Infact leave am like that.

I think the argument that “ADML” doesn’t glorify God comes more from expecting gospel music to SOUND a certain way than from actually reading the lyrics.

The song repeatedly says: “God don help am,”

The question is: Who gets the glory?

[Lekan Olayinka @lekan_olayinka1]

ADML by Greatman Takit should not be sung in churches as praise.

I was in my boss’ car on the way to a shoot when I heard it.

I thought it was a secular song until I discovered that Takit was the artist.

It is not a gospel song. It is a song about self-actualization.

That is not wrong in itself, but it is not an incense to God.

Praise is not something for our excitement.

I saw the choir of a church performing that song yesterday, and the whole place erupted.

I sighed because the Nigerian church keeps getting it wrong.

We have put ourselves at the centre of liturgy, doctrine, and ecclesiology.

Practically everything is now configured, engineered, and steered to excite and evoke, so that we can say we had a good experience in church.

That retains the crowd. But what about God?

Praise is His due, and it is to be done in holiness. It comes from the Trisagion of the seraphim around the throne:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts.”— Isaiah 6:3

This is why the Psalmist says:

“Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.”— Psalm 29:2

Praise is about God. Did Scripture not say, “Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion”?

“Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion;
And to You the vow shall be performed.”— Psalm 65:1

But we have injected ourselves into it.

It is worrying, but God is on the throne. Things will be better.

ADML is not a praise song. It should not be on the pulpit.

[Don Shada @shadcee]

The lyrics are essentially a testimony:
“Dem fire arrow to me, see as God dey block am.”
That is remarkably consistent with Eph 6:16, which speaks of the “fiery darts of the wicked.”
Then: “Sapa come for me, I survive.”
Pslm 34:19 the LORD delivers the righteous from afflictions.

[Don Shada @shadcee]

Biblical praise isn't limited to solemn worship songs.
David danced “before the LORD with all his might” (2 Sam. 6:14), and Exo 15 is literally a song celebrating God's victory.
So we can debate the sound or style of ADML, but saying it doesn't glorify God ignores its actual msg.

[Don Shada @shadcee]

“Jericho be fighting, but Oluwa to be very mighty.”
Who brought down Jericho? God.
Joshua 6:2: “See, I have given into thine hand Jericho.”
The song isn't saying, “Look how powerful I am.” It's saying, “Look how powerful my God is.”

@cyber_orakle @ms___dale True! Just pray for the right engineers. Most of them can't match the level of intelligence applied in building the Ford. Imagine using a car for years and not knowing it can be turned on/off with the remote because Ford doesn't advertise it's features. Just silent brains.
