Daniel George launches The Greatest Name

A gospel artist, Daniel George, has described music as a soothing sound for the spirit that refreshes the soul and body. George, who recently launched his first album, The Greatest Name, at the main auditorium of the Divine Glory Christian Church, Ikeja, Lagos said God has been faithful to him. According to the 2007 graduate from the University of Ibadan, he grew up in a music family, and as such he understands the impact of music in the society. “Music is beyond just the combination of sounds that are pleasing to the ears, it is beyond the rhymes and rhythm, better put, music is beyond the way the song sounds or singer is packaged; though that is equally very important. Music is a soothing sound for the spirit that refreshes the soul and body.” The talented singer said the 8-track album which included hit songs such as Greatest Name, Save Me, Jesus Come, Obarijima, Chineke Nna, Praise Your Name, Nigerian and Celebrate were all composed to give honour and glory to the one true God. Unveiling the 8-track album, Senior Pastor of Divine Glory Christian Church, Pastor Femi Fadeyi, who was elated by the wonderful works, said majority of gospel artists in the country are actually into gospel music because of money. He said, “Some sing worship songs because of how much they will make, and not because they necessarily wanted to impact spiritual foods through their songs into the lives of the listeners.” Pastor Fadeyi however commended George for his commitment and dedication in the Lord’s vineyard, adding that every Christian home needs the album to glorify God in their lives. “We need God. Most of us do not give God his preeminent place in our lives anymore. We have forgotten that he is the reason why we sing. We need Him in our lives. “Daniel has done the needful, and I pray he continues in the path. This is just the beginning of a successful career once he is faithful to God in all his dealings.”
