Christians must learn the principles of thanksgiving- Elicia Degreat
• Elicia Degreaton
Ghanaian-Germany based gospel musician, Elicia Degreat has urged Christians to develop the habit of thanksgiving.
The musician who is out with a new song dubbed, ‘Adom’ said the message in her song is “if I have just one leg, I will do everything in my capacity to praise God for all the good things He has done in my life.”
EliciaDegreat told The Spectator that she came from a poor background, adding that” where I came from and where I am now, there is no denying the fact that I am a product of grace.”
According to her though the journey has not been smooth, she has learnt that in good and bad times, God must be praised and that is what gave birth to her new song.
EliciaDegreat further admonished Christians to learn the principle of thanking God and declaring His word on their lives.
“As Christians, we must learn to give thanks for what God has done and is about to do in our lives, let’s learn to show appreciation to our maker for all He does for us,” she added.
Talking about music promotion as a diaspora artiste, she noted that social media and the digital space have made it easy for artistes to promote their songs across the world.
The singer also admonished Men of God and event organisers to place value on gospel artistes and pay for their services because whatever they do to stay in ministry involves money.
EliciaDegreat has been in the gospel music industry since 2010 with an album and a single , according to EliciaDegreat she sees herself becoming great like her name.
Adom is available on all digital music stores
