Nigerian gospel minister and songwriter, Kay wonder shares a spirit-filled song and video titled “Jesu Olomi Ati Eje” produced by Samuel Adebayo and Shola Williams.
The Yoruba [a language predominately spoken in the southwestern part of Nigeria] titled song in a verbatim translation means “Jesus, the owner of Water & Blood” in English.
This song speaks to every moment of storm, confrontation, and difficulty that challenges our lives both individually and collectively as a nation.
The ministration reflects the helplessness of the Israelites in the face of the daunting forces of the Moabites and Amorites who in their legion caused trepidation in the hearts of the Israelites.
King Jehoshaphat appointed anointed minstrels who led the high praises of God. Aroused in His fury, the devouring power of God consumed the bands of the army and gave victory to the Israelites.
Kay wonder shares a scripture reference which inspires the birth of the song 2 Chronicles 20: 1-20.
The song is written by Kay wonder and recorded live at Invasion Praise Concert Season 3 at RCCG Overcomer’s assembly, Abule odu, Lagos – Nigeria.
The video is shot and directed by TeesaWorld.
