The question of source of inspiration is very subjective in any art form, you cannot hope to find the source of inspiration in a song simply by looking at the lyrics or even the 'message'.

The source of inspiration is almost always....experienced.

You cannot listen rose muhandos music and not consider its message with some seriousness, weather you are a christian/saved or not.

Pamela or Jimi gaits rags to riches stories may have the 'positive message' aspect but are wanting in depth of inspiration.

You see when warren buffet speaks about money.. his whole life is behind his words it doesn't matter if he is grammatical or sounds smart or dresses the part... he speaks from inspiration from truth.

When a Harvard finance professor speaks about money. It is theoretical and dead

In the same way, when rose muhando sings praises to God. You subjectively 'get' the inspiration behind her lyrics, her relationship and awe of God is almost transmitted to the listener.
When Jimmi Gait sings about ...well becoming a sonko... the 'message' may be there but the sender is not God.

That is why some 'gospel' music makes easy listening for a drunken crowd.


A positive message does not constitute the gospel.

Brothers n sisters i implore us not to judge, for a there is only one judge, He who gave us the law. In James 4:12, it says ".........but who are u to judge." Some of these gospel songs might not appeal to us but remember the Julianis, Daddy Owens were called from the "world", raised, saved so that they could go back to the society they have come from to tell them in the language the society best understands the good news of salvation. Remember Jesus used to heal the sick, cast demons n send them to to tell their neighbours what the Lord has done to them, Luke 8:98-39. Like the man from Gerasenes from whom the demons had gone begged to stay with Jesus but He sent him away saying.."Return to your home n dec;are how much God has done for you, the Julianis of today are simply going back home to proclain what has hapened to them, in a way that both the society n them can understand. Each one of us has a duty to "Return home n proclaim the good news". Once we appreciate n internalise this, we will not spend time judging as we will be so busy spreading the good news back home!
