The album LION OF JUDAH is a collection of twelve amazing songs beautifully crafted as a prophetic tool to enhance personal and corporate worship experience of God’s people. The album is a work with a beautiful combination of chants, high praise, passionate prayer and deep solemn worship songs. LION OF JUDAH is blessed with a rich musical form, style and coloration that combined the African and western composition techniques. By the influence of the Holy Spirit Rev Igho Lewis Yegbeburu and The Glorious Fountain team have been able to capture a glorious time of worship that becomes fresh and real so anyone can relive the experience through this recording. This album qualifies for the highest standard of musical rating and spiritual resource. The beautiful arrangement of creative and original melodies and harmony expressed in sacred lyrics is second to none. ABOUT EACH TRACK The first four tracks of this album are actually a medley of songs beautifully arranged to deliver the message which began with the first two tracks which together form the title tracks called LION OF JUDAH. This well linked medley should quickly usher anyone into an atmosphere saturated with the consciousness and presence of Jesus who is the Lion of Judah. This is a song with the prophetic grace to break down satanic strongholds and establish the Lordship of Jesus over every territory or circumstance. Starting with a musical sound that heralds the entrance of a great king and followed by a passionate and energetic chant proclaiming him as the Lord of Host truly defines the purpose of the album. The third track I WILL WAIT brings to life the Bible verse of Isaiah 40:31 which speaks of God renewing the strength of those who wait on him. From a very vibrant and energetic beginning in the first and second track, the tempo, rhythm and energy drops in the third track to give room to a strong express of deep desperation and hunger for the divine intervention of God. This is the kind of song that increases faith and gives the encouragement for one to hang on till the change comes. By the time you are in the fourth track MIGHTY KING OF GLORY; a strong assurance that God will show up and the darkness shall be dispelled, your soul and faith begin to rise. The fifth track YOU ARE JESUS is a strong intimate cry of a worshiper from the heart, it is calm and beautiful. The sixth track LET ME BE THE WORSHIPPER is another cry of the worshiper for an unbroken fellowship with the Lord and features with the sweet voice of the legendary Lenny Leblanc in a duet with Rev Igho L Yegbeburu. The seventh track LORD I WANT TO SEE YOUR GLORY is one soul lifting and spirit refreshing sound that is heavenly inspired to stir up the heart of a true worshiper for more of the glory of God. This song was graced by Nathaniel Bassey an incredibly gifted trumpeter and singer. The eighth track COME, HOLY GHOST COME which started like an acappella is just out of this world. The blending of the hearts of the musicians, singers and the audience was too amazing. Immediately the song begins, you can sense the hunger and passion from the hearts of men in need of the precious presence of the Spirit of God. Tracks nine to twelve are a collection of independent songs interwoven into a medley in a classic arrangement that is a combination of orchestral and contemporary styles of music. They include NONE LIKE YOU/ YOU ARE MY MASTER (track nine-medley), MY WONDERFUL SAVIOR (track ten), NONE LIKE YOU (track eleven), I’VE SEARCHED AND I’VE SEARCHED (track twelve). Following the uniqueness from the very first track to the last no soul should be left without truly encountering the bliss of heaven. TESTIMONIES One outstanding testimony that came out of this work is the healing of a lady who was HIV positive. She and her husband were present for the live recording during our worship experience at the City of Refuge. During the worship she went flat on the floor crying out to God and then went home worshiping God with the song “DELIVERER” and not long after, when they went for the test, the result attested to the fact that she has been healed of HIV and the test conducted twice shows that she is HIV negative. We are receiving testimonies of the avalanche of God’s glory that is saturating and transforming the lives of many. Many are being restored, refreshed and revived for the glory of God. We are so glad to be counted worthy as a part of what God is doing in our world. ABOUT THE GLORIOUS FOUNTAIN MINISTRIES The Glorious Fountain Ministries is an interdenominational body in the forefront of promoting Christian worship with a touch of heavenly bliss wrapped up in excellence and true passion. By the impact of this work, our home town the city of Warri has enjoyed quality and soul soothing music from internationally recognized artist like, Don Moen, Paul Wilbur, Lenny LeBlanc, Muyiwa and River songz, Nathaniel Bassy and the likes. These are artists many never expected to turn up for an invitation to a place like Warri, but the undaunted effort of Rev Igho L Yegbeburu and the enthusiastic Glorious Fountain team backed by the grace of the Almighty God is helping make a huge difference. Due to the past negative developments of communal clashes, destruction of lives and properties, pipe line vitalization, militancy, kidnapping and other menace, not many expect anything good to come out of Warri and like the biblical character Nathaniel doubted when he was told that they have found the Messiah and he is one of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, he mockingly asked, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” To these skeptics the answer given to Nathaniel is still very appropriate, “Come and see.” (See John 1:45-46). Something good and glorious is happening in our time and it is good to know it is all happening in Warri, Delta State to help restore the battered image of the state and the country. Bishop Kevin Bond who worked on this project has produced the likes of Kirk Franklyn, Mary Mary, Donny Mc Cluckinns, Cece Winans, Bishop T D Jakes and the Potters’ House Choir and a host of other stars that resulted in high recognition and well deserved accolades. It was under his supervision the Glorious Fountain Choir was able to release her first live recording in a twelve track album titled “THE KABOD ENCOUNTER” in 2012. It was an historic event as that project was the first ever live gospel music recording of this proportion in Nigeria. The rich quality and high standard of the audio and video of the album has made it a delight to Radio listeners and TV viewers both on terrestrial and satellite stations. It is such pedigree and testimonies that are the reasons behind the high expectations and joyful anticipation in the hearts of many who are itching to hear the release of this latest production. Again, this is another historic accomplishment as it is on records that this is one of the two albums by the same artist that was released to hit the airwaves the same day. EXPECTATIONS “LION OF JUDAH” is a beautiful work that will help stir a consciousness of the presence of God and usher many into His he presence. Many will be healed and delivered from demonic oppression as this song is heard all over the nations.
