Penon Paul leads night of worship, live recording

Worship music is increasingly finding new expression through live recordings that bring congregations, gospel ministers and music lovers together. Against this backdrop, gospel singer Penon Paul is set to lead ‘Sounds of Worship’, a night of praise and live recording featuring Judikay, Shallom Jonathan and other gospel artistes.
 
Organised by gospel music minister, songwriter, and recording artiste Penon Paul through Penon Music, a fast-evolving music outfit known for projecting authentic gospel sounds with excellence and spiritual integrity, the event, which is billed to hold on Sunday, November 15, by 5:00 PM at Favoured Place, 25 Ikorodu Road, Wasimi-Maryland, Lagos, marks the return of an initiative birthed from a deep desire to create an atmosphere where people can encounter God through authentic, Spirit-inspired worship.
   
Founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown, Sounds of Worship began as a weekly online worship gathering streamed on Instagram and Facebook. What started as an hour of worship every Thursday has grown to become an expression of a larger vision: to create a platform where worshippers could come together beyond religious routines, musical performances, and conventional expectations to genuinely seek the presence of God.
  
Now returning in a live physical gathering, the initiative takes another significant step with a worship experience that will also serve as a live music recording. The vision, according to the convener, Penon Paul, is simple: to see hearts drawn closer to God through worship, and to create an atmosphere where the focus remains on the One who deserves all the glory.
  
His ministry is rooted in passion for God’s presence, songwriting, and the expression of biblical truths through music. His approach to worship places emphasis not merely on musical excellence but on the spiritual significance of worship as a lifestyle and an expression of devotion to God.
  
“Sound of Worship is not a concert where you come to watch stars; it is a consecrated altar where worshippers become the offering. It is more than a conventional gospel concert,” Paul said, adding that “the gathering is intended to redirect attention from performance and entertainment to the heart of true worship.”
  
“We have a lot of sound, but little worship. God is looking for worshippers, not just singers. Sound of Worship is where heaven listens and earth responds,” he stated.
   
Adding to the experience is an impressive lineup of gospel music ministers who will join Penon Paul in leading the gathering. Among the ministers set to feature is Judikay, one of Nigeria’s recognised contemporary gospel music voices, known for songs that have resonated with worshippers across different generations. Her ministry brings a distinctive expression of praise and worship, making her one of the anticipated voices at the gathering.
  
Also featuring is Shallom Jonathan, whose musical expression combines heartfelt worship and praise, bringing an atmosphere of intimacy and spiritual engagement through his Niger Delta-flavoured ministration.
   
Bill to feature in the gathering is Minstrel Oyinlola Sanusi, a worship minister whose expression is centred on reverence, devotion, and a passion for God’s presence. Her contribution is expected to add another dimension to the collective worship experience.
  
Fisayo Check, known for his vibrant musical expression and energetic approach to praise, will also be part of the lineup, bringing a distinctive sound and an engaging expression of contemporary gospel music.
  
Completing the guest minister lineup is Umoru Philemon, whose soulful approach to worship reflects a deep sense of reverence, hunger, and devotion to God. His participation adds another unique expression to the gathering. Together with Penon Paul, these ministers will contribute their individual expressions to an evening designed around one central purpose: the exaltation of God.
