What happened to the Natural, unadulterated, Fresh gospel music/songs
that used to be (at least specifically and particularly in the East African
Region where I come from; Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda etc.)?
This idea of Gospel musicians
with their Lips “Red-lipsticked”, where did it come from?
This idea of Gospel musicians
with “Bling Bling”, where did it come from?
Where is the distinction of
the Gospel Music from the Music of the World?
Even amongst those who sang
and produced some very Powerful Gospel music/songs in 1990s, early 2000s
(somewhere around 2000-2006 etc) etc, of late if they produce a Gospel
music/song you find some of them all over a sudden “Red-lipsticked” as they
sing in the videos OR their skin is bleached so that they appear “yellow
yellow”. Who said the anointing in the Gospel Music/song so as to touch the
listeners/viewers has got to do with being “Yellow Yellow” or “Red-Lipsticked”
or “Bling Bling”?
In this day and age (in the
last decade; particularly from 2010 onwards), it is very rare to find a Truly
inspiring Gospel Music/Song being sung (produced), at least specifically and
particularly in the region mentioned above.
Yes, it’s the age of You Tube,
Ultra HD & 4K, but shouldn’t there be a more presentable way of maintaining
the Respectable and Godly mannerism in Video appearance in Singing Gospel
Music, without “Red-Lipsticks”, “bleaching to Yellow Yellow” and the “Bling
Blings” etc.?
Please, Take us back to The
Original Gospel songs/music; The Gospel with a deep-rooted Message of The LORD.
Please, Take us back to The
Primitive Gospel music/songs, that was not sugar-coated or adulterated with
“Yellow Yellow bleaching”, “Red-Lipsticked”, “Bling Bling” etc.
Please, Take us back to The
Gospel music/songs of/from the heart, and stop this “Gospel” songs/music of the
Flesh on display.
Please, Take us back to The
Gospel music/songs of The Spirit (Holy Spirit-filled), and stop this “Gospel”
songs/music of “noise” and showbiz.
Please, Take us back to the
days when Gospel music/songs was/were really Gospel Music/songs.
We Love Gospel Music/Songs, We
Love to Sing unto The LORD, Just Take us back to the Original, unadulterated,
Natural, Fresh and Primitive (Basic Foundational) Gospel songs/music that was
Holy Spirit-filled, Heart-centered, Heavenly-centered, Christ-centered,
Presented in a Godly manner (Video or no video).
Let us Return to The True
Gospel Music/Songs, that we may Worship The LORD and Praise The LORD in Truth
and in Spirit, in Reverence and in Holiness, in Respect and in Honour of The
LORD.
SHALOM!!!
Psalm
29: 1-2 ‘“Give
unto The LORD, O you mighty ones, Give unto The LORD glory and strength. Give
unto The LORD the glory due to His name; Worship The LORD in the beauty of
holiness.”’
Psalm
66: 1-4 ‘“Make
a joyful shout to God, all the earth! Sing out the honor of His name; Make His
praise glorious. Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness
of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. All the earth shall
worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.”’
Psalm
96: 1-7 ‘“Oh,
sing to The LORD a new song! Sing to The LORD, all the earth. Sing to The LORD,
bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For The
LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For
all the gods of the peoples are idols, But The LORD made the heavens. Honor and
majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. Give to The
LORD, O families of the peoples, Give to The LORD glory and strength.”’
Malachi
2:17 ‘“You have
wearied The LORD with your words; Yet you say, “In what way have we wearied
Him?” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil Is good in the sight of The
LORD, And He delights in them,” Or, “Where is the God of justice?”’
PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD.
JESUS CHRIST (THE MESSIAH) IS COMING TO PICK HIS REPENTANT, HOLY, RIGHTEOUS,
WISE AND FAITHFUL SONS AND DAUGHTERS (THE BRIDE OF CHRIST).
