What praise can do — Singer
Gospel singer, Bisi Ladipo, has urged Nigerians to keep praising God, even in difficult times, to achieve a positive turnaround.
The Founder of Xtianan Global Praise Ministry (XGPM) made the assertion at the inauguration of her ministry in Lagos, on Sunday.
The unveiling of the outfit, to encourage upcoming artists and promote praise concerts, was held at the Covenant House Church of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Victoria Island, Lagos.
“Nothing says we cannot achieve the healing of our land by praising Him faithfully, as the scriptures say praise makes the earth yield its increase,” she said.
Ladipo described praise as the easiest means to commune with God and get result, urging people to praise God in all conditions for His benevolence to mankind.
The singer, also Convener of the Praise Quake 2024, said that the inauguration of her initiative was a vision that had come to reality.
She said that the ministry would beam its searchlight on university campuses, with a view to bringing to the fore angelic voices lying fallow in the institutions.
“The outfit will use every platform to advance songs of upcoming artists to global stardom to the glory of God.
“I will use the outfit to preach the gospel to people irrespective of faith, as our target is thanks and appreciation to God.
“I am a witness to what praise can be used to achieve. God’s intention for human creation is no other thing than for people to worship and praise Him,” she said.
She thanked her husband, Mr Tunde Ladipo, retired Deputy Comptroller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, for standing by her dream.
Pastor Kingsley Ogbonna, who performed the inauguration, charged the outfit to win souls for Christ with the ministry.
Ogbonna mandated the group to fill the global gospel music space with praise songs that would make it gain global accolades to the glory of God.
“God poured out his spirit on humans to choose in which area to serve Him.
“The praise ministry has fallen on our sister Bisi, it is my prayer that God give her the needed oil to triumph to stardom,” he said.
The event, an exposure to soul-lifting songs from various singers and bands that thrilled the audience, had friends and associates of the singer, among others, in attendance.
