Worship Song of the Week a.k.a. WSW

Worship Song of the Week a.k.a. WSW

By Ejiro Osakede

WSW is a podcast that began with the feature of a worship song that speaks to me each week. However, it is gradually growing into a platform that shares the worship story of anyone who is bold to share how God has been faithful and how a particular worship song motivated, inspired, and encouraged them through a season.

I hope that the stories and testimonies shared on this podcast will be a blessing to you and encourage you to worship beyond songs but use the songs as a springboard to leading a life of worship.

WSW S4 Ep 5 - How fear stopped me for 15 solid years! NO MORE

“Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are our own fears.”
— Rudyard Kipling

Welcome to today's episode of WSW Season four where we get to share the story behind a song. Today we feature @Nikkypebbles who recently released her debut song 15years after writing the song. She stated fear was one of the reasons she didn't do it. After several painful crises, God kept her alive. No better time than now to agree that She is a miracle as much as God is her miracle. 

Be inspired by her story and know that no matter what you might be going through God is always near and He is mighty to save.

WSW- I HAVE EXCITING NEWS!!!

WSW- I HAVE EXCITING NEWS!!!

First of all, I give all the glory to my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, who is at work in me both to will and to do of His great pleasure. I am grateful for the grace and strength to keep going even in the face of several oppositions and life's negating circumstances. 

Next, I want to thank YOU. Yes, you reading this text and also taking out time to listen to my podcast every week. I know you are busy and maybe you've only had the time to listen to an episode or two but thank you all the same for not stopping me from sending you my messages every week. That counts for something and I appreciate you for that. And for those times you've been able to listen to the actual podcast, gosh, I appreciate and celebrate you. God bless you real good. 

I promise today's episode is super short. Just 5min and it's basically to announce the next season which I am sincerely excited about. I would like to ask for your continued support. Specifically to help me share every episode of the podcast you get. Just a share on your Whatsapp status or Facebook page will do the trick. As it means more people clicking on the link and listening to the podcast. That way you have supported a sister and also blessed a life. 

God bless you. I love you, but remember that God loves you way more. You'd hear from me next week by God's grace. Until then, keep being amazing and have a productive week. 

With Love from

Hi Fam, 

Whew, even though it was a battle to get here, the important thing is that we are here. So I had some technical issues after recording this morning and I've been trying to fix that all day coupled with other things that I had to attend to. But thank God that this episode is finally up. 


I hope that you are blessed by this episode and shift focus from the challenges around you to fix your gaze on Christ who is the author and the finisher of our faith. God bless you and talk to you next week.

Washed - With Dominique

Washed - With Dominique

Happy Sunday to you!


How has your weekend been, hope good? I am happy to be here with you again this week. Today on the show I had my friend and sister Dominique all the way from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). She shared with us her worship song of the week Washed by Upperoom. It was part of a spontaneous worship session by these amazing young people you can watch the full video here https://youtu.be/IBCkeJYTJkM to listen to WASHED, you can skip to the 9min mark on the video. 

If you are born again then this is a reminder of your true identity in Christ. This is to remind you that you there is no more condemnation for you because you are now in Christ Jesus, so do not listen to the lies and deception of the devil when he tells you otherwise. 

If you are yet to accept Christ Jesus as your personal Lord and saviour, then I invite you to do so today, by saying this short prayer. Say, Lord Jesus, I accept you today into my life, come into my heart and be the Lord over my life and everything that I own, come and guide, lead and be my friend. Come Lord and cleanse me from my sins for I cannot cleans myself and I cannot by myself win over sin, I need you to help me overcome the power of sin over my life. Thank you for paying the price on the cross by taking my place, today, I accept your gift; your finished work on the cross and I surrender my heart to you. I pray in Jesus name. Amen. 


If you said that prayer with faith in your heart, I congratulate and welcome you into the family of God. Now you are a new creature in Christ. Now look for a bible believing church around and be part of a community of like-minded believers who would help you grow in your journey with Christ. Feel free to send me an email to ejiskede@gmail.com if you have any questions as to what your next steps should be.  I can't promise that I have all the answers you need but I am sure that His sweet Holy Spirit will give us all the answers we need for you to move to the next level in your walk with God through Christ. 


Thank you for listening, please remember to subscribe to this podcast and share with friends and family as well. Till next week remain blessed and have a productive week. God bless you. 


Cheers

Yippee! For the first time on the show, we have a male testifier. I was super excited while recording this episode and I really look forward to featuring more men on this podcast.  My guest on today's episode shared His Worship Song of the Week which is in French. Find the link to the song https://youtu.be/z3iQny7nJwY. The song means moving forward and it was lovely how Digra found it and how it spoke to his situation at the time. 

Listen and enjoy and don't forget to subscribe to this podcast. Till next week with another guest, keep looking forward.

Way Maker with Arnelle

Way Maker with Arnelle

There was so much laughter on this episode, so brace yourself. My guest on the podcast today matches my energy level. She is so sweet. LOL. First, I had a struggle pronouncing her French name and so I got a little french tutoring. Isn't that cool? You too can learn a thing or two. 


If you haven't heard the song WAY MAKER Originally by Sinach, where in the world have you been? Here is a link to it https://youtu.be/n4XWfwLHeLM 

If you have heard it or know the song, then you would know it is being redone by international worship leaders. The version that inspired Arnelle is by Leeland and you can watch it here https://youtu.be/iJCV_2H9xD0


I want you to know that no matter what you go through in life as long as you are hidden in Christ, He would always make a way for you. It might not look like the way you have in mind, but He does make a way for us and we just need to open our eyes and heart to see it and walk through it. I do hope that today's episode blesses you. 


Thank you for listening. Have a splendid week.

Happy Sunday to you. 

Glad you are getting to listen to today's podcast.  On this episode, my guest IVY shared how her worship song of the week titled REMEMBER by Bryan & Katie Torwalt brought her to a place where she never wants to forget who God is to her and what He has done, is doing and will do in her and for her. 

I hope that you get to check out the song for yourself and allow it minister to you too. Check out the song via the link below. 

https://youtu.be/3TM-daXqYAA

See Lyrics to the song 

How quickly we forget the God
Who lives in everyday
How easy to lose sight that You
Reside in the mundane
How quickly we forget the power
That's running through our veins
The kind of power that empties graves

And oh my soul
Remember who you're talking to
The only One who death bows to
That's the God who walks with you

And oh my soul
You know that if He did it then
He can do it all again
His power can still raise the dead
Don't tell me that He's finished yet

Let's we not forget the voice
That's holding back the waves
Was once the voice that told the skies
To pour them into place
Let us join the endless song of everlasting praise
The only God who empties graves

Oh my soul
Remember who you're talking to
The only One who death bows to
That's the God who walks with you

And oh my soul
You know that if He did it then
Then He can do it all again
His power can still raise the dead
Don't tell me that He's finished yet

If You broke through the oceans,
You can break through these chains
If Your word made the mountains,
It can move them all the same

If death fell before You
And it's still on its face
Then the power that raised You
Is about to move again

If You broke through the oceans,
You can break through these chains
If Your word made the mountains,
It can move them all the same

If death fell before You
And it's still on its face
Then the power that raised You
Is about to move again
Is about to move again

Oh my soul
Remember who you're talking to
The only One who death bows to
That's the God who walks with you

And oh my soul
You know that if He did it then
Then He can do it all again
His power can still raise the dead
Don't tell me that He's finished yet

Mm-mmm,
He's not finished yet

And oh my soul
His power can still raise the dead9
Don't tell me that He's finished yet.

WSW - EP 14 ( BEHOLD THE LAMB)

Today on the podcast, my friend turned sister Buki shares with us her personal revelation of this beautiful song written by Kristian Stanfill, Phil Wickham & Melodie Malone ( get a preview here https://www.worshiptogether.com/songs/behold-the-lamb-passion ). I hope it blesses you as you listen. 

Here are some scriptural references she mentioned at the end of her testimony. 


Revelation 5:9 New International Version (NIV)

And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll

and to open its seals,

because you were slain,

and with your blood, you purchased for God

persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.


John 1:29 New International Version (NIV)

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!


Thanks for listening. Remember to subscribe and share with friends and family. Have an amazing week.

WSW - EP 11 ( My Life is in Your Hands)

WSW - EP 11 ( My Life is in Your Hands)

“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow; it only saps today of its joy.” – Leo F. Buscaglia

Yes, you have the right to worry, but think about it, how has worrying about anything solved anything? There are thousands of quotes out there that talks about worrying. But one that gives a solution is the word of God. Embrace God's word, hold on to Him, Trust Him absolutely and see worry disappear from your life. Will this happen automatically? NO! You have to be intentional about it and yet not handle it alone because God has offered through Jesus and His Holy Spirit to help you work through it.

I hope that today's episode ministers to you and I pray that as you hand your life over to God, that you will experience the peace that comes with doing so.

Have a worry-free week.

WSW - EP 10 (NANI GI)

WSW - EP 10 (NANI GI)

January 23rd, 2016, I lost my dad. It was painful and disappointing. I felt like God let me down because at the time I was given to prayers and spending time with Him in Church. I was confident that God had answered my prayers of healing for my dad. So it was a shocker to me when I got a call on Saturday morning after a great time at a vigil on Friday that my dad was no more.

Today's song was a song that I kept on repeat, to keep me reminded that God is God, and He is good regardless of my situation. It's almost four years, and God has been faithful in being a father to my siblings and me.

I hope that as you listen to NANI GI, you will be strengthened to go through whatever tough times you are currently experiencing knowing that He alone is God and deserves our worship regardless of what we might be going through.

I pray you a wonderful week, filled with signs and wonders that God is always with you.

See you next week.

How prepared are we to allow God take us through the developing stages of His purpose for our lives? Sometimes we think we are ready when as a matter of fact we are not. My worship song for this week is a prayer as well as a reminder of who we are ( The Sanctuary/ Temple of the living God) and how we must align with God to ensure that we are ready whenever the father needs us. Enjoy and have an amazing September.
