As Christians across the world mark Good Friday, renowned gospel artistes Timi Dakolo, Nosa Omorogie, and other ministers are headlining the second edition of The LOGIC Church’s “Jesus + Nothing” Worship in Lagos.
The event, scheduled to hold at The LOGIC Centre, Lekki, today is expected to draw a large turnout of believers for what organisers described as a message-driven worship experience centred on the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Also billed to minister are Emmanuel Smith, Gerald Bishung, MagPsalms, Mera Owili, Steve Hills, Uche Okereke, and Yinka Erinle, bringing together a rich mix of gospel expressions aimed at reinforcing the message of Christ through music.
Addressing the press and guests ahead of the gathering, the Lead Pastor and Apostolic Head of The LOGIC Church, Apostle Flourish Peters, expressed appreciation to media organisations, ministers, and church leadership for their support, emphasising that the event is more than a conventional worship concert.
According to him, the initiative is a deliberate effort to preserve and communicate the Gospel in its purest form not only through preaching but also through music.
“There is a unique power in music. You may forget a sermon, but a song stays with you. If you want truth to remain, put it in a song, it becomes unforgettable”, he said.
Drawing from Scripture, Peters noted that even in the Old Testament, God instructed Moses to put His words into songs to ensure they endure across generations, highlighting the enduring influence of music in shaping belief.
He stressed the need for a shift in Christian expression from merely singing about God to intentionally singing the Gospel itself: the message of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.
“This is what tonight is about emphasising the finished work of Christ through song. His sacrifice, His blood, and the redemption we have received,” he stated.
Highlighting the significance of Good Friday, Peters described it as a moment for deep reflection on the cross and its meaning for believers.
“When we sing about what Jesus has done, we bring God the same pleasure He had when Christ died for us,” he added.
He further clarified that the gathering is not designed as entertainment, but as a focused worship meeting aimed at anchoring hearts on Christ.
“Our faith is premised on an empty grave. While we celebrate His birth, it is His death, burial, and resurrection that define our faith. This is the highest point of our belief”, he said.
Reinforcing the theological foundation of Christianity, Peters stressed that salvation is rooted in grace rather than human effort.
“God demonstrated His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Now we are accepted, forgiven past, present, and future and welcomed into God’s family,” he said.
While acknowledging that the message of the cross may appear foolish to some, he maintained that to believers, it remains “the power of God unto salvation.”
“This is what we are celebrating,” Peters concluded. “And we are not ashamed of the Gospel.”
The Good Friday worship also serves as a prelude to the upcoming Jesus + Nothing Conference, scheduled for May 28 to June 1, 2026, which is expected to attract participants from across Nigeria and beyond.
With free admission, organisers say the event is open to all, reinforcing its central message, a return to Christ, and Christ alone, at the centre of worship.
