The Money Anthem of the Year

In todays dancehall arena singing about wanting money would be quite the norm but would be historic and uncommon for the gospel arena. However, Christ inspired artistes Mr. J from Nassua Bahamas along with DJ Evangelist from Canada/ Guyanese born has shaken the entire music world with their new Single Money we want. After hearing such a title for a Christian based composition I would have normally put my interest elsewhere.
With the addictive hook I began to listen attentively to the lyrics. While I was expecting the
lyrics to convince me that they were just Christian artiste gone wrong for the love of money, girls, lust, etc. I was surprised by the lyrical content of the song as it was far from the typical stereotype. Even though the lyrics spoke for itself, I wanted to connect with these two artiste to achieve an unbiased review, so through the management of dancehallgospel.com. I was able to connect with DJ Evangelist and Mr.J. I had one main question for both artistes that generated their detailed response. What inspired you to sing about Money?

Response :

Mr. J: Myself and DJ Evangelist teamed up to compose this hit single for several reasons. We felt its about time that the minds that are in mental bondage should be released from their chains. We both want to be in that position of great wealth where we can help others i.e. Build schools, shelters, real record deals etc.

DJ Evangelist: One of my inspirations was that I was tired of other artistes with incorrect motives singing about money and seeing wealth following them and most of the Christian artiste are broke and cant even pay their rent. We should be speaking it to life just like any other miracle. He also quoted several scriptures ask and you shall receive. If we are the head and not the tail then, why are most Christian folks broke? The wealth of the wicked is stored up for the just. Death and life are in the power of the tongue just include some faith. Then Mr.J with his unforgettable laugh wrapped up our conversation by saying just look out for the music video because if you need money for anything, Christ can provide so you should start singing the song. They joyfully laughed.

  • Nicely done.....great job

    thx for sharing m yfriend :D

  • @SonjaGDCat  Thanks Sonj.Hw you been doing?

  • Instead of stressing the importance of wealth, the Bible warns against pursuing it. Believers, especially leaders in the church (1 Timothy 3:3), are to be free from the love of money (Hebrews 13:5). The love of money leads to all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10). Jesus warned, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15).

  • @kevonmanuel I understand what you are saying bro.If you watch the content of the video,unlike our secular counterparts who desire money for vanity,women etc,we are desirous of helping others.The subtitle of the song is "Building The Kingdom".I dnt know if you understood the lyrics of the song but there is a line in the song that states "we are not covetous nor avarious".The song isnt stressing that we become insatiable but that we be in a position to make our lives better and help others.

  • @kevonmanuel Money is what we need to have a roof, to buy food, put Arabian gas in our cars.

    Thats the system that BABYLON/Freemasons have set up to squash the ancient way of bartering.

    I believe in sharing what i got. I don't hesitate to help others less fortunate.

    So what if i have to go to work and pay taxes. Give Caesar his, and give your soul to JAH!!!!!

  • Paul said covetousness is idolatry (Ephesians 5:5) and instructed the Ephesians to avoid anyone who brought a message of immorality or covetousness (Ephesians 5:6-7).

  • If riches were a reasonable goal for the godly, Jesus would have pursued it. But He did not, preferring instead to have no place to lay His head (Matthew 8:20) and teaching His disciples to do the same. It should also be remembered that the only disciple concerned with wealth was Judas.

  • The pursuit of wealth is a dangerous path for Christians and one which God warns about: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs” (v. 10).

  • Paul warned Timothy about such men in 1 Timothy 6:5, 9-11. These men of “corrupt mind” supposed godliness was a means of gain and their desire for riches was a trap that brought them “into ruin and destruction” (v. 9).

  • @gesnerdalmon any riddim.. i make riddim 2
