As a Nigerian, I am very proud of my Nigerian artists and their creative music, but I have to be careful to what I listen to. There are spirits connected to music, if you believe it or not. We open ourselves up to all kinds of spirits by what we listen to. Our music industry is polluted with the spirit of lust, the spirit of greed and the spirit of self-love. If you listen to songs all day about grinding, sex and all sorts of promiscuity, don’t be surprised if that’s all you think about.
Proverbs 4:23 “Guard your heart with all diligence” We have to guard our hearts from anything that doesn’t line with the word of God. If the message in the song contradicts the word of God, it means we shouldn’t be listening or supporting that kind of music. This kind of music will affect our spirit man because we have the holy spirit on the inside of us.
What are you listening to? Does it glorify God?
I guess Nigeria is just flowing with the tide of decadence the world over! Thanks to reminders like your post that nudge our conscience from time to time….all hope is not lost! regards!
Thanks! Unfortunately, the whole world is flowing with the tide of decadence not just Nigeria. God help us.
