Chandler called it a “God-led transition” after years of pouring into the collective. He said Maverick was something he poured his heart into, so saying goodbye feels like letting go of a child. But the dream hasn’t changed — he’s stepping into a season where his story, his voice, and his purpose can stand on their own.

Naomi shared her side too. After much prayer and reflection, she said it’s time to walk in the calling she feels individually. Being part of Maverick changed her life — what began with folks singing in a shed grew into something she could never have imagined. She emphasised: this is not an end, but a new beginning.

I’m thankful for all they gave through Maverick — the songs, the worship, the doors they helped open. And as they move into what’s next, I’m excited to see what each will birth. God’s not done yet.

Pastor Emmanuel Iren kicked it off to promote his upcoming song with Godswill Oyor, set to drop on October 10. He also shared a video highlighting Acts 10:38 and Isaiah 61:1 — scriptures that anchor the message behind the song.

And honestly? We can’t get enough of it. From Jennifer Obiuwevbi, Adura Ojofeitimi, Evelyn Ajayi, Dieko, to Bunmi Praise — these are some of our absolute favourites. Their photos carry such a striking mix of grace, boldness, and creativity that it’s hard to scroll past without pausing.

Now, we’re just counting down to October 10. If the challenge is anything to go by, the song is going to be just as powerful.

Standout tracks? Her new version of “God Will Work It Out” has been trending everywhere, and for good reason. It’s one of those songs that feels like a balm when life gets overwhelming. Then there’s “Be Glad,” a brighter, lighter moment. It has this joyful lift that feels like a rest to your mood. Both tracks are easy favourites, but honestly, the whole album flows like a live playlist you didn’t know you needed.

What makes “Jesus Over Everything” so easy to love is its versatility. You don’t need to be in a worship mood to enjoy it — it works whether you’re getting ready in the morning, stuck in Lagos traffic, or winding down at night. It’s worship, yes, but it’s also just really good music.

And with Naomi set to hit the stage alongside Tasha Cobbs Leonard in October for their Naomi & Tasha Live in Concert tour, this album feels like the perfect warm-up.

So if you haven’t pressed play on “Jesus Over Everything” yet, this is your sign. It’s heartfelt, refreshing, and might just be the album you keep coming back to all year.

This isn’t just a song, it’s a revival. The lyrics are simple but powerful, reminding us that God’s favour isn’t something we’re chasing, it’s something we walk in. As the song flows, it feels like a celebration of divine breakthroughs.

The intensity builds, and before you know it, you’re declaring Power! Fire! Angels! It’s like a reminder of all the heavenly goodness surrounding us. Then Mercy comes in, and it hits differently: Mercy has washed away my sin and is opening doors for me. Now that’s grace in action.

The best part? The repetition makes it easy to get lost in worship, and you just can’t help but sing along. If you haven’t had a listen yet, you’re missing out. If you have, what part of Favour speaks to you the most? Let’s talk about it.

Osinachi Joseph, better known as Sinach, paved the way with her iconic hit “Way Maker,” a song that became a global anthem. Covered by artists like Michael W. Smith and sung in churches worldwide, it cemented her place as a gospel music legend. Sinach didn’t just sing; she broke barriers, becoming the first African gospel artist to top the Billboard Christian Songwriters chart.

Now, Nathaniel Bassey is carrying that torch. Known for his songs like “Imela” and the viral “Hallelujah Challenge,” Bassey has united millions in worship online. This year, he’s taking his ministry to new heights as he’s set to minister at the US Inaugural Prayer Breakfast on January 20th, 2025. It’s a historic moment that highlights the growing global recognition of Nigerian gospel music.

The movement doesn’t stop there. Gospel artistes like Mercy Chinwo, Dunsin Oyekan, and Victoria Orenze are also making waves, proving that worship knows no boundaries. Their music is a reminder that faith-filled lyrics and heartfelt praise resonate with people everywhere.

The rise of Nigerian gospel music is a reminder that when you commit your gift to God, He opens doors you never imagined. As these artistes bring the sound of heaven to international stages, they’re not just sharing music, they’re sharing hope, faith, and God’s love.

The world is watching, and Nigerian gospel music is soaring. The question is, what’s next? Whatever it is, we know it will be powerful.
