COVER STORY
Oyediran Temitope TOPSY! LIKE DAVID.
Life misses are deliberate inactions, be prepared enough to engage with increased opportunities for this month. you are welcome to a good read here. We have something special for our dear readers. Like David! When I think about the Psalms in the Bible we read today, more than half of it was written and composed by King David. How about the songs and melodies he composed from his heart by pulling the Harp Strings, he played and evil spirit went out of Saul. That’s some powerful use of talent there. When I watched Topsy perform Live, this is exactly what came to my mind. Like David! This is how Our January Issue got tagged and I felt it’s quite inspiring to nd a budding Christian Star. His condence stir him to come online, and having display such vigor I think we need to help him reach out to the world for his amazing talent. Those videos of his rehearsals and Live performances were like Boom! i felt an explosion. This guy is a genius, i love to have him as the January Cover and that was it. The team set their targets and caught up with him. It was an expression of what we envisage, teenagers in this country are blessed and we are glad to introduce them to the world as youths using their God given talents to shine bright like a diamond. I hope you get to enjoy this January Issue (Like David).
