Every man eventually gets his calling some day. So these artists have gotten a new calling in music.

They were all yet to encounter Jesus before moving from church to the world. They were Christians because their parents go to the church. Up till now they are all yet to meet Jesus

@ OP, ask yourself this question; how does the Pastor or Church view an instrumentalist? Okay, lemme put it this way, does the church try to nurture these wonderful people or rather see them as a "tool" to be used just like your screwdriver-you use it and throw it somewhere only for you to need it again and go look for it? I was listening to Sola Allyson's interview on the radio one day when she was asked her take on secular music. She said and I quote, "most of the churches will invite you to come and minister and after you're done, they say thank you God bless you that you can go. They wouldn't give you anything and even if they do, it wouldn't be enough to even take care of your transport, because they will tell you it's God's work(believe me, I know she's referring to my church in particular, and you would know this if you attend my church, hint: she used to attend my church) but I have married men working with my band and only have this job as their career, am I going to tell them to feed their wife and kids with "God's work"?".
Point is, it is still part of the negligence and absence of unconditional love of the church that we have these gifts doing secular.
I don't attend Christ Embassy, but, She's doing a great deal of job for her gifts and you would hardly find her gifts doing secular.
Remember, a vessel can't left unused and if you don't fill it with want you want, that which you do not want will surely fill it, one way or the other.
cool

Perfect place for me to say my mind. I usually play the keyboard for my church and various churches (still do). Me and my drummer have formed a formidable partnership. However, some years back we started playing in a uniques style, something quite similar to small doctor's current style of music. One day our church pastor came to me and told me he doesn't like the way i play because of the style we play. I was pissed i just said ok. From that day i decided to move on with my music life. Now i work in a studio on part time basis and I'm glad. My style has improved tremendously and I'm happy for myself. Even though I might not make so much money from doing music but i am happy doing it because i so much love it.

because you are famous don't stop you from your normal church activities. Some even claim too busy, because the their back alert is fat. Some of them lack understanding. especially those that broke out from the choir
most times I don't blame dis guys. most churches look down on secular entertainers. dey fail to look at it like a normal occupation. pple in oda works of life attend to pple of different religious beliefs and pple hardly make a fuss of it but if a musician sings for pple of different religious beliefs everyone wants to condemn him. the reasons y musicians leave d church are not far fetched.
1 funding- most churches are not willing to release money to support their gospel musicians. Gospel musicians hardly get endorsement deals which is a major source of income for a secular musician.
2. Gospel musicians are singing abt Christ so their life most be Christlike. Therefore any behavior dat depicts otherwise may cause u to lose ur fans. in secular music , having baby mama's has become d other of d day and dis has not caused deir fans to reduce in any way. it is easier to be a secular musician dan a gospel musician

How many church have a Record Label like Christ Embassy that can manage their artistes and promote them to the mainstream audience ? why have Sinnach not left LoveWorld Records ? let the church build Record Labels to Promote Gospel Acts.

Music is more than singing, it has to be promoted a Record label is one channel through which music is promoted, how many church have world class music studios / instruments ?

At least one interesting post
Unless an until we promote our own, they will keep leaving in droves
If we don't give them the avenue to harness their potential, the world would offer them more

Churches would rather buy anointing oil with their money than to invest in their burden talents

In church, the stage is too small to contain more than one star: the Pastor.
Re: Why Should Artistes Leave Church For Stardom? by Tobechuckwu(m): 6:29pm On Jun 11, 2017
No platform for them in nowadays churches!
I av frnds nd pple dat are gospel artistes up till date.These pple wen I was in skool,dey do performed every Sunday during service.So many guys got talents,nd dey need a platform to showcase God's gift in them.
Wats d secret of Frank Edwards,Sinach,Tim Godfrey, Samsong,Eben,Ada,Mr Buchi etc,platform to showcase God's gift.
Wat abt gospel rappers?Pple c dem as worldly pple.Wat if God gives u a gift of rapping to minister to pple,u nid a platform to use it.
Some churches are helping dese talents,but we nid more from other churches.I'm not mentioning church names here bcuz we are all one.
I was amazed d day I saw my frnd live on stage with Pastor Chris,tears of joy was just rolling down.
Church help our talented young not to leave anymore, give dem a helping hand,Please!
We nid to also pray for churches to see this as a way of fulfilling God's purpose on earth.

Talents everywhere, the church should realized that music is one of the best way to propagate the Gospel of Christ.
Most churches have choirs that have talented singers in them,
Most churches are wealthy enough to own a Record Label, with their connections they can promote their Artistes via the medias esp Social Medias.
We don't think well in this country at all.

If Joseph had agreed to have sex with his master's wife, would he have become Egypt prime minister? Hell no


The church choristers that turned to secular artists are enjoying their little enjoyed with Potiphar's wife, they are afraid of rejecting potiphar's wife and going to prison.

If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Your priority as a child of God is to seek first the kingdom of God and it's righteousness..
If you build your mindset, expecting people to always help you, you may not go far... God whom you are working for is your reward... Let us stop comparing the church of Christ to the world, they are not the same.
Imagine a regular genuine worshipper, that understands his calling.... All he hopes for is that..his/her ministrations will bring down the spirit of God.. The testimony of how the ministration touched lives alone sef is sweet to hear. A real minister does not seek after money or fame.. .he rather hopes on God to supply his needs.... See the apostles of Christ, they were happy to do the work of God even to the point of death.
Dear ministers in songs. I will like you to know that the church is not owing you anything, freely you have received. Many circular artist started from the church, because that's the only Place where you practice/learn and perform for free. Using your gift to glorify God or not is your decision. If you don't allow God satisfy you..you will never be contented, if the church starts paying you salary, it's only a matter of time before u start asking for more, if they refuse to pay, you change church and from there you might leave the house of God.

To the Pastors and administrators.. .....
James 2:16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?

Romans 13:6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.

1 Timothy 5:18 For the Writings say, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. And, The worker has a right to his reward.

The church need to change their mindset about some things.. ..the youths needs empowerment.....we understand that there are lots of responsibility on the Church.. ...but if nothing is done, we maybe loosing more souls than we are winning..
Some pastors are not helping matters at all.. ..well I'm not the judge..... My own is.... Do not allow over familiarity to make you disregard the talents around you.. .if a prophet is not respected in his own place.. He will move away. Same goes for workers..if
You want theM to remain then you need to encourage them.. I personally do not support monetory gift, but let the money be converted to meet needs.. .if you can raise funds for any project in the church, you can equally raise funds for this..

Finally... .
You don't have to sing gospel songs as a Christian.. . See Timi Dakolo... Hes not singing Gospel song but inspirational.. .see Simi,Dare art Alade,Omawunmi,Chidimma and the likes.. ..these are circular artiste yet they still maintain their dignity and are well respected....see ASA.. .there are loads of them....So plz understand.. ..whether you honor God with your gift of not....it is your choice....Bible says.. .there is a way that seemeth right but the end thereof is destruction.. ..
This is my opinion.. .....I rest my case
