Speaking on Channel One TV’s Upside Down Show on Sunday, December 22, MOG highlighted the significance of relationships in the ministry of  gospel music.

The award-winning artiste emphasized that while a lot of resources go into conceptualizing and executing music projects, the value of relationships often surpasses financial considerations.

“Money is good, but I believe what gives good money is the relationship. If you can manage the relationship well, you can harness a lot more than how much you can even charge,” he stated.

He elaborated on how relationships can lead to unexpected blessings and opportunities, noting that a strong connection with people makes it easier to collaborate and give freely without reservations.

“This is because when I have a relationship with somebody, giving my everything to the person wouldn’t hurt because of the relationship I have. There is a saying that the highest form of currency you can ever find is a relationship.

“So, for me, my goal has always been building a strong relationship with people that God lays in their hearts to put me in programmes. By so doing, they end up being a blessing more than I could expect or I would charge,” he stated.

“… I don’t blame those who ask for money upfront before their show. It is because of their experience from certain events or certain individuals. So, based on that, they take a firm stance that you have to pay for them or they are not coming.

“For me, I can’t share my opinion on it. My thing is, it is based on how you relate with people. When I see it, it will affirm if I am going to come the next time you invite me or not.”
