Timi Dakolo describes his faith journey, ‘once church boy.’
Renowned singer, songwriter, and music producer, Timi Dakolo, has described himself as a “church boy” who rarely misses Sunday service, emphasizing his deep faith and love for God.
Dakolo made this declaration during a press briefing for the upcoming “Jesus+Nothing” concert organized by the Love of God in Christ Church (LOGIC) in Lagos on Friday.
“I am a member of this church. This is my father’s house. Sometimes I wonder why I am like this. I will explain it in one phrase. When the Prodigal Son was coming home, did he ask him five steps? Did he even tell you about faith before you saw your father? It is my father’s house. I have always been a church boy,” Dakolo shared passionately.
The 2007 Idols West Africa winner went on to emphasize that his commitment to church is unwavering. “I have always loved Jesus. I have always praised him. I have always wanted to know more about God. You will never catch me anywhere on Sunday morning if not in God’s house, because we know where we are coming from,” he said.
The press briefing also featured remarks from Apostle Flourish Peters, Lead Pastor and Apostolic Head of LOGIC Church, who spoke about the significance of the “Jesus+Nothing” concert, which will be held at Lekki, Lagos. The event aims to celebrate the blood, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ while focusing on saving souls.
“The essence of the Christian faith is resurrection. Without the empty grave, there is no Christian faith. Our faith is premised on the grave being empty. We have over 4,000 religions out there, but only one empty grave. That is what makes our faith stand out,” Apostle Peters stated.
He also explained the unique angle of the “Jesus+Nothing” concert, which is designed to target Good Friday evening, a time when many people are at home. “We want to sing about redemption. Sing about the blood of Jesus and what Christ has done for us,” he said, setting the tone for the powerful messages of the concert.
Gospel singer Neon Adejo also shared his personal testimony, noting how joining the church helped him grow from fewer than 300,000 streams to gaining global recognition. “Some of us had the privilege of reaching out to more than 300 million people. We had the privilege of being in a label that is like the number one gospel group in the world,” Adejo reflected, acknowledging the church’s role in his success.
The “Jesus+Nothing” concert will feature an impressive lineup of gospel artists, including Greatman Takit, Noble G, SMJ, MagPslam, Steve Hills, Lily Perez, Joxie, Anderson Qozan, Pastor Victor Paul, EmekaSongz, Flo, Dorcas Moore, Magpsalms, Mera Owili, Gerald Bishung, Phebe Lion, and the Evolution Children’s Choir.
