The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added… No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things.
They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.
God has been faithful indeed.
It is in this light that rising Gospel artiste, Kelvin has released this brand new thanksgiving song titled ”You Do Well”.

In times of trouble,in times of pain,in times of sorrows

Christian Eze is from the order of a levitical priesthood. His background has been laid in the foundation of service to God from his biological father who happens to be a serving pastor in Assemblies Of God Church.
According to him, ”The song ‘Love’ was born out of the realization of the finished work of Christ for humanity. It was in December 2015 at the International Faith Conference (IFC) held at Mobile Throne International Christian Centre (Benin City), that it became clear that our existence is not a function of our strength but the love of Christ. Some people would have been long lost in the wrong direction bit it is the love of God that keeps pulling them back. That’s why I boldly said that God’s love is stronger that death, deeper than the ocean and higher than any mountain.
Death works in the confines of time but God’s love is eternal (everlasting, irrevocable).
When the knowledge of a thing is unknown, abuse is inevitable. Ignorance of the love of God towards us tends to make us abuse it.
This song expresses what God’s love has empowered us to be and it expresses the unimaginable love that God has lavished on us.
I pray that through this song, men will come to the understanding of God’s love for us and reciprocate this amazing gift of love lavished on us from God”. – Christian Eze

This song will not only bless your soul, it will take your Christian living to a whole new level as we trust the Spirit of Christ to breath on its words and minister it’s truth to you.
You took hold of me so I can take hold of you
Jesus, You are my future
You’re all I wanna be
You’re the goal I wanna reach
Jesus, you’re the me that I see
When you open my eyes to see you in scripture
I am amazed at the beauty unspeakable you have in store
I want nothing more but
Chorus:
Jesus Jesus
Verse 2
I press towards the mark
For the prize of the higher calling
Jesus, You are my prize
Forgetting what’s behind me to win what’s ahead of me
Jesus, You’re the prime of my life
You have made known to me mystery of your will
That in the fullness of time
You will gather in one all things in Christ
Oh that I may be found in
Chorus:
Jesus Jesus
Vamp:
Oh Oh Oh Uh
Jesus
Verse 3
Whom have I in heavenly places but thee
Jesus, You are my portion
There’s nothing on earth I desire but thee
Jesus you are my world
My flesh and my heart may fail
Lord you are the strength of my heart
Even when all my faith is gone away
The one I can call is…

Legendary Roots singer and pianist, Liz McComb, has been thrilling audiences throughout the world, and France in particular, for the last forty years with her unique fusion of Jazz and Blues-inspired gospel music. She’s even shared stages with Andrea Boccelli, The Blind Boys of Alabama and B.B. King but, at her core, she’s still the Cleveland, Ohio church girl who grew up loving the Christmas season and dreaming of recording a holiday album. Five decades later, the dream has finally been realized with, “Merry Christmas” (GVE/CE Music: SLRP $9.99), which released on all major digital platforms in the United States and Canada on November 24th. The physical album bows December 1st – McComb’s birthday – on Amazon.com and the www.LizMcComb.com website.
On the 13-track collection, McComb imbues the project with a nakedly acoustic aura that’s permeates piano-based cuts such as Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song,” as well as, the guitar-centered ones such as a redo of Jose Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad.” The set includes bluesy spirituals such as “Walk in the Light,” a feverish “Joy to the World” and a playful carol, “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” In a recent Downbeat magazine article, Frank John Hadley hailed McComb “a wonder” and writes that, “Liz McComb sings the carols and spirituals…with a conviction rooted in her experience growing up in an African-American church… Her supple, limber voice conveys not only religious devotion but also the more secular warmth of the season.” Link: http://ift.tt/2mW6dSj
McComb has sung in churches since the age of three. After singing with the Daughters of Zion gospel group during her teens, she moved to Manhattan to become a Broadway star but ended up in Europe touring with the Jean Austin Singers and then in The Roots of Rock `N’ Roll Revue where she opened for the legendary gospel singer, Bessie Griffin. Since the 1980s, McComb has been stationed in Paris where she’s thought of as modern-day Mahalia Jackson for her earthy performances that have led her to headline France’s biggest cathedrals and concert venues such as Palais des Sports. She’s recorded more than a dozen albums for labels such as Sony and EMI. She’s also performed on concert bills with Ray Charles, James Brown, Taj Mahal and other musical luminaries.
Saying ‘Thank You’ was something we learned as kids. Some of us learned the hard way and most of us didn’t really like it but we said anyway cos’ it made the grown-ups happy; at least that’s what it seemed like. Looking back at 2017 and it’s numerous twist and turns which I like to call ‘adventures’, Psalm 136 couldn’t be more correct! Saying ‘thank you’ now comes easy because though it all, I have learnt to trust God differently, let go of situations more easily and worry a little less than usual.
‘Because Of You’ is a song born out of deep reflection and a personal experience. We hope this gift from Singer and saxophonist, November (@bukkynovember) blesses you as much so sit back, relax and let her take us on a musical journey. #Bless…

ABOUT ALMIRA
Osadolor Deborah Osadebame popularly known as Almira was born in Lagos, Nigeria. She hails from Edo state, South-South region of Nigeria. Her father, Archbishop Peter Okoduwa, is a minister in The Pentecostal Church (Dispensational Gospel Mission) and from an early age she developed a love for both music and drumming.
She was inspired when she saw Michael W. Smith, a prominent gospel musical icon in concert over twenty years ago and since then, her passion for music has grown and translated into various musical experiences. In her early years, she developed a rather uncommon interest for rock music and began listening, imitating and playing to the music of Michael W. Smith, Sinach, Kirk Whalum, and other rock luminaries.
Her zeal for music made her join the choir (The Voice of Grace Choir, Lagos) at the age of 8. About that time, Almira was training and learning the jazz drum which led to becoming the assistant drummer in the church where she grew spiritually.Over time, Almira began sensing a deep yearning within; there was more to her music than she thought.
She diligently took time to seek the Lord under the Mentorship and guidance of Pastor Osideko Precious in Christ Embassy under the Love World Ministry for about four years while studying at the University of Lagos. She moved to RCCG (The Redeemed Christian Church of God) after school where she is currently serving God and where she developed an intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
She realized that music was more than an item to fill a space in time but a calling in the Lord’s vine yard. After many trying periods, her music ministry was born and for Almira, the main thrust was PRAISE & WORSHIP; one that ministered exclusively to the Lord and an avenue through which HE related with His people. Her singing style has since ushered many in concerts and churches into the presence of the LORD.
Almira, a graduate of the University of Lagos, is a mother and a wife. She is also a recording artist and loves to see music as an expression of God’s word to his people. She currently has songs like Alagbara, Anamefe, Me and You, Prayer amongst others. The experience has been described as a spiritual and Artistic masterpiece with the hit track a soft-rock tune currently generating so much interest.

Kylie Bokolo has just released a brand new song off her debut album “Because of You”. The song “Imela” was produced by Wilson Joel.
Imela is a song from a place of gratitude, derived in the midst of stormy seasons where praise prevailed against odds, Laying all down to the most high God whose mercy is ever new, His glory defiles facts, conquering the impossible and bringing faith to reality.
