Lekan Olayinka has expressed concerns about the use of Greatman Takit’s song “Is Not a Praise” in church worship settings.
According to Olayinka, the song should not be classified as a praise song or used as part of worship on church altars.
His remarks have sparked conversations about the distinction between gospel music, inspirational music, and songs specifically intended for congregational worship. The discussion also highlights the responsibility of churches and worship leaders to consider the message, purpose, and context of songs before incorporating them into worship services.
The comments have also generated broader conversations about contemporary Christian music and the standards used to determine whether a song is appropriate for congregational worship.
Olayinka’s position ultimately calls for greater discernment among church leaders and worship ministers when selecting songs for use during church services.
