Nigerian Gospel minister and worshipper, Agaga Praise Kukeurim professionally known as Yadah is renownedly known on the gospel music scene to hunger passionately for the sharing of the gospel.
She is evidently a great, seasoned and passionate song writer whose musical work centers on touching the lives of many who haven’t heard the gospel of Jesus and his works.
Reminiscing on her song, Beyond Me which is a song that came out of deep gratitude to God for his undeserved mercies she shares that, “I had just studied about Adam and Eve and saw the fall, how it happened, how man was hiding, how they were trying to cover themselves with fig leaves that kept falling off. I could see God’s love looking out for them even in that moment.
So I prayed and thank God for looking beyond us. I had this other song “free of charge” and I was just singing it with a heart filled with thanksgiving, I was praying and the lines just came “looked past my sin, guilt, shame and poured your love, you looked beyond me oh, you looked beyond me oh. I kept singing these lines for a long time until while rehearsing we burst into the other part “I’m the one that you have shown mercy”. The song came without a struggle and I see it as a gift everyday.”
Yadah believes in dreams and that you can become whatever you want if you are willing to learn and do all it takes to become it. In her words, “I believe in the one and only true God. I believe that he gave his son who came as a man to die for our sins and that through his death on the cross we have the remission and forgiveness of sins. I believe that whosoever believes in the son has eternal life and a hope for the coming glory and manifestation of sons. I believe in Christ’s cross and all that it is to a believer.”
