LET'S TALK ABOUT HYMN - Min. Kolawole Emmanuel

1. Can we meet you sir?

Res: My Name is Kolawole Emmanuel born into the family of Adewusi in the year '89. A family raised in Christian doctrine. I'm a Drummer, Song Writer, Vocalist, Member of a church choir and lover of God.

2. You're a song minister, how did you come about your ministry? Or how do you discovered your purpose?

Res: I will like to start from discovering purpose ma.

Though it's looks like a great deal but I think that's where everything gets started.

Loving God and the things of God unfolds purposes to me as the day goes bye.

Starting from general purpose i.e from my local Church, things started there as I was appointed my Church choir leader after my secondary school age.

Lots of comments and commendation receive then and yes that's what made me.

Then personal purpose discovery just lights up in it. And here ministry is running by the grace of God.

To whom much is given much is required.

3. What is the name God gave to your ministry, and the meaning, and what is the primary assignment of that ministry?

Res: Perfect Grace Weld is the ministry in name and the stage name is Creations5 7 Muzik though its not like the normal names we've been used to here in the gospel music industry but I can tell you it's Divine.

Taking back a memory lane, when I was giving this ministerial assignment, 2 Corinthians 5:17 is the word God opend up to me. And He told me then that i am now a New Creation and I just wondered how? Then He revealed it more to me from the things I use to do and the things He now wants for me.

So I keep those word in my heart. One day, very close to my birthday May 7th. He called it Grace and Perfect to my hearing and from there I tag my ministry name.

Even though by then I've been going out for secular music performance and yes I'm doing it perfectly but then He called me to His Grace where some level of newness and upgrade was attached to my Life and hence, my music ministry.

4. Talking about Hymn, what is your take or view on the subject of Hymn?

Res: Well, Glory to God.

I'm fortunate to hail from a denomination where HYMNAL has always been used for the orders of service.

Though it started as a doctrine but later had a clear understanding of it as I grow in it.

I could remember, then as a leader of the choir, I would have to select hymns to present to the church for Sunday services and the likes, and the experience I got is, many a times, the Spirit of God is saying the same thing in the pastors message as the hymn I chose for the service.

Personally, it has grown to an extent in me that some Hymns are subject to life instructions for me land whenever I'm singing either in church or Party, I take pleasure in doing some Hymns in my list of songs.

In fact, I have some Hymns in my music album to be released soon. And they are hymns that has to do with one situation in my life.

5. Is Hymn doctrinal?

Res: A doctrine by english dictionary is a belief or tenet, especially about philosophical or theological matters.

So, it looks like that but the truth is it's more than just Songs or a way to order our service in church. It is in line with what God has to say per situation and traceable to the scriptures and we all know that the scriptures are God's breath and inspired by His Spirit.

6. Going by scripture, what do you have for people or Churches that has neglect singing Hymns?

Res: By doing such, we tend to lose the totally of the package God wants to give His people.

In fact I will say, our song is not balanced without it. Just as scriptures will compliment scriptures, so our hymns in church should compliment our songs in church or even as a song minister.

7. With your answers, I understand that you might be operating in a pastoral realm or a teacher's office, and I love that. How can Hymn be use as a warfare spiritually?

Res: Well to answer that question ma. I will say this..

When Jacob was on his way out of his father's house and in his journey, we came with this great line of hymn lyrics... Hymn 833 of CAC

Un o sunm'Olorun

Un o sunmo O....

Verse 2 says

Ni ona ajo mi

B'ile ba su

Bi Okuta si je

Irori mi

Sibe n'nu ala mi

Un o sunm'Olorun

Un o sunmo O.

Are you in great trouble and trails darkest night and tumor which I've been there before.?

You know you're trying to pray or even engage yourself in some level of fasting but it seems like there's no response Hymns has the ability give directions and light unto those paths by the guide of the Holy Spirit in you.

You know I can go on and on the testimony of hymn at each Junction of my life.

When I feel lonely, my secret hymn is "Wa ba mi gbe, Ale fere le tan" Hymn 22

There is something more about spiritual warfare and Hymns.

I'm giving that Hymn because i sense there is a need for someone to have that.

8. What do you prefer in singing Hymns. English or Yoruba?

Res: Though I was raised in a Yoruba speaking church and then I got exposed to more of it but sometimes I still do English. But on a preferable note, YORUBA is key.

Hummm!

There is a recent one I would like to just share ma.

I found myself in the midst stand point. Nothing was going out or coming in and i walked up to a spiritual father in the Lord and discussed at length with that man of God. And in His response he gave me Hymn775 and behold it solved everything I've been lamenting over.

1. Okan aare ile kan mbe

L'ona jinjin s'aye ese;

Ile t'ayida ko le de,

Tani ko fe simi nibe.

Duro, roju duro, mase kun

Duro, roju duro, mase kun

Duro, duro, sa roju mase kun.

2. Bi wahala bo o mole,

B'ipin re l'aye ba buru,

W'oke s'ile ibukun na;

Sa roju duro mase kun:

3. Bi egun ba wa l'ona re,

Ranti ori t'a f'egun de;

B'ibanuje bo okan re,

Oti ri be f'Olugbala.

4. Ma sise lo, mase ro pe,

A ko gb'adura edun re;

Ojo isimi mbo kankan;

Sa roju duro, mase kun!

Amin.

10. Have you noticed any healing when you minister in Hymn? In your life or lives of congregation

Res: Whenever that happens, I've learnt by experience that they want to just reach out because of such healing in their lives.

Healing of the body, I can not really figure out. But that of the soul, I've have so many testimonies on that ma. Infact some will have to find their way to reach out to me and just bless me in kind after song ministration.

11. Someone might be reading your interview and have interest in following you, can you please release your social media handles?

12. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TELL US THAT WE ARE YET TO ASK OR TALK ABOUT?

Res: As we are talking about Hymns now, we should bear in mind that it has it source and never baseless but been rooted by divine encounters of different authors hence, it has so much power to perform miracles, signs and wonders when we key into its realm.

I'm pleeding to music ministers to stay in the place of encounters before producing songs so that our songs can level up to the heavenly standard because there are different sources of songs.

Find the right source to produce right music. John 4: 23-24

As we do that, we would purify ourselves and so whatever comes out of us will be holy and acceptable in God's sight.

Thanks you.
