On November 15, 2019, Kanye West released his gospel album 'Jesus is King', marking a significant shift in his music career.
The album's release was met with both praise and criticism, with some hailing it as a spiritual awakening and others dismissing it as a publicity stunt.
Kenyan televangelist Lucy Natasha, however, has come out in support of the album, praising West's decision to use his platform to spread the message of Jesus Christ.
Speaking on her social media platforms, Natasha wrote, "I'm thrilled to read about Kanye West using his testimony of what God has done in his life to point thousands of people to Jesus Christ. Kanye shares that God has called him to hold what he has named Sunday Service Experiences with music and the preaching of God's Word. This is reaching a whole new group of people."
Natasha also urged her followers to pray for West, acknowledging that he may face negativity and temptation as he continues to spread his message.
"Pray for Kanye—there will be many temptations and the devil will try to discourage, distract, and even destroy him. Pray that he will keep his eyes focused on Jesus and that God would guide and protect him. God bless you, Kanye—we're praying for you. God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called," she wrote.
