bless you Jaymikee and God bless the body of Christ 😊
The DJ is not a professional DJ, you should know who apostle edu is and his kind of person, all this afro gospel songs are look warm songs. You should be playing songs that can stir up his spirit man of the apostle in question, I think the DJ needs to learn More.
As Christians, it's important that we know how to respond to issues like this. I believe we are meant to edify ourselves hence it's not necessary to start putting up all sorts on the social media. I love the wisdom that you're dishing out. More Grace sir @Jaymikee.
What makes a christian song a christian song is not only the wordings but most importantly the spirit behind it...If your spirit is right..you'll be able to discern...Shalom and Life unto you all in Jesus' mighty Name Amen
I had seen some hot takes but I didn't see the clip until I clicked this video. I didn’t know what you would say but I'm glad I listened because you spoke with wisdom. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts.
Agree with your points. I found Afro gospel really good especially when I’m trying to connect with non Christians, as an icebreaker and also whilst working out at the gym cos it’s upbeat and energetic plus the lyrics are edifying. Really thankful for young Afro gospel artists like Limoblaze, CalledOut Music, Nolly and the rest as their music has helped me reach out to a wider audience.
Agreed it has really touched people here in the UK I only played this during my wedding and my non Christian friends really appreciated it this level of criticism is what makes the souls in which we could touch run away from the hypocrisy.
@@annaisiomaful exactly! These guys are good and are pointing people to Jesus through their music. This is what ministry is all about. If we look at a lot of things that we’ve embraced as tools for evangelism, like social media and all, majority of them were all criticized simply because it’s new to us. Remember God is multidimensional and can’t be boxed. He is Jireh, Ebenezer, El Elyon and a lot more. In our context, He is the God of Nathaniel Bassey, also God of Dunsin Oyekan, God of Limoblaze and God of CalledOut. God is looking for vessels for the next move across the 7 mountains, of which arts and entertainment falls under this category, and so far Limoblaze, CalledOut and the rest have made themselves available. Scripture also reminds us that the sons of isaachar had an understanding of the times and seasons and they knew what to do. Key is to understand what God is doing and know how to respond to this next move of God
@@7001patoA christian musician is first of all a priest before a musician. you have a lot of very carnal people with no altar singing very soulish songs inspired from the world and tagging such songs christian songs. That is what all these is about. You have a man with no prayer life singing songs. such songs don't edify and spiritual people will instantly find that offensive.
@@austinjohn8713 No doubt, there would always be counterfeits but this is the same too in any sphere, even in the church too. You have those genuinely called and you have those that called themselves. Limoblaze and CalledOut Music have helped me draw closer to God and point people to Jesus. If this isn’t ministry, then perhaps I might want to hear your definition. Ultimately, scripture tells us to allow the Spirit of God to guide us as this is the hallmark of our sonship.
God bless you for taking out time to make this video and to share it with us. I listen to Limoblaze’s music so immediately I heard the song I recognized it, but then like you said not everyone will be able to tell that it’s a Christian song from the very beginning except if you have patience to listen properly . Anyway, I learnt a lot from this video, thank you again.
Nice work sir God bless If judgements are done rightly like this,there wouldn't be enough issues trying to balance Christianity God bless you with more Grace sir
God Bless Jaymike, this is what we should be doing, throwing more light in love, than being judgemental, at of the day we pull down than build. God bless you immensely.
I like in particular the 3rd point in your analysis i.e. "don't make your preferred choice the superior option". It is definitely true that we have preferences and almost often judge other options through that lens. Thanks for calling that out and thank God I can stick to my preferences with reason valid to me while leaving others to have their preferences too. Building on it, I would say "Don't force your preferred choice down the throat of others" because for instance we know that outside this specific subject of conversation which is music genre now, God would rather be accessed through "The way" and not any other. In that case, one's preferred way may be superior but you still don't force it down others' throat. If humans can learn this and live by it, we will co exist better in the earth.
Thank so much, sir, for this exposition. When I saw the trend, I had to look for the song and I couldn't help putting it on repeat and dancing to it. This is the best I've heard on this topic. Thank you, sir.
You just gained a new subscriber🔥🔥 I've always been told about you and was never interested. But just checked you out today and you've gained a subscriber. I love your depth of understanding
Well done Jaymikee. Good job! I will just like to add that, he might have assumed that the song is a worldly song because I also heard it for he first time in that video. Being a man of God, he wouldn't want such at his party. DJs can be funny, you'll give them your list they play theirs to market their business. That was why I didn't get a DJ for my wedding because I have seen them spoil the day for couples. I just got a Christian musician jeje. The funny part is that, this same people who are talking would have said worse things of the song was a worldly song and Apostle just managed and danced to it. May God continue to help we ministers in Jesus name.
Fabulous explanation min. Jaymikee👋💯 especially the one you did with food just like you did when explaining the difference between worldly, secular and gospel music.... Love your energy, vibes, music 🔥❤️...God bless u for us
You sang a song after your wedding.. The best Christian love songs... God inspire to do more of such.. well that song in that wedding .. the rhyme will take someone to afro hip pop
As a Christian, there are times when I am working on my laptop I prefer to listen to only instrumentals like strings or saxophone and sometimes slow hymns and other times gospel live band because I want to enjoy the instrumentals and other times songs that only talks about the death and love of Christ. Human beings are dynamic and respond to different environment and mood. Different songs are meant for different occasions. There is a church close behind my windows. Sometimes their praises make noise to me but to them they are praising God. I feel like I need something which is more relaxing but theirs is more like shouting and the only thing I do to overcome this is to apply the principle that "if you can't be like them just join them". I just sing and praise along and forget that it makes noise. I am a Ghanaian though but I can say Gospel music nationwide especially Africa has taken a different form and modernization. Gone were those time where Nigerian gospel artist in their videos will change locations and costumes like 15 times but today they stand and sing like the whites do in church auditoriums and event centers and that rich captured video becomes their music video clips. Personally, I think it's best for a Christian to listen to edifying songs.
Thank you so much Sir.... This was very enlightening. I actually thought it was not a Christian song o🤣🤣🤣. Very helpful Content! Thank you sir God bless you sir 🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️
I am part of an Afro Orchestra that plays afrobeat (Fela's Genre) but purely Gospel. A unique Gospel genre in my opinion. We have been a victim of criticism as a result So it's such a breathe of fresh air to watch this video. Thank you!
Gospel with the an atmosphère of a bloody fornicator. I am sure when you sing and dance, you will think about Fêla. So why lie to yourself? Leave Jésus alone. It is carnality. It is like producing à so called Christian movies with à background of à porn movie
Thank you Jay! You really answered a lot of questions I was confused about! I love your creativity with the videos too 💯💯💯 Pls keep doing more of these videos Thank you!🙏
I Love Jaymikee and his Music too. God is really using you to bless Christians sir. The way he points out his thoughts and makes corrections without zeroing other people's point of view can only be done with the wisdom of God. Great stuff you are doing sir. 👏👍
My wedding, my playlist....he definitely would have told the DJ and if he didn't, any DJ invited to apostle Edu's wedding would have an idea of songs not to play... are they bad? No? Just preferences. As for his mannerism, maybe I am biased or I didn't hear well, but I didn't hear something negative...maybe how he said it. His wedding, his playlist...
Had a list of songs i repeatedly said i wanted for my wedding reception. That was more than 10 years ago😆 and im still waiting for that DJ to play those songs🙃
Some DJs just take pleasure in killing your joy by not following instructions. I had a similar embarrassing situation too at my wedding reception. We had listed the songs to be played and they were strictly gospel songs. While we were dancing in, I had to send my bestie yo them to change the song. The straw that broke the camel's back was when it was time to do couple dance, Uncle couldn't find the song I purposely sent to him to be played. He played something different. Mehn I was sad 😥. Till today I agree that there was no couple dance at my wedding reception 🤦
I agree with you on this. I'd like to add that as believers, the way we address issues should be with wisdom and a clear display of the mind of Christ. Because of this matter, so many people said hurtful and bitter things about the gospel minister and the Apostle, yet their bios read "Christian" May God help us. Thank you so much, Jay
Thank you so much JayMikee. This is so true 🔥 and I am so blessed already, just listening to this. I have also learnt a lot. God bless you for this. You are indeed a blessing to the body of Christ 😩🙌.
Romans 14 is a good place to begin. Genre differs and it's fine when the lyrics are not vulgar. Christian music is about God and His dealings with His people. Men of old sang theology, true. There is no Christian genre. We dance alot in Nigeria and some folks prefer hymnals. The beat and tune notwithstanding, we sing praise and worship God. Whatever music style you connect with is fine. Variety is the spice of life. Imposing our preferences on others tends toward immaturity. Thank you for this sir. Lovely perspective.
This was edifying. Thank you so much for sharing your take on this, it completely sums up my own thoughts on Christian music and their different purposes
Every song goes with a spirit. And it is very easy to know when the spirit of a song is patterned after the world. It is so sad that this generation is gradually loosing their bearing...
Thanks so much sir, for clearing the air all about the incident....... You always have the right words to put things in place relating to Christian matters.... God bless you 😇🤩
Love your insights and explanations. I quite agree with you. Many people have their expectations and plans concerning the songs they want for their wedding day which can affect their mood or level of satisfaction. And these should be considered and accepted by whoever it is that's in charge of the music for that day. God bless you greatly
😂😂😂 u are interesting sir. I celebrate your gift that u are. It's Jim Mikeee on beat. Am gonna play that song on my wedding day. My own thoughts is that most believers what to be all powerful and act like like gods forgetting we are on earth 🌎.
I love the context of your message. It's an edification to the Body of Christ. To me there's nothing wrong with Afro Gospel music. Some persons are not patient enough to go through some gospel lyrics or better still listen to song wordings. They just rightly condemn the song once they heard the intro hit or sound. Some personal opinions have eaten some persons not to be able see and receive what they want and belongs to them. Thanks 💞
I listen to Nathaniel bassey as much as I listen to Lecrae it's about mood environment and timing ..."wisdom is justified by its children". Thank you Sir J .am a fan too🙌
