While secular artists sing merely to entertain on a stage, they appeal to the emotions of their listeners, Gospel artists have more work to do and by their flesh, they can do little or nothing of that work. Hence the dependence on the Holy Spirit for inspiration and God-breathed lyrics.
Many songs and artists have emerged over time and somehow, because of what fans think of one, some other Gospel artists try to spice up what they do just in order to impress the fans but gospel music goes beyond impressing the cheering crowd to blessing the soul.
Howbeit, in this world of competition, there have been numerous Gospel artists who have maintained the mandate of true and sincere worship of God alone via their albums or tracks. They are the ones who see beyond the cheers of the teeming fans to the essence of the gifts that they received from God.
Amongst these people are so many, we will list out a few of them who have made it to the spotlight and have become useful tools in God’s hands to bless His people.
