God's Generals in Gospel Music (Present and Past)
When God uses a man (vessel) He'll wash the vessel, damp the vessel of every moist, polish the vessel, and then keeps it safe for another use.
When the devil uses a vessel its totally the opposite. No cleaning! No damping! No polishing! No preservation!
Isn't that awesome? God sure has his vessels in mind. The devil could try to stain your testimonies by bringing challenges your way.but be sure that GOD HAS HIS VESSELS IN MIND. On this page, You 'll get to see some of God's generals. I'm sure I mention them all, but if you know of any great gospel artist in your locallity or country, pls do leave your comments.
Greatness is not measured by the amount of albums released, the amount of award recieved nor places he /she has ministered at. Greatness here is measured by the impact (his/her singing) singing/songs has made in your life: how God has used his/her ministrations to bless you.. Below are some of God's Generals all over the world.

Sonnie was raised under a strict Christian upbringing, his father, Reverend Agyeman Prempeh,

Sonnie Badu is a multiple award winning Gospel singer, songwriter, philanthropist,
producer, TV presenter and author. He is arguably the most successful gospel export to
emerge out of Africa in recent years.
His unique blend of intimate worship, high class visuals, and his energetic style of
ushering congregations into the presence of God is affecting lives worldwide.
Sonnie leaves his audiences mesmerized both emotionally and spiritually.
Sonnie Badu began his musical career at a very tender age, under the tutelage of his father,
a prominent preacher in his hometown of Accra, Ghana. His decision to become a gospel singer
has to do with a close encounter with death at the age of 18, when he was struck with a deadly
virus. He recounts that it was in this moment as he lay on the hospital bed slipping in and out of
consciousness, with his mother singing hymns into his ear that he made a vow to rededicate his
life to God, if he pulls through. It seemed like an irresistible offer to God as immediately
he entered into that covenant, his body began to regain strength. It was then that Sonnie Badu
‘The Worshipper’ as he is popularly known was born.
In rising to the pinnacle of achievements, his hall of fame is replete with these significant laurels:
he organized the first Africa worship concert in UK in congregation with most High Commissioners
and ambassadors. In 2009, he received numerous honors and accolades for his contribution
to the gospel community, winning a BEFFTA (Black Entertainment Fashion and Film Award)
in the category of Best Gospel Artist. He was also the recipient of three awards at the Gospel
Music Awards Italy in the categories of Best Gospel Artist in Europe, Best Worship Artist of
the year and Best Worship song for the smash hit single ‘Covenant Keeping God’ and to crown
the year, he was decorated the Best Gospel Male at the British Gospel Music Awards.
He added to his resume best worship song, video of the year and best male contemporary
in the recent Africa Gospel Music Awards in UK. In 2010, Minster Badu received the two
awards in the course of one month: Best Gospel Artist at the 2010 African Music Awards
(AMA) held at the Wembley Arena in London on October 15th, 2010 and Best Musician at
the GUBA Awards which was held in London on October 24th, 2010.
For Sonnie Badu, it is an honor and privilege to stand and lead God’s children in the art of
spiritual intimacy. His ministry houses the presence of God and where God’s heart is,
His hand will be. Testimonies of healing and breakthrough follow him wherever he sets
up to praise. He has performed in a number of countries alongside gospel music stalwarts
such as Bebe and Cece Winans, Donnie McClurkin, Yolanda Adams, Martha Munizzi Alvin
Slaughter, Kierra Kiki Sheared, Noel Robinson, Muyiwa, Kurt Carr, Lionel Richardson,
Ron Kenoly, Juanita Bynum, Sammie Okposo, Mike Aremu, and more.
In 2008 he launched the annual ‘Sonnie Badu Worships’ program. So far the event
has been held in London, Germany, Italy, Ireland, New York, Maryland, Atlanta,
Virginia, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, Ghana and Canada and its reputations continues
to spread with more nations coming on board in the new year. At the moment,
Sonnie’s main task is to help improve the lives of those less privileged in Africa and
indeed other parts of the world. In this regard he has stepped up his Ministries Charity Project,
‘Thy Dwelling Place’ Orphanage. He undeniably has an unfinished business with destiny;
therefore watch out for more of intimate prophetic worship and Sonnie Badu Clothing line
known as’The Worshipper’s Garment’ (SB.WG) as well as two new books scheduled for
release in 2010.
