I have always been a church boy, never missed service– Gospel Music Singer Timi Dakolo
Renowned singer, songwriter, and music producer, Timi Dakolo, has described himself as a “church boy”, who hardly misses Sunday service.
He stated this at a press briefing about the “Jesus+Nothing” concert organised by Love of God in Christ Church in Lagos on Friday.
“I am a member of this church. This is my father’s house. Sometimes I wonder why I am like this. I will explain it in one phrase. When the Prodigal Son was coming home, did he ask him five steps? Did he even tell you about Faith before you saw your father? It is my father’s house. I have always been a church boy.
“I have always loved Jesus. I have always praised him. I have always wanted to know more about God. You will never catch me anywhere on Sunday morning if not in God’s house, because we know where we are coming from,” the 2007 Idols West Africa winner emphasised.
The Lead Pastor and Apostolic Head of LOGIC Church, Apostle Flourish Peters, explained that the “Jesus+Nothing” concert, which will be held at Lekki, Lagos, aimed to celebrate Jesus Christ’s blood, death, and resurrection and save souls.
According to the clergy, resurrection is the essence of the Christian faith, noting that without the empty grave, there is no Christian faith.
“Our faith is premised on the grave being empty. We have over 4,000 religions out there, but only one empty grave. That is what makes our faith stand out.
“This is the only religion that the person we worship lives in us. We have inside of us the person we worship,” he asserted.

He noted that there were many concerts organised by Christians, and many of them do not emphasise the work of redemption of Jesus Christ.
“They have done great work pushing out the message of God’s grace. What we want to do a little differently is to target a Good Friday evening when people are home and sing about redemption. Sing about the blood of Jesus and what Christ has done for us. We want to sing about redemption,” he mentioned.
Gospel singer Neon Adejo also said that when he joined the church, he had fewer than 300,000 streams, but he had now gone global.
“Some of us had the privilege of reaching out to more than 300 million people. We had the privilege to travel all across the nation. We had the privilege of being in a label that is like the number one gospel group in the world.
“It all started in this house. You should know that when we are doing such a thing, we are not just caring for our own children. Some of us already have that global presence,” he enunciated.
Other artistes who will be ministering at the “Jesus+Nothing” concert are Greatman Takit, Noble G, SMJ, MagPslam, Steve Hills, Lily Perez, etc.
Others are Joxie, Anderson Qozan, Pastor Victor Paul, EmekaSongz, Flo, Dorcas Moore, Magpsalms, Mera Owili, Gerald Bishung, Phebe Lion, and the vibrant Evolution Children’s Choir.
