MUST READ!! My Experience With Secular Music – Pastor E.A Adeboye

My Experience With Secular Music – Pastor E.A Adeboye In the late 1970s, I was an ardent fan of Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, and Fela. As a young Christian, I saw nothing wrong in listening to their songs. I kept enjoying the vibes from their albums until one fateful day I attended an evening bible study. The teacher instructed “that all secular music records must leave your house”, using 1 John 2:15-17 as a basis. I struggled in my spirit and was not willing to accept this.

You cannot soak yourself in prayer like that and will not manifest power… When u stay alone with God, when you comeout, you carry God…. On prayer, I want the youths to know these: Prayer is the voice that moves the earth. Any man that doesn’t pray will never sail in life. May God teach us how to pray. M...
