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
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
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.
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

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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...
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 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.
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!
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 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
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...
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.
Thank you so my hair for this clarity. I am blessed and glad. May the Lord fill you with more grace and help many Believers to be mature and well-developed. Amen.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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
Very Well Said. I believe God let that incident occur so that we rightly divide the word of truth and renew our minds on such matters. This video completely resonates with all the opinions I had previously made.
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. 👏👍
The height of your growth is revealed in the kind of music that speaks to your soul. All in all, when people grow in knowledge of God, their likes and dislikes begins to shift.
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
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
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 💞
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 😇🤩
As a Christian Musician and Aspiring Producer. I am happy at the way you first demystify Christian Music and Sounds. God bless you and preserve you sir. We all have different taste and Passion for music and sounds
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 😩🙌.
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 🤦
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
😂😂😂 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 🌎.
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
Sir with all due respect, you are a man of wisdom Woahhhhh You just dished wisdom here back to back The Holy Spirit will Keep on being your source and father
Thanks for this. It really helped solve a burdensome debate in my mind. And I'll also share the message to my Christian friends. Main point: There are different genres in Christian music
Anyways, my teenage daughter initiated my household into Jaymikee and Limoblaze And I must tell you, my reaction to Limoblaze song on my first hearing was alarming.. hahaha...I thought I've lost my girl to the world but then she said "Mummy, listen to the lyrics" and boom I signed in Limo Lol
I am a Christian sound engineer so I am always on the lookout for various genres of music that are Christian. And afrobeat is a favourite😁 Anyway there is a lot of argument that goes about genres that tend to be Christian, like R&B, Afrobeat, HipPop, Dancehall😅... and the others. Thanks though for this video.
God bless you Sir! Everything happens at a time for a reason! It is high time this issue is addressed and I guess it is the right time. There is no comparison. As a young Christian teenager i remember the first lyrics I ever wrote and how my group them maligned and murdered it because it did not sound a certain way they wanted.. for over 10years, I never wrote another song. Thank God for finding me and showing me there was nothing wrong with the lyrics I wrote then. Every song serves its purpose just like David's Psalms were inspired by how he felt at the point in time he wrote, likewise Solomon in writing the Song of Songs.. Same way, every genre of music within the Christian music serves its own purpose. Truly, I pray we stop the comparison & learn to appreciate and enjoy every sound for it's uniquness. Shalom.
Thank you so much. Interestingly, I just saw this here. I really align with all you have said. There's nothing that says this is how Christian songs should sound. What matters is that we are glorifying God in that and it's all unto the Lord. Thank you again. God bless you.
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🙌
I Love Apostle Edu and His ministry, I follow dem quite a lot, and I wish I didn't have to say this, but I hope smbody learn from it.. That kind of reaction he had in that video didn't start that day. What you don't deal with early, privately and fast will soon come and be a snare in your flesh or ministry. I won't say more than that. Either ways, He is good man. And we thank him for his many Sacrifices..
Thanks Jaymikee sir for being a balance. My take on the issue of mannerism, it is relative. Apostle responded to the degree of abhorring he had for that sound. As believers we have the right to abhor what we feel doesn't align to our spirit as led by the spirit. Rebukes are done in love but not sheepishly. Truthfully for me, not every spiritual song appeals to my spiritual fancy. That must have been the case for him. "That is not my song" could also mean that that is not my kind of playlist. And it was an offense to him. Secondly, if he had entertained that piece, another set of people who look up to him would have thought he now gives license to what they know him to always dislike. We should always see the secondary thoughts in issues. Thanks sir
There’s a lot of wisdom here. Bless you

I THINK, he meant he had a song he wanted.

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.
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.
@@ebereelizabeth2879 oops. So sorry to hear that
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
@@slaywithspea5037 well, that’s true. I dunno the full story so I tend not to judge anybody.
Before any judgement, we should see what happened before then and after
Am so happy the DJ make that mistake. If not, I could've not listening to this words. God bless you sir....#thanks_God_for_the_Grace
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...
Every time I listen to you I learn new things and pray for more wisdom Amen.
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 couldn't have said it better 🔥🔥
You are on point SIR.
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.
At my wedding, you play my preferred songs. Go and play your own at your wedding. It’s not that hard to understand, is it?
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!
Hmmmm
Thank you Sir
Hmmmm
Thank you Sir
Share the video to all of them alright..so everyone gets to see it
That’s exactly what I am going to do 💪
Its like u people don't know that some Gospel artist are actuallly working 4 satan
May God bless you for consistently defending and standing for the body of Christ as God has helped you 💕
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.
Rightly said sir!!!.
Thank you very much🙌
How I wish all Christian's can listen to this.
Funny contents too😄
Permit me to say "I LOVE YOU SIR".
Good Lord, I've learnt so much from this. I'm sharing this videeoo♥️🙇🏾♂️
This video called me to correction and damaged my ignorance. Thank you so much for this God bless you🙏🏾
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!
Would love to hear your music. Any links to them?
Same question, plug your music here !
Thanks so much for the comments...
Here is a link to one of our songs below 😊

@@obedasare1564 th-cam.com/video/FXmMnHbSDrM/w-d-xo.html
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
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...
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.
Thank you so my hair for this clarity. I am blessed and glad. May the Lord fill you with more grace and help many Believers to be mature and well-developed. Amen.
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.
Thanks for the knowledge Sir. God will continue to increase you in wisdom IJN
There is so much wisdom in what you shared….I personally learnt from what you shared….Thank you for sharing.
Daddy Jaymikee. Thank you so much for this Great ENLIGHTENMENT.
You're a blessing to this body of Christ
Thank you so much sir ❤️🙌
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.
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.
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
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 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
God bless you so much Jaymikee for this. This generation is blessed to have you
Very Well Said.
I believe God let that incident occur so that we rightly divide the word of truth and renew our minds on such matters.
This video completely resonates with all the opinions I had previously made.
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. 👏👍
Thank you sir.
The height of your growth is revealed in the kind of music that speaks to your soul. All in all, when people grow in knowledge of God, their likes and dislikes begins to shift.
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
Thanks for sharing.......keep it loud always.
You are needed in this Generation.
God Bless you,l
Thanks for this sincere thought... Love you more Sir...
Sir,you've said the right thing.may God continue to enrich with words of wisdom.
Every one has a choice to their test of Music 🎶
Thank you Jay
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
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 💞
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 😇🤩
Edifying, hilarious and awesome Sir
Such a blessing to this generation of ours
As a Christian Musician and Aspiring Producer. I am happy at the way you first demystify Christian Music and Sounds. God bless you and preserve you sir. We all have different taste and Passion for music and sounds
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 😩🙌.
I celebrate you sir. Absolutely love your review, you addressed this in the most constructive way, utterly apt.. God bless you!
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 🤦
Points on point!. Different songs for different season and mood. The Bible recognised the presence of different seasons!.
Jaymikee's editing skills are great. Welldone sir 🙇🏽♀️
After seeking enough knowledge from the spirit of God, then they can seek for power. We really need such men.
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
I love the way Jaymikee passes he's message.......... He gives the interesting vibe and pass he's message well.
God bless you sir
The editing 💯🥺 Background effects 💯🙌 All sweet and timely.. I celebrate you Sir 🎉😍❤️
More grace bro J. Winning souls also involves what you're doing. Am really grateful. Our Yeshuwa bless you
😂😂😂 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 🌎.
Thank you sir for the clearity, God almighty continue to bless you abundantly in Jesus name Amen
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
Sir with all due respect, you are a man of wisdom
Woahhhhh
You just dished wisdom here back to back
The Holy Spirit will Keep on being your source and father
You've nailed it. God bless you sir.
I didn't see the original video, but I heard the comments and views on the video. I love this video so much! Bless you!
Haha...thanks a lot sir🥰 this was insightful.
The bullet sound tho , that part got me lmaooo😂😂😂😂😂
I so much respect Min Joshua Mike Bamiloye . You make Christianity fun !
Thanks for this. It really helped solve a burdensome debate in my mind. And I'll also share the message to my Christian friends.
Main point: There are different genres in Christian music
I can't imagine somebody saying OMO BABA is not a Christian song .
Sir @joshua Mike
God bless you thank you for reminding us
Anyways, my teenage daughter initiated my household into Jaymikee and Limoblaze
And I must tell you, my reaction to Limoblaze song on my first hearing was alarming.. hahaha...I thought I've lost my girl to the world but then she said "Mummy, listen to the lyrics" and boom I signed in Limo
Lol
First time coming across your channel...
and I must say that you know precisely what you're talking about..
Subscribed!
I am a Christian sound engineer so I am always on the lookout for various genres of music that are Christian. And afrobeat is a favourite😁 Anyway there is a lot of argument that goes about genres that tend to be Christian, like R&B, Afrobeat, HipPop, Dancehall😅... and the others. Thanks though for this video.
God bless you Sir!
Everything happens at a time for a reason! It is high time this issue is addressed and I guess it is the right time. There is no comparison. As a young Christian teenager i remember the first lyrics I ever wrote and how my group them maligned and murdered it because it did not sound a certain way they wanted.. for over 10years, I never wrote another song. Thank God for finding me and showing me there was nothing wrong with the lyrics I wrote then.
Every song serves its purpose just like David's Psalms were inspired by how he felt at the point in time he wrote, likewise Solomon in writing the Song of Songs.. Same way, every genre of music within the Christian music serves its own purpose.
Truly, I pray we stop the comparison & learn to appreciate and enjoy every sound for it's uniquness. Shalom.
And the gunshots 😅😅. This was so well said.
Thank you so much. Interestingly, I just saw this here. I really align with all you have said. There's nothing that says this is how Christian songs should sound. What matters is that we are glorifying God in that and it's all unto the Lord. Thank you again. God bless you.
Thank you so much Sir for putting up this video.
It's well balanced, and enlightening.
God bless you so much JayMike. May the oil on your heard no run dry. So balanced and enlightening. God bless you real good!
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🙌
Die hard Lecrae Fan here ✌🏽
Infact the whole 116 crew 😎
And on some other days, I just love it slow and soft 🥱
More wisdom from above IJMN AMEN
Oh my days😣😣😣...
I love you soooo much JayMikee...
God bless you greatly for the LIGHT...
I was a victim of this mentality until now.
Couldn't resist the urge to comment, Thanks for this outline! JayMikee on the beat 👏👏👏🔥
There's a way it settled every part of it
God has indeed blessed you with SO MUCH WISDOM, Sir!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH Sir!!!
I love Limoblaze sense of humour😅😅
I think you have answered a question that has been pending for years. Well done Baba JayMikeee👐👐👐👐 God bless you.
You always deliver well, Sir. Well done 👏.
I Love Apostle Edu and His ministry, I follow dem quite a lot, and I wish I didn't have to say this, but I hope smbody learn from it..
That kind of reaction he had in that video didn't start that day. What you don't deal with early, privately and fast will soon come and be a snare in your flesh or ministry. I won't say more than that.
Either ways, He is good man. And we thank him for his many Sacrifices..
Thanks Jaymikee sir for being a balance. My take on the issue of mannerism, it is relative. Apostle responded to the degree of abhorring he had for that sound. As believers we have the right to abhor what we feel doesn't align to our spirit as led by the spirit. Rebukes are done in love but not sheepishly. Truthfully for me, not every spiritual song appeals to my spiritual fancy. That must have been the case for him. "That is not my song" could also mean that that is not my kind of playlist. And it was an offense to him. Secondly, if he had entertained that piece, another set of people who look up to him would have thought he now gives license to what they know him to always dislike. We should always see the secondary thoughts in issues. Thanks sir
Well put!👏🏽💯
I love you sir. Thank you for clearing the confusion. God bless you sir.
