Pastor Kesiena Esiri of The Remnant Christian Network (RCN) branch in Warri, Delta state, has condemned the intentions behind Gaise Baba’s recent gospel hit, No Turning Back.
The trending song has garnered over 6 million views on YouTube in two weeks. Pastor Kesiena Esiri, during a recent sermon, mentioned that gospel musicians should not use Jesus and evangelism as an excuse to wade into worldliness, in the name of culture shift. The clergy noted that the original version of Gaise Baba’s No Turning Back, originally known as “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus”, was born on the blood, tears, and death of men.
He mentioned that back in the days when the Christian hymn was sung, it came from a place of understanding the sacrifice that comes with serving God.
