Pastor Olusola Fabunmi and some other men of God condemns this act, saying the church was wrong to invite Korede Bello, who is not a gospel singer, to perform on their altar. What did he have to offer the church? Why did the church invite him? Was he expected to lead the people of God to the presence of God or was he just invited to entertain the audience?

Here's what Pastor Olusola said...
"Korede Bello is a young man I love personally, and have nothing against him. But it’s written here, that when we chose the way of the world, we have clearly chosen our paths; becoming an enemy of God. Please, there must be...
a clearly defined boundaries of who sings, and /or ministers in churches. Some of the questions that come to mind are; is he born again? Sanctified with the spirit of God and baptized in the Holy Spirit?
Also, let’s ask ourselves, what’s even the purpose of people singing in churches and Christian concerts?
Where purpose is lacking, abuse is inevitable writes Francis Wale Oke in his book; The Power of the Holy Spirit. So I believe very strongly that one major purpose of choristers or Psalmists singing is to prepare the minds and hearts of the people for the word of God that is to come shortly; since we see in parable of the sower that the hearts of men is like a soil, and when the seed (which is the word of God) is sown, one of the factors that will determine the level of harvest yielded is the condition of the soil (hearts).”
I wish to submit by saying that the only difference that makes the difference between church gatherings/ programs and others like clubs, parties is the Presence of Almighty God. If he is not there, we might spend hours and do all manners of spiritual gymnastics, it’s sheer of wasting of time, energy and resources. And the ministers who know their onions do all it takes to secure his presence. But I think today in the word of a very senior man of God, one of the older generation, Dr. Ayodele who said in Houston recently, that churches in this generation has been reduced to ABC… Meaning; Attendance, Building and Cash."

it is wrong cant imagine the congragation dancing shoki in the presence of God.
Jesus said I came for the unsaved notime the righteous, that could be another Avenue to bring him close to God, one message from the altar that day may change his life for ever, I see nothing bad for him to sing a Christian song on the altar, if that be the case how many of his choir members can he verge for that do not sleep in their boy friends housebbefore coming to sing on the altar.as far as he did not sing an ungodly song on the alter he is good to go
Moreover how many gospel artist are righteous
They should asked these questions when R.Kelly song "Storm is Over" was being remixed enmass. Jesus came to die for the unsaved and not the saved.
I personally believe the standards of God is clearly stated in the bible without any ambiguity. Less we hastily forget God is not a man and can never compromise his standards. In the old testaments there were men singled out to serve on the alter of God, these men were sanctified and filled with the spirit of the living God. And who born them well to derail from following the commandments as it was stated?
Korede is not a gospel artist, he has no business on the alter, if he was just in the gathering of friends or youths or even any other gathering that is not church service...then it would have been understandable. we must learn to do God's business just as he has instructed us in his holy book. We must be cautious of bringing the world into the word!. God bless us.
IT IS WRONG IF YOU WANT TO PLAY SECULAR MUSIC, PLAY IT OUTSIDE THE CHURCH
Hmmmm. I wonder what our altars are turning into these days. "christians" are quickly loosing their grip. well i am not surprised,..end time. I am not against the artist performing,but the fact that he was specially invited to sing a particular song. IT IS WELL.
So just becus he doesn't singer gospel songs makes him a sinner or nt born again? hmmmm he who is witout blemish shud cast d first stone ...... All ds naija pastors n pretence smh most of em are worst dan pegans in their closets !!!
Shoutout to all the "judges" in the house..I wonder why this pastor didn't write about the times that we had myles munroe, George adegboye in our church.This same set of people have all sorta songs on their phone and they play it day and night. And did i hear the word "Altar?? Remember the body is the church and not the building,if the altar is that "sacred" people that hold parties in event centres that are used as church venues should probably fall down and die!April 9, 2015 at 11:34 AM
do u know that before now, the alter was taken so seriously that even the priest was tied b4 he enters so dat if he didn't makeit inside, he wud be dragged out.
it is called the holy of holies.so dont be too quick to comment on matters.yea we all listen to different genre of songs but wen it comes to standing in the alter of God please sanctify yourself so that the spirit cam work thru u so u dont end entertaining but touch lives and heal broken hearted.
do u know that gospel songs can raise the dead? Its the level of preparation of the person singing I tell u.so it's not something u do with carnality.
As far as preaching and spreading the Gospel is concern personality doesn't count anybody can be use as a tool for God's work so stop judging it's not korede u came to worship in church na God u come serve and the praises na for God
ya'll shud remember he sang
"we go pop champagne today na Godwin o"
hw did he handle dt part while singing in the church tho?
This is so wrong. My opinion... argue with your bible verse
Abegi, make we hear word. All these people that will be claiming holiness. Go and look at the olusola fabunmi profile picture on fb blowing kisses. Park well oga #Godwin
everytin is wrong when u bring worldly tins into d house of God to poison d minds of d children of God.
Which one is christian song, d one dey will mention sango? Mtchewww
It's a pity that the church is fast mixing up with the world which is a clear sign of d end times. Imagine a worldly artist who Im not even sure if he is a christian (I recall listening to an interview that cool fm granted him where I think he mentioned that he was a muslim). And for such a person to be granted access to the pulpit to perform shows gross desecration of the altar of God. In the Islamic religion you dare not try that! How much more the holy sanctuary of the most high. A lot of things are allowed these days in the house of God all in the name of entertainment and I wonder if these people really know what they are doing. I was arguing with a friend the other day who said there was nothing wrong for comedians to crack jokes on the pulpit (some of these jokes are very crass and out of line). However, the question we need to ask is, is that part of what the church was commissioned to do? Is that how the church of old was? Why not keep comedy and other forms of entertainment where it is meant to be and let the church focus on the great commission? We are in the perilous times and true believers who want to make heaven at last should be able to separate btw the chaff & d wheat.
Secular musicians are not to be allowed to minister in the house of God.
We shouldn't reduce the house of God to mere gathering all in the name of modernization.
We will only send the wrong message to the hearts of believers.
we shld blame dose dat invited im,nt not korede,any which way,NA GODWIN.
