Yemi Alafifuni's views on Christian Music
According to Wikipedia, like other forms of music the creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of Christian music varies according to culture and social context.
This seems a little generic and fundamentally misses the point. For me, Christian music exist for two purposes;
- God. “Psalms 57:7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.”
- People. “Psalms 40:3; He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.”
Whilst most genre of music focus on groove, style and trending sound, christian music focuses on lyric, faith and passion. Lyric has to first be biblically correct, faith that establishes identity in and with Christ and passion – an expression of response.
These in my view are the core elements of christian music. So no matter the genre type (or sound) or culture (whether ethnic or location), this music takes you on a journey to divinity and satisfies that hunger in all humans.
A hunger that only God can fulfil. Check out >>> Music Bible references
We can truly belong somewhere when our inward being is at rest. No one can satisfy the thirst of our soul like Jesus can. There is no survivor without an express divine help and hope only can sometimes make the heart weary yet sustain it – Jesus is the latter, He in fact is hope personified.
What Yemi truly believes...
A VOICE OF WORSHIP
All of man’s life is a mystery and the only phenomenon that makes sense is the existence of God. The understanding that God has a son who came for humanity just to bring man back to where he fell – the presence. God is a loving Father and despite all the negativity expressed in the world today, his love beams down on us – come rain or shine.
Gospel music is at the core of the healing that the world needs today… We need to mend every broken heart that will yield by the power of the Holy Spirit. We create the atmosphere, draw men back to the place of originality – God’s intentions. There are open facts that shape of being, the need to belong somewhere, the desire to survive and the hope for tomorrow.
Love is the fuel of passion. John 3:16 puts it this way; “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
