Jesus Christ never gave His followers any commands that have to do with singing songs to God, nor did He instruct that songs of praises be erected in His name. So all una gospel songs might as well be considered false under doctrines and traditions of men as far as His teaching is concerned. And we know that Jesus Christ warned against such vain worship. undecided

God no give special sanctions to "gospel songs", so all your songs have to do with this world and not His kingdom.

Here's a kicker... even realized that in many of His Psalms, David is read asking God to destroy His enemies? Well, if you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you would cringe when you come up against any line asking God to inflict harm on your enemies since according to Jesus Christ, you are not allowed to pray against your enemies but instead to love them.

Matthew 5 vs 43-48 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
43. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[k] and hate your enemy.’
44. But I tell you, love your enemies. Pray for those who treat you badly.
45. If you do this, you will be children who are truly like your Father in heaven. He lets the sun rise for all people, whether they are good or bad. He sends rain to those who do right and to those who do wrong.
46. If you love only those who love you, why should you get a reward for that? Even the tax collectors do that.
47. And if you are nice only to your friends, you are no better than anyone else. Even the people who don’t know God are nice to their friends.
48. What I am saying is that you must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
About Jesus Christ singing a hymn with His disciples, why not! We don't know the words of the hymn or the lyrics in order to claim it had something to do with David to begin with. What we do know however is that He never gave them a command instructing them to sing Hymns as a way of honoring God. Here's is what Jesus Christ said to the people of His time as far as the praising of His person

John 5 vs 31-44 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31. “If I tell people about myself, they cannot be sure that what I say is true.
32. But there is someone else who tells people about me, and I know that what he says about me is true.

33. “You sent men to John, and he told you what is true.
34. I don’t need anyone to tell people about me, but I remind you of what John said so that you can be saved.
35. John was like a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were happy to enjoy his light for a while.

36. “But I have a proof about myself that is greater than anything John said. The things I do are my proof. These are what my Father gave me to do. They show that the Father sent me.
37. And the Father who sent me has given proof about me himself. But you have never heard his voice. You have never seen what he looks like.
38. The Father’s teaching does not live in you, because you don’t believe in the one the Father sent.
39. You carefully study the Scriptures. You think that they give you eternal life. These same Scriptures tell about me!
40. But you refuse to come to me to have that life.
41. “I don’t want praise from you or any other human.
42. But I know you—I know that you have no love for God. [/b]
43. I have come from my Father and speak for him, but you don’t accept me. But when other people come speaking only for themselves, you accept them.
44. You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe?

Almost always disputing others.

The new life in Christ is not just about following commands like in a military zone or like a robot. It is a relationship - a reverent relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, with the Godhead, of which I doubt you have. It is "worth ship". The Lord is worthy of our praise and adoration.

David sang and danced before the Lord almost naked and his wife, Michal, despised him in her heart. You may know what happened to her afterwards.
Jesus sang hymns with his disciples (Matt. 26:30). He left us an example that we should follow his steps. We are told in scriptures to praise the Lord, to rejoice always, and how do we that? Is it with a straight face, sealed lips and motionless body?

The angels and other beings in heaven praise and worship God. Several instances are there also in the old testament beside the Psalms and before the time of David, where people praised the Lord.

'And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel' - 1 Chronicles 16:4

'For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.' - Nehemiah 12:46

'And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.' - Revelation 19:5-7

I wonder the gospel you are following, maybe it is "another gospel" (2 Cor. 11:4, Gal. 1:6-24) because you usually hit against the epistle of Paul as if he was not a disciple (Apostle) of Jesus Christ as Peter, James and John were, who also wrote epistles admonishing us to honour, praise, worship and glorify God.

It may well be said that some of these 'gospel songs' are not inspired by the Spirit of God and do not really honour God in truth and in spirit, but it doesn't rule out the fact that we are admonished, even commanded to thank, praise, honour and worship God.

Why do refuse to read what is posted so you can go on and on saying nothing in the end. undecided

Jesus Christ didn't call you to accept the doctrines and traditions that others follow. Instead, you are called to accept(trust) and obey the teachings/commandments of Jesus Christ regardless of what everyone else does. undecided

Jesus Christ never gave you any commandments regarding the singing of or dancing to songs, so as far as His commandments are concerned, you singing and dancing are not acts of obedience and so should not be construed as such. What that means is You can dance and sing in whatever way you want and to whatever songs you like too. This won't and doesn't impact your relationship with God. What impacts your relationship is your obedience and this of the commandments He has given you . undecided

'And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.' - Luke 17:15-18

So we are also not commanded to give glory to God, to thank, praise and worship Him?
Disobedience on your part?

I would ask only ask you one more time this question I have asked you a while ago which you keep refusing to answer: Who is Jesus Christ to you?

If you cannot answer that, it only shows how much of a deceiver you are, claiming to obey the commandments of Jesus Christ who you do not know. It is of such people the Lord will tell on that day: depart from Me, I know you not.

Secondly, it’s a big stretch and a big assumption to categorize 99% of a group.

we can't blame ekiye for the attitude of naija gospel artists, its their fans who are to blame, we celebrate mediocrity in our artists, only very few put in the time to hone their skills, the rest just copy and remix old classics.

Buy one scrappy jeep and you be arrived, I don't listen to their trash except songs done 20+ years ago.

People like Percy Paul, voice of the cross, bro okwey, lorine okotie and the likes, these new pips copying CCM styles are chaff, I d rather listen to POP than CCM.

Ebenezer has been in the business for over 40+ years he ain't in that class, he was a successful singer before he joined gospel.

Sinach is riding on the wings of her elder brother, its not talent just privilege, same thing with bassey.

Tell me after that major crappy hit by basset has he released any credible song?

If whiz kid were doing gospel, he d beat basset and sinach together.
