It is no longer news that Nigerian popular female musician, Chidinma Ekile has abandoned secular music for gospel music.
The Kedike crooner, speaking on her decision, disclosed that her encounter with God led her to switch from worldly music to gospel music.
She said; “I had always known that someday I would do gospel music, because it is something I have had interest in for a long time.”
“I became a chorister at a young age, so I have been involved with gospel music for a long time. I did not know when exactly it would happen, but I knew would definitely happen.”
“The experience has been absolutely beautiful. Initially, I was skeptical about the experience I would have, but being here right now, I don’t think I would want to have it another way.”
“I have always known that I am a covenant child. My gift is primarily for God’s glory, and I have always wanted to work for Him. I was just waiting for the right time, and I think that time is now.”
“I had my convictions. I actually had a personal encounter with Jesus. I had always known about Jesus, but I experienced him myself, so it became a matter of a personal experience and conviction.”
“About how my family and other loved ones reacted when I decided to switch to gospel music… my family has always wanted me to do this. They are very excited, and I have enjoyed the full support of everyone.”
“Having a huge fan base is not as important as having peace of mind. The kind of peace I have had since I made the switch cannot be bought with money. My fulfillment and peace of mind are more important to me.”
“Besides, everyone needs God. The world needs Jesus, and I am more concerned about the souls of men who need to hear about the love of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. That is my priority now.”
