WHERE TO MEET LARA GEORGE ON SATURDAY (TOMORROW)

" 'Your songs blessed me and helped me through my trying time. That was the last time I had to go into emergency till we had our baby boy on the 16th of June...'YOU TOO CAN HAVE A TESTIMONY."

There are two super Saturdays in October – at least for Chapelites, as members of one of Nigeria’s earliest word of faith churches are known, and other interested believers.  

October 11, 2014 was the first of the two this year. It heralded CCIC Campmeeting, perhaps Nigeria’s most consistent annual gathering of believers out to camp around the word of God in order to retool, refuel and re-fire for another year of godly abundant living. As is usual, Chapelites walked for Christ in one accord to create awareness for the campmeeting, proceeded to compete with one another at sports and games and then broke bread in an atmosphere of agape, the God-kind of love.

I’ll save you all the details of what you missed. I’ll tell you instead about that which you can still be a part of - Super Saturday Two.  In fact, please take this as my invitation to attend. It is our annual Campmeeting Gospel Music Jamz and it holds on Saturday, October 18, 2014 at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Surulere. (CONTINUES BELOW)

Poised to take their turns to minister life to the people through gospel music and humour at their most inspirational and entertaining are CCIC Levites, Tim Godfrey of Agidigba fame comedian Koffi and Lara George. Space does not permit me to tell you about Tim Godfrey; Koffie and anointed star-studded CCIC Levites.  

Permit me to focus on special guest, Lara George, undoubtedly one of Nigeria’s leading female artistes. Classy, immensely talented and with a spellbinding voice, she was formerly a member of the popular gospel group KUSH. She released her debut solo album in 2007 with the hit single 'Ijoba Orun.' This was followed by the self-titled  'Lara George,' with such massive tracks Halleluyah, Kolebaje and Komasi (Nobody Like You) two years later, which she released with videos for these three top songs.

In 2012, while pregnant with her second child, Lara George went on to release her 3rd solo album titled 'Higher - The Dansaki Album.' Although this album was released without any fanfare, the song 'Dansaki' became an instant hit, closely followed by other tracks like 'Higher' , 'A Yin O', 'A New Day' and 'We Praise You.' The entire album is a testament to God's ability to make better all things of which He is a part.

Her recent work, Love Wantintin  is commemorating the tenth anniversary of her marriage last month. This is a prelude to a planned double album release in 2014, as she prepares to commemorate her 10th year wedding anniversary , as well as continuing with the pleasure of singing the most heartfelt and sincere inspirational songs ever heard. 

Lara is an often decorated gospel music megastar, whose many awards include Trailbazer of the Year 2013 and many more.  

Her songs have touched so many live in so many diverse ways to the glory of God such that testimonies abound. One such testimony reads:

“Your songs blessed me and helped me through my trying time. That was the last time I had to go into emergency till we had our baby boy on the 16th of June. I looked forward to sing "Dansaki" to the most high when this child was born and the day I brought my baby home it was the first song I heard. It brought tears to my eyes...I acknowledge His faithfulness in my life.

Thank you for those great songs. I am sure they have inspired many people across the globe but I just had to share my testimony…” You too can have a testimony; come expectant on Saturday (tomorrow). Time is 3pm.
