Nigeria has released its own version of the song "The Blessing" made popular by Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes and Elevation's Steven Furtick and Chris Brown. It premiered on YouTube on the 31st May, 2020.
The original song was written at Elevation early this year during a writing session with Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes and Elevation's Steven Furtick and Chris Brown searching for the presence of God. It was written on a Thursday and, that following Sunday, they sang it for the first time at the Elevation Ballantyne campus and released the video five days later worldwide in March 2020.
This timely song has also been covered by churches around the world singing the song over the nations.
On the impact of "The Blessing", Kari Jobe said, "I have cried so many times as I’ve watched different people all over the world declaring the blessing over their families, their churches and their nations."
"God is a God of his word and this song is straight from scripture. I love how he never changes and is always with us and for us. That brings so much peace, especially in a season of disappointment, uncertainty and fear like we have all been walking through this year. 'The Blessing' is truth that we can declare daily over our lives, families, and others. So grateful."
The Nigerian song has been translated into different Nigerian languages and dialects yet carrying One Sound. With Apostle Ofodile Nzimiro as the project priest, it features so many award winning singers like Dupe Ige Kachi , Pastor Chingtok Ishaku, TY Bello, Olufunmilayo Oloyede and more.
