Gospel singer Lily Perez on Thursday ministered in music at the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Abuja, delivering soul-lifting sessions of praise and worship.
The service drew hundreds of worshippers, who sang along as Perez performed several of her original tracks, including ‘Eyin Nikan’, ‘Amazing God’, and ‘You Do Mind-Blowing Things’.
Perez, known for her message-driven gospel music, said her songs are written to communicate God’s unconditional love and grace.
“The Gospel is not a threat message,” she said.
“It is a love letter to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ, the begotten Son of the Father.”
She noted that the struggles of many Nigerian Christians stem from a lack of revelation about the finished work of Christ.
“The issue is not fewer prayers or shortage of pastors,” she said.
“The real gap is in knowledge, knowing that we are not just servants of God, but sons and daughters who serve a loving Father.”
Perez further spoke against the perception of a wrathful God, urging believers to embrace His love.
“God is not angry with you,” she said.
“He is madly in love with you, love you enough to die for.”
Perez has gained recognition for her unique blend of worship, Afro-fusion, and soul, using music as a platform for spiritual healing and edification.
She released her debut album Seat of Victory in 2017, followed by Amazing God in 2022. Her songs have since gained airplay on Christian radio stations and online platforms.
She continues to minister at churches and gospel concerts across Nigeria and abroad, drawing a growing fanbase with her passionate delivery and lyrical depth.
Perez urged Christians to embrace their identity in Christ and reflect His love in daily life.
“When you understand how much God loves you, it changes everything, how you live, how you worship, and how you love others,” she said.
COZA, founded in 1999 by Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, is a non-denominational church headquartered in Abuja.
Known for vibrant worship and youth engagement, the church hosts prominent gospel artistes and speakers from around the world.
It has campuses in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Ilorin, and Dubai, and continues to expand in reach and influence. (NAN)
