Unchangeable God - Ayokunle

Ayokunle is a dear friend and brother of mine, a young man with a heart that yearns after God.A Lagos bred indigene of Delta state and zoology student of the University of Lagos,He is passionate about seeing Gods kingdom established in his time and he contributes to that establishment by using his gifts of music (which are really awesome by the way).

Over the years, he has grown in the art of singing and worship leading, doing it with a visible sincerity and an unmistakable presence. With influences from gospel greats like Nathaniel Bassey,Sinach,Kim Walker-Smith and Hillsong, he has been able to create a sound that is unique and vibrant, resounding easily and running deep in the heart of the listener. Predominantly focused on the Soft rock, genre, He stands out in his songs with simplicity and ease of flow. Ayokunle who has been writing songs for the past 3-4 years, believes that worship goes beyond the songs we sing or the actions we take, it is all about a heart that is reaching for and connected to God, this connection being expressed in various ways including music.

He says
‘Worship is a matter of the heart first, to me it’s a real connection between God and man, there may be varying means to establishing that connection, hence music comes in as a tool, but it is not worship in itself, music is just one of the various vehicles to worship. I believe if you sing all the songs in the world and dance till your back aches and it’s not founded upon a heart connection, you’re just making noise.

This connection is what he offers in his latest single ‘Unchangeable God’. ‘Unchangeable God’ is his second recorded single, the first single being the ‘Ephesian song’ released early last year. ‘Unchangeable God’ is a firm declaration of trust and dependence in the nature and consistency of our God. It focuses on the undeniable attributes of God upon which an unwavering faith can be built.

Speaking on the inspiration behind song he said,
‘I have this conviction that God is not the ‘Great I was’ neither is he the ‘Great I am going to be’ but in every dispensation, He remains the Great I AM.I started to look at the great miracles and breakthroughs of old and I became persuaded that God is still the same GREAT and POWERFUL God He has always been, hence the song ‘Unchangeable God’.

Produced by ace producer QaseBeatz, ‘Unchangeable God’ is a rock song with a very likeable feel that simply deepens the worshipper’s experience. From the intro-verse to the chorus and the vamp, it is laced with so many precious moments that just makes you want to lift your hands and glorify God. With just one listen, you’re sure to recognise the resounding melody for its ‘sing-along-ability’, the hook in the vamp that just keeps it playing in your head, long after the song is over( trust me you can’t resist the urge to keep it on replay). The song features really smooth vocals, vibrant instrumentation and some indigenous lines which make it all the more closer to heart.

Speaking on the song, he says,
My desire is that people become more conscious of who God is, I do not want ‘Hand-Me-Down’ experiences of God, but personal ones, for those who are weary in believing, they’d be strengthened. To sum it up, I desire a real connection between the hearer and God and not a connection with my voice'

And that experience and connection is lavishly offered on ‘Unchangeable God’, which is a great listen for anyone desirous of a refreshing worship time.

Ayokunle who is also the convener of the annual worship concert Serenade, which focuses on gathering young people with a burning desire for God, for a time of extreme worship with reckless abandon, believes we are in a new season where God is raising up men and women for his glory, and is glad to be part of it,

I believe God is raising generals and worship leaders that will ascribe the focus of worship to Him and away from human accolades and celebration, because he is the reason were doing this. I yearn for a time where not just worship leaders but everyone will be connected to God whether there’s a leader or not.

So waste no time, relieve this experience and be part of that move with the song Unchangeable God.Do let us know what you love most about the song, and your experience while listening to it, we would be delighted to hear your views.

#HealthMonday: The challenge of lung cancer

The challenge of lung cancer November marks lung cancer awareness month. Lung cancer is a leading cause for cancer deaths in the world and is strongly correlated with smoking. Although the rates of lung cancer in sub-Saharan Africa is lower vs. the rest of the world, it is still important to discuss especially as the rates of tobacco use in Africa is on the rise - if the smoking rate continues to climb, dealing with tobacco-related illnesses such as lung cancer will become more common. Furthermore, secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in people who have never smoked themselves. Symptoms Lung cancer may not produce any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. In many people diagnosed with lung cancer, diagnosis is made after the disease has advanced. As many of these symptoms are general, many people don't suspect lung cancer. And by the time they see a doctor, often the cancer has already started to spread. Risk factors While the

Relationship: Watch Your Friends - Aidy Thomas

Image
You need me, I need you is a life’s philosophy no one can dispute. Man was never created to be an Island: dependence and mutual existence has been a cord holding life and world together. Nations with nations, continents with others, the need to tap and learn from each other has grown the world to a global village. Opening doors for people of other races to live in your domain means you value what they’ve got and are ready to share yours with them too. A person who claims to be friends only with self will either be extremely poor or too frustrated to stay alive  —we need each other. People make you great; others make you feel great, even the high and mighty will not be so if there were no subordinates to stoke their ego. If there were no people to admire, jealous, celebrate and notice your progress, the motivation to achieve would be gone. Now, with this level of desire and need for someone to call a friend, you need to be extremely careful to choose who to share your precious
