He them called for unity among the Ministers of God and advise them to shun any act of animosity, through this our community, nations and the Church of God will be able to grow.

GRACE AINA SET FOR NEW ALBUM LAUNCH; GOD’S GRACE

CENEWS: Tell us about your upcoming album launch?
Grace Aina: It is an album that is focused on praise and worship songs, a time to worship God. With Songs that are simple and easy for the church to follow and sing to God. It is more like a worship event.
What is music to you?
Music is a gift from God to mankind. In the world music is used to create a mood. It is a powerful tool from God to mankind. In the bible music was used to bring down the presence of God. When Elisha did not hear from God, he said bring me a minstrel and when the minstrel came and played music, He began to hear from God. It is a gift from God for us to communicate with Him, to create whatever atmosphere we want, for us to invoke the Spirit of God and bring down His presence.
So what is the title of your Album?
God's Grace

How many tracks?
We have 12 songs, actually 13. We put a bonus song on there for the world, about what is going on in the world today.
Which is your favorite Track?
I thought I had a favorite track until I kept listening to all the songs and I realized I don't have a favorite track. I love all of them. I believe the Holy Spirit specially selected every song on this album. I can't say I like this one more than this one.
Is this your first album?
No this is my fourth but I call this a new beginning album, It is a new start album,
So how long have you been singing professionally?Well it depends on what professionally means, I have just been singing since I knew how to sing 

Let us take it from the first album recording, when was that?
I was maybe 16 or 17, I was still in high school.For this album launch, who are the other guest ministers?Well definitely my brother, He is an anointed minister and then Sister Vic. So Bro Chosen, Sister Vic, Dee Jones, David Adesokan, Sunny Sax and Krestup from DallasIn the next 5 years, where do you want to see yourself in the music ministry?
I want all the songs that God gives me to be sung all over the world and connect to God with the songs. So really where I want to be this year, next year, every year, forever is the place where Music that God gives through me is blessing the whole world.Do you have a particular style?

I will call it Christian Music and any style God gives for a song, we sing it.Has there been any moment in your life when you were pushed to a low point where you said above all, I still need to record music
Everybody has life challenges and things that shake them but we just stay with God. Some of the songs were written during those times that I really thought things were going to collapse, but then there is God. God is constant, He doesn't change. A lot of the songs came out of that, came out of times when I needed God and He showed up. There are songs about when I was down, songs about Thanking Him for what He has done and songs worshiping Him just for who He is. God has been constant in every part of our life.
Can you give us the names of some tracks we should look forward to in this Album?
I love all the songs. The first song is Testify that I'll tell everybody about what the Lord has done, it is just saying come and see what the Lord has done. There is the one about the world issues and calling on God to revive us and then there is a song I call the wordless song, anybody can sing the song. It is Ahhahhahh and Ohhhohhohh. You know when God does a miracle for you and you don't know what to say, you say Ahh and Ohh. People should look out for that one.
Would you like to add anything else?
I just want to tell everyone that whatever gift God has given you, use it. I have been singing since I could remember. I remember as a child I will stand on the edge of the roundabout in our house in Nigeria and sing very loud, I wanted the whole neighborhood to hear me and I will picture myself singing in front of many people. I didn't know how it will happen but I just believed and God is doing it, He is making a way. So whatever gift we have, no mater how long it takes, no matter how little it is, when we use it for God, He is going to blow it up and make something great out of it.
Thank you very much
Grace Aina
