Speaking about her new single;

Rachael Owojori expressed gratitude to the Almighty God for the grace, support from friends and families as well as fans both in Nigeria and in diaspora.

Her words;

"This song is more than just music—it's a prayer of commitment.

God inspired me to compose ‘Give Me Jesus’ during a time when I was urged to stop singing about God and Jesus to attract a bigger audience and achieve fame..

" I stood firm in my beliefs and refused to compromise because I know that fame, money and pretty much, everything without Jesus is nothing.

I find true contentment in my relationship with Jesus and hope that it touches hearts and encourages people to seek peace, hope and strength in Him.

.

"Although, I have faced various challenges due to my Christian faith, one notable experience was when a record label approached me with an offer to become one of their artists..

The condition, however, was that I would not sing about God or Jesus and I declined the offer. While I have encountered different challenges as a Christian, nothing compares to what our brothers and sisters endure when they are tortured and killed for their beliefs.

We must therefore continue to pray for our brethren who face persecution day and night". Rachael Owojori stated.

"God ministered to me to put the track into the country gospel music version titled 'Give Me Jesus.

'It is a heartfelt country gospel rendition that beautifully blends the soul-stirring message of devotion with the warm, acoustic tones of country music.

'With gentle guitar strums, harmonies rich in emotion, and a deep spiritual longing woven into every line and it offers a peaceful, down-to-earth cry for more of Jesus in this world.

'Ideal for quiet reflection, worship or moments of personal prayer. It's a reminder that, above all else, what the soul truly needs is Jesus,' Owojori stated.
