Joy Ezeh better known as Endless Joy, a gifted gospel artiste passionate about spreading unlimited joy to individuals who come in contact with her music has applauded  Nigerian Gospel Music artistes.

She said, ”Nigerian gospel artistes now get global recognition though it was not like that in the past. A lot has changed and we are thankful to God for what he is doing through us. We are no longer where we used to be.”

Joy Ezeh continues, “The Nigerian music industry is dynamic and evolving. It is becoming the rave of the moment across many climes, be it gospel or secular. However, there is still work that has to be done on the sides of management, more funding and intellectual property.”

In an interview with The Guardian, Ezeh said that gospel music is not an ordinary music genre, adding that gospel artistes are not supposed to engage in praise singing of men.

“Our kind of music is not ordinary. We don’t sing; we worship. Gospel artistes are not supposed to engage in praise singing of men. We are expected to worship God only using our gifts. It is disheartening that most of the gospel artistes are now derailing because of materialistic tendencies which doesn’t correlate with our mandate which is enshrined in the book of Matthew 6:33.

“We are expected to worship God alone while God makes all things come through for us. Gospel artistes should stand firm upon their core mandate and stop selling their gifts for money like Esau did with his birthright”.

The US-based songstress noted that her songs are inspired by the word of God.
