How far has God brought you? Kent Edunjobi and EmmaOMG answer with “Ebenezeri,” a Yoruba praise song of thanksgiving for the help of the Lord.
A stone of remembrance
“Ebenezeri” is the Yoruba form of Ebenezer, which means “stone of help.” The name comes from 1 Samuel 7:12, where Samuel set up a stone and declared that thus far the Lord had helped them. That makes this a song for looking back, counting your blessings and trusting God for the road ahead.
The collaboration
Two well-known Nigerian gospel voices come together here. Kent Edunjobi is a singer, songwriter, music producer and drummer who began in church choirs. He has written and produced soundtracks for several Kunle Afolayan films and won the AMVCA for Best Soundtrack for “Anikulapo.” EmmaOMG, whose real name is Emmanuel Edunjobi, started out as a comedian and leads The OhEmGee Band, known for lively praise sessions that mix traditional and contemporary sounds.
When to sing it
At the end of a year, after a testimony, during a thanksgiving service, or any day you look back and realise how much God has done.
