Singer and songwriter Korode Bello
On Sunday, June 9, 2019, 23-year old Lagos-born singer and songwriter Korode Bello was in the congregation at Pastor Tunde Bakare’s Latter Rain Assembly Church in Lagos.
The Afro-haired Marvin Records star whose single, “Na Godwin” became a national song on release in 2014, was shocked when the fearless man of God stopped preaching and called him out from the large congregation.
The pastor requested from the artiste a hug and a snap shot right on the pulpit.
Korode didn’t believe his ears when the pastor announced to the congregation that each time he (Bakare) watches Korode on television, he says silent prayers asking for God’s protection upon him against all the “hawks” in the entertainment industry.
And right there, the man of God showered prayers and special anointing for Korede to possess the spiritual power to excel in his musical career.
Talking about the uncommon spiritual encounter later, the mass communication graduate from the Nigerian Institute of Journalism said: “Indeed, as far as I am concerned, na Godwin in line with my song.”
So, when next you get close to the Nigerian Police Force Ambassador, remember he now possesses some spiritual powers too.
