The House on the Rock Church, in Bauchi State, on Friday, held one of Nigeria’s largest gospel concerts tagged ‘Zamar’, with many talented gospel artists exhibiting their talents.

Speaking shortly before the commencement of the concert, the Convener of the concert and senior pastor, House on the Rock, Bauchi, Pastor Micheal Akor, said that the exercise was to spiritually prepared Bauchi State and the country at large for peaceful general elections.

Akor added that the event was an interdenominational gospel concert that helps to promote peace in the country by bringing christians of different denominations together with God’s love.

“What gave birth to Zamar is that I have been having this vision in my spirit for about two years and I have been running away from it.

“However, God told me that we are coming into a time that the church has to arise in great power and strength and in order to do that, it has to release a sound as we stay in the place of prayer.

“God told me that Zamar is something we should make happen and you cannot talk of the church exercising authority without unity and because of that Zamar is bringing the whole body of Christ together to lift up a sound in praise and worship and also in the place of prayer”

“We are having the Catholic mass choir, the Cocin, Zumatan Mata, Ecwa, Baptist, all ministering here, just to fuse in the whole system where we begin to exercise our authority as the body of Christ.

“This is Bauchi in the North-East, a lot of people don’t want to come this way, Zamar is bringing the North-east in the news for something good, we have been hearing negative reports concerning the Northeast, but this time, we are hearing of something good happening,” he said.

Also Speaking, one of oldest gospel artists who is recognized internationally, Dr Panam Paul, said that the Zamar gospel concert is the beginning of building the bond in the body of Christ that Nigeria has not had in a very long time.

On this 10th, while I was getting ready to go drop the card with them, I was accompanied by my brother’s two children who were supposed to be with me on that boat together. On getting there, I saw Emeka. He was my DOP. He was just sitting. I was surprised because I didn’t see others.

“I asked him what is it? People surrounded him. He was quiet. I said Emeka, talk to me, what is it? why haven’t you crossed? Where is Ogolo? Where is everybody? has JP come? He was quiet.

Emeka now said ‘”JP Don go! Abigail don go! Friday don go! Precious don go! I still did not understand what he meant by that. I said Emeka what do you mean? Don go where? He said ‘’Them dey inside water!””
