Christian Music Minister, Obiwon Obiora on Tuesday gave a bitter dose of truth to his colleagues in the gospel music industry asking them to re-evaluate their ‘ministry’ as some might have begun to veer compromise standards while delivering the gospel.
The attention-grabber in Obiwon’s series of tweets or rants, as he so described it was the question: ‘#DearChristianArtiste Which is more important? The Grammys, the Sales or the Souls? Dear Christian, which will your Master reward you for?Accolades or Souls? ’
Here is a full version of Obiwon’s ‘rants’ as he shared via his Twitter account last Tuesday, March 11, 2014…
Hi folks…been almost a year I said anything personally Twitter, apart from retweets and replies

My personal Social Media Mantra –> When there are many words, sin is unavoidable, but the one who controls his lips is wise – Prov 10:19

Perhaps not. Lots of upcoming folks in music ask me "Why identify as gospel? Why not inspirational… Don't you think that's too limiting?"

Now the RTs are coming
My reply is: We receive "Power" 2 be His "Witnesses" not 2 hide & scurry @ every instance of the world's rejection

Int'nally there's d argument tht being an artiste who happens 2b Christian,rather than being labelled Christian Artiste reaches more souls..

Well I say to each his own.Jesus was Rabbi,Master,Great Prophet..not carpenter who happened to be a rabbi in order to reach more lost souls

The appointed divine vehicle to spread the gospel still is preaching! Rom10:14 –> How will they hear without a preacher?

Yes we give milk to babies and meat to the strong & we should use parables..But the Holy Spirit will never ask you to say less about Jesus.

If the Gospel has never cost you anything, then you need to re-evaluate your followership. Jesus laid down His life for it.
