Nigerian gospel singer and banker, Toyin Alo, has said gospel music should not be seen merely as entertainment but as a ministry and a spiritual tool for winning souls.
Alo explained that her music is driven by faith, purpose, and a desire to inspire people to hold on to God, not by the quest for fame or material gain.
‘Gospel music is not just for entertainment; it is a tool to draw souls to Christ.
‘I am a Christian, a lover of Christ, a gospel singer, a dutiful wife, a mother, and a proud girl-child with zero tolerance for barbaric practices. My mission is to win souls for Him’, she said in a statement on Saturday.
She emphasised that while culture has its value, her spiritual convictions stand above all else.
‘According to the Bible, a believer must never subscribe to Mammon. My faith in Him stands tall’, she said.
Balancing her banking career, family life, and music ministry, Alo described her journey as one rooted in God’s grace.
‘God is my Alpha and Omega. He has been good to me, and no weapon formed against me shall prosper. All my life has been about Christ’, she added.
Alo, who began her career with the album Esteban Praise and has since released several projects, including Alagbara, Halleluyah, Oba ni Jesu (featuring Kenny Kore), and her latest album, Praise Him.
Her newest single, Ogo Ogo, is also doing well as she prepares for a new album filled with what she calls ‘powerful gospel lyrics and uplifting messages’.
