Popular Gospel singer Ebuka Songs has come out to urge Nigerians to embrace love and forgiveness. This is coming amid backlash over his appearance on TikToker Peller’s livestream.
The musician, who trended online after the session aired, recently shared photos of himself on Instagram with a caption that appeared to address the controversy.
Reacting via his social media page, Ebuka simply emphasised that God wants his children to love everybody, not a select few.
Quoting 1 John 4:4 to his followers, he declared that Christians should never forget that our mighty Creator will always be greater than he who is in the world.
“LOVE ALL, HATE NONE  I LOVE YOU ALL AND I KNOW YOU LOVE ME TOO .
‘Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.’ 1 John 4:4 AMPC,” he wrote.
Recall that during the livestream, Ebuka led a short worship session, singing some of his popular songs.
However, things took a controversial turn when Peller mimicked speaking in tongues and altered the lyrics, a move several Christians frowned at online.
Thanking everyone who corrected his decision to appear on the livestream, Ebuka noted that he is a young follower of Christ who is prone to mistakes.
The singer concluded by saying that he has nothing against correction, and he’ll always remain open to proper guidance.
“I appreciate the corrections from fathers and voices I respect.
However, I won’t allow myself to go down like how other mentors have died and gone down by the criticisms of other so‑called men of God.
I am a young boy in my early 20’s, I have time, I could have chosen to live my life how I wanted but decide to follow Jesus.
What were you doing when you were my age? You were an occultist and sinner. My intent was never to desecrate what is sacred but to be a light in a dark place.
I believe in correction and I remain open to being groomed for greater impact. Pray for me,” he added.
