Nigerian gospel music minister, Tolulope Onakpoya has encouraged Nigerians to keep hope alive and ensure they serve and obey God almighty, He would turn things around despite current challenges.

Onakpoya explained that the transformative power of love and gratitude to God, stressing its ability to change lives and the world.

She made this call at the 5th edition of Prophetic Praise concert to commemorate her 40th birthday celebration with the theme:Sound of Rejoicing.

“According to her, it was an evening of powerful praise and worship, seeking divine intervention and inspiration for a better life.”

Many anointed vessels and minstrels like Esther Osaji, Chigozie wisdom, Big Bolaji, Tee praise, minister prudence, Goshen voices, Evangelist Gideon Ayodele Oluwasina, Brenda Joseph and Dupe Ige. Guest appearance Woli Arole graced the concert.

Narrating her journey,she said in a state where hope is near elusive and assurances of provisions, survival and well-being are best imagined, our only source of inspiration, joy and support is God. He remains the only Anchor on whom we lean.

Continuing, Onakpoya said, ” I am a product of single parents, my brother and I were left in the village, mal-nourished. We suffered so much that my brother passed on. It was remaining two weeks for me to live but God rescued me from death”.

Speaking at the annual concert, she said, “I was at Yaba market trying to making hair for survival when God instructed her to serve Him. She obeyed and was on the street for two years but I will go to church seven days in a week. God Almighty bless the work of my hands and prosper me.

She affirms that the spiritual event has become huge as only positive reviews have trailed it. Adding that Prophetic Praise is not just a concert for the convergence of gospel artistes but a gracious opportunity to appreciate God for His faithfulness and in return anticipate generous responses from Him.

Onakpoya further said that I have experience unusually massive divine visitations and encounters from God. Strange testimonies have been recorded both during the events and after by individual attendees and their families. Some of these testimonies revolve around healings, favours, promotions at work places, blessings of the womb, divine encounters, broken generational curses, to mention a few.

” Prophetic Praise would served as the platform to rejoice and receive from Him. Worshipers have returned from the concert better energized, more fulfilled, blessed, received tangible miracles, healings, provisions, promotions and much more spiritually inclined and better disposed to nation building. It is also an avenue for connection, friendship, relationships in the body of Christ wax stronger and the nation becomes better off.

It was another thrilling moment of praise and worship God in a most congenial atmosphere, a time of great visitation and manifestation of God’s power and move in a strange dimension.
