Well-known gospel minister Dr. Panam Paul recently related how he was given £24 million (about ₦7 billion in 1995) to change his songs by removing more names of Jesus.

Industry executives contacted him with a lucrative deal at the height of his popularity, on the condition that he limit the number of blatant references to Jesus in his songs. He remembered that one executive even proposed referring to Jesus by other names, such as the Greatest Lover or the Righteous One.

But with a stern “you can keep your money, I’ll keep the name,” Dr. Paul turned down the offer.

He expressed his concerns about the commercialization of gospel music and pointed out that the ministry has evolved into a field where money interests influence both creative and spiritual decisions. Additionally, he said that gospel musicians were once urged by Alaba marketers to employ speaking in tongues in their songs—not for spiritual enlightenment, but rather because it increased sales.

Dr. Paul called for a return to genuine gospel music that puts faith above money, warning that outside forces are controlling what and how gospel ministers sing.

His narrative serves as a lesson to artists to uphold their moral principles in the face of industry pressure.
