There is no other form of Music apart from Gospel Music. Words from Nigerian Born, International  Worship Leader and Music Director, Marvel Joks. On his exclusive interview with www.nectesgmedia.com.ng Star reporter, Sammy Sas.

Sammy Sas: Please can we meet you?

Marvel Joks: My name is Min. Marvel Joks. And am a Gospel Music Minister, conference speaker, writer, author, and international  pioneer Music director of Omega Fire Ministry, under the leadership of my Spiritual Father Apostle Johnson Suleman.  Am the CEO of Joks Music,  and the visioneer of WORLD CHANGERS MUSIC TEAM INTL.  A team that builds music ministers and also win souls for the Kingdom through the mandate God gave us to FILL THE EARTH WITH WORSHIP. And we do this by Organizing conferences, worship meetings, music ministers seminars and giving out My music album for free in most cases. Am Marvel Joks a Gospel Music Evangelist

Sammy Sas: So tell me about your early days growing up?

Marvel Joks: Growing up for me was interesting, because I grew up in church as a church boy. My father was a pastor, now a Reverend of the Assemblies of God Church. So I grew up in church. However not in a particular place ‘Cos Pastors get transferred every now and then. It was adventurous, getting to change school, meet new friends. But then it’s disadvantage is my repeating some classes hmmmm… But growing up for me was great, My Parents thought me the way of the lord, and how ministry works. Growing up was beautiful…

Sammy Sas: Hmmm… That’s Amazing… so when did you realised you have a passion for music?

Marvel Joks: Well music has always been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Music is my call, my passion and my life. So it’s been inside me since childhood. I was Eight (8) Years old  when I joined the senior choir in my church. So music has been a Part of me for long.

Sammy Sas: What kind of music do you do?

Marvel Joks: Well it depends. If it’s about Genre of music, then I would say Soft Rock. But if it’s about whether it’s Gospel or Secular, I do strictly Holy Ghost filled, life changing, Gospel Music.

Sammy Sas: Tell us was it because your father, been a pastor, the reason you went into Gospel music or you never had any secular artist you loved as a teenager?

Marvel Joks: Well in my teenage age of ignorance as a young Singer I use to do voice training with boys2men. Those were  my days of thinking music is all about your vocal prowess  hmmm.  However apart from the purpose of rehearsals in my teenage days, I never did Love Secular music. And for the reason I went into Gospel Music, it’s not because my Dad is a Pastor BUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER FORM OF MUSIC APART FROM GOSPEL MUSIC. What the world calls secular music today is a PERVERSION of Gods original intent for music. I can’t say all here (you should come to one of our conferences to get a full Revelation understanding of Gods original intent for Music.) So I do Gospel music Because I AM CALLED BY GOD TO SAVE SOULS THROUGH THE INSTRUMENTALITY OF MUSIC. PREACHING AND SINGING GODS WORD to heal our Land.

Sammy Sas: So with your experience so far, what do you think is the major challenge/problem in the Nigerian Gospel music industry?

Marvel Joks: Well I believe the major challenge in Gospel music is the church not welcoming and treating Music ministers as Clergy’s. Treating music ministers as Entertainers needed to entertain people and also a means and medium of gathering crowd. This age long attitude has driven Music minister rogue, and make them look for livelihood by other means. I believe if the church system welcomes music ministers, the Music industry will take a better shape.

Sammy Sas: Being the face of Omega Fire Ministry, and the Music director of the commission, having recently embarked on some tours, kindly tell us about your achievement, since the inception of your professional career?

Marvel Joks: Face of Omega Fire Ministry?  hmmm. Who says so? I am not the face of Omega Fire Ministry. I am a son of the ministry that has found favour in the eyes of God. And although my songs are all over the world for now I have only done tours in African nations.  Its will be Europe’s Turn to Experience God through the instrumentality of worship, next year 2017. And my achievement so far is the Joy of Fulfillment. Having people giving testimonies of how my songs have touched them, healed them, given them hope, revived their spiritual life. There is no better Achievement than That.

Sammy Sas: You had a couple of ministrations in Ukraine this year right?

Marvel Joks: Early this year I was supposed to be in Ukraine but an emergency came up few days to my flight and I had to Postpone. However the Event went as planned and souls were blessed. I will go there next year to make it up to them.
