Nigerian gospel music minister Kayode Solomon, widely recognized as Kay Wonder, has urged Nigerians to maintain hope and resilience amid the nation's ongoing challenges while striving for collective advancement.

In his remarks about the transformative power of love and gratitude towards God, Solomon highlighted how these qualities can lead to significant positive changes on both personal and national levels.

He made these statements during the announcement of the 5th edition of the annual gospel concert, Invasion Praise, set to occur on October 13, 2024, at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos.

Under the theme "Fragrance of Grace," the concert promises to be an impactful evening filled with worship, prayer, and praise. Kay Wonder encouraged Nigerians to join the event, seeking divine guidance and inspiration for a more hopeful future.

“In times when hope appears distant and the prospects of provision and survival seem merely theoretical, our sole source of joy, inspiration, and support is God. He is the only steadfast Anchor we can rely on,” he stated.

The gospel minister remarked on the significant growth of Invasion Praise, which has garnered positive responses from attendees.

“The concert transcends a mere gathering of gospel artists; it serves as a platform to express gratitude to God for His unwavering faithfulness and to look forward to His abundant blessings,” Solomon elaborated.

Reflecting on previous editions, he noted that the first four concerts have been marked by remarkable testimonies of divine interventions.

“Numerous participants have reported miracles, including healings, job promotions, blessings of fertility, and the breaking of generational curses. These testimonies have continued to resonate long after the events,” he added.

Solomon also emphasized the spiritual and personal advantages of attending the concert.

“Worshipers return better energized, fulfilled, and blessed. They receive tangible miracles and are spiritually inclined to contribute to nation-building. It’s a platform where relationships in the body of Christ grow stronger, and the nation benefits as a whole.”

Looking forward to this year’s edition, Kay Wonder expressed excitement for what is to come. “This year’s concert will be a life-changing experience for everyone. We are trusting God for His mighty move in an extraordinary way. Many anointed vessels and minstrels will be present, and the planning of this event is taking on new dimensions.”
