In its quest toward promoting gospel artistes for global relevance and impact, the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries is set to launch 25 soul gospel singers from the church on the 4th of December at Eko Hotels and Suite.
The General Overseer of the Church, Pastor Daniel Olukoya announced this at a briefing held ahead of the maiden edition and launch of the Psalmists Concert which will showcase 25 members of the church whose albums will be officially released at the event.
He said that initiative was birthed as part of the repositioning agenda of the ministry in promoting destinies and his commitment in discouraging youths from engaging in destructive acts.
Olukoya spoke through Pastor Pius Oragwu, Administrator/ Chairman MFM Praise Worship Association, stating:
“The initiative of the Psalmists Concert is of positive impact on Nigerian society and other countries.
“When you consider hunger, poverty, insecurity and other things, you will find out that the Nigerian masses need encouragement and comfort, they need hope. But there is another source for hope and comfort than God’s words as far as our situation is concerned.”
Olukoya said that although MFM is known for prayer and deliverance, “this time around, we want to lift souls through our music.

“We are coming out for the body of Christ to know what we are blessed with in the ministry.”
Olukoya himself is a musician who has composed about hundred songs and said, “now God has brought out another psalmist tagged: ‘New song in my mouth.’ The song is an inspiring one, and as a result of that, we are launching 25 artistes.”
Pastor Olukoya said such a thing has never happened in our church before, saying the 25 artistes that would be unveiled to bless the body of Christ. “We want people to know we are not just for prayer and deliverance alone. We are using the music to take 25 people out of the street and reposition destiny in the church. The song will help a lot of people who are depressed and lift a lot of souls. We placed a premium on spirituality, whoever listens to the music will feel God’s presence and its impact all through.
“One of the basic reasons we are launching on December 4, at Eko Hotel and Suite is to make them compete with other artistes outside. We want to showcase the talents God has blessed the ministry with, God brought out the Psalmist from the praise and worship group of the church. It is not just about singing songs, it must be inspiring one.
“The music must sound spiritual and impactful also not to entertain but to minister to people, it was when the announcement was made that people started to come out across the country. What we are doing has never happened in the history of any church launching 25 artistes at the same time. We are launching them out to be a blessing to everyone and shouldn’t be us alone. We want the world to know we are not for deliverance alone and we are also good at music.
“The basic reason for the music is to take destiny out of the street and reposition the destinies for better and promote them for better.”
According to the Psalmist Coordinator, Pastor Paul Winners, the music from the artistes are soul lifting and impactful .
“We want people to come and see what God has done in the life of our ministry as we present talented artistes.”
