Most of my songs when you listen to them Are a message that is direct to God You rarely hear me addressing people But it's usually direct to God And this is because It just comes from the scriptures It is always inspired by the scripture When I go into prayer And God gives me something I write it So mostly it comes from the word of God And just inspired by the Holy Spirit From what has happened in the Bible And what I am learning And what God is putting in my heart That is what I usually sing out And you have an interesting story I've seen you somewhere You were sharing your testimony Your life story What is that one challenge Maybe that he went through That made you write a particular song So what made me start Recording music was a period That I got really sick And I honestly was seeing my end Like for me I didn't think I would make it through And it was a very tough, tough season That is last year 2020 And God spoke to me And put it in my heart That he has healed me And it's time for him to glorify himself through me I used to write songs and just keep them And put them for later But that time God put it in my heart That he has healed me And it's time for him to glorify himself through me And I chose to start testifying And the only way I could testify Is the only way I know how And that is by singing So I took one of my songs That I had written in the past And I just went to study And I said, Lord I am giving you these praises Because you have healed me And trust you me After that I didn't go to hospital again Yes, I was completely healed And that is when I had the voice of the Lord To start doing this Most of my songs when you listen to them Like what you just heard is called Nashukuru It is just giving thanks for where God has brought me from Because indeed he has just taken me Through hills and valleys Munguwa Majira to Kimalizia Yes, munguwa Majira means God of all seasons That's my latest song God was just teaching me that he's a God of all seasons You see when corona happened We came into another season That was tough, a season that we were not familiar with And I learned that he is God And that is where I wrote munguwa Majira That even when it is good Or when it is bad, he still remains to be God And he deserves my praises Amen, and he deserves it How can people support you?
