Panam Percy Paul is synonymous with gospel music in Nigeria. His new album, Prophecy was released on December 26 and the seventeen tracks will no doubt top many playlists. I wish you luck choosing your favourite song, because this in no way be an easy task…don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s been eight years since his last album, once again demonstrating the fact that it’s not about commerce. In his own words, “It’s a ministry from the Lord to myself and the people.”
In a recent chat shared on his IG page (@panampercypaul) he
confessed he’s been working on four albums simultaneously, but needed to get
this out. It’s prophetic and is about the next phase of the church and the
Nigerian nation. That’s why its title is prophecy. Interestingly only three out
of the seventeen tracks are the actual prophecies shared. Kingdom United,
Thieves, Robbers & Harlots and The Spell is Broken make for
concentrated listening as their messages are clear and to the point. Dr Panam
is also quick to say he’s not a prophet, but a messenger sharing what his father
told him.
With 48 years in ministry, he
confidently states, “This Album will birth manifestations of diverse prophecy
in your life, in our nation and in the Church. This is the kind of Album that
as you engage, manifestations will follow in diverse forms.”
At 8”34 seconds The Spell is Broken
is the longest of the prophecies. It starts with a reference to the interaction
between Balaam and Balak (Numbers 23:1-30&24:1-25). For those not familiar
with the story, Balaam was a prophet that the king of Moab, Balak hired to
place a curse on the nation of Israel. To find out what eventually happened I suggest
you read the entire story for yourself.
“But there is yet one more blood,
it is the blood of Jesus Christ. The only acceptable blood on the altar of the
Most High. He speaks mercy for the oppressed, but judgment for the oppressor.
This is the end of the wicked, those who ought to have died but by witchcraft
have extended their lives shall no longer be sustained, their end has surely
come. The land is free. Even the land shall vomit their corpses. The spell is
broken and we are free. So, it is written and so it has been declared.”
Do listen and share this
beautiful work from a living legend.
