Saxophonist Mike Aremu Thrills Jesus House, London

Truly amazing. Truly uplifting. It was indeed an experience to behold yesterday, at Jesus House, London. Deeply talented Mike Aremu rocked his sax with beautiful songs of praise like Higher, higher, Blessed Assurance. He danced and danced with his back lowered to his knees while playing the sax at the same time with just one hand! Everyone was marveled. His display not only promoted the uniqueness of his culture, it lifted everyone(and I mean, literally). The entire church was on their feet...singing and dancing. What facinated me most was his ability to link those traditional nigerian sounds to create passionate sounds of praise. Of course, it ended with unrestrained applause. No doubt, Mike Aremu is simply a world-class saxophonist.

This charismastic musician is using his God-given gift and talent to fulfil his purpose on earth. I pray that God uses him in bigger and better ways for His name to be glorified wherever.
