Eben Mettle
Accra Technical University (ATU)’s music sensation, Eben Mettle has released a new single titled ‘Faster than Google’ on January 27.
The inspirational song is currently doing well on all digital platforms, with the young talent looking forward to making huge waves within the gospel music industry.
The Qodesh hit maker told The Spectator Agoro in an interview that, the new song was to advise the public to rely on God for solutions to their problems instead of the internet.
“It is time we make the world understand that God never created the internet to replace himself. He is faster than Google and any other internet search engine,” he stated.
The talented songwriter and singer, real name Ebenezer Mettle Lanyo said, “God has the answer to all problems and should be reached at any point in time.
“I have been through a lot as a child but has managed to go through those challenges with the help of God. That means God answers prayers and can do same for everyone,” he added.
With reference to Ephesians 5:16- 17, “redeeming the time for the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is,” he said, it was better to seek answers from God at all times.
The 21-year-old student said his ministry would be used to ‘strengthen’ people and give them reasons to move beyond their challenges.
He said, he would soon release a 10-track album which would take the gospel industry by storm with very inspiration and powerful tunes.
