The call of God on his life to go into music ministry led him into music group in his church. He has been singing with lives being touched at his ministrations. He has taken his ministration from the four walls of his local church to the world. On Friday, 18th December, 2015, BRO. COLLINS AGBO will release his album, Unending Praise to the world. Brojid.com editor, JOSEPH DINWOKE had a chat with him on how he started; the challenges he encountered and how he surmounted them. Sit back and enjoy the conversation.


Let’s get to know you.
My name is Agbo Collins Chukwudi. I am from Egede in Udi Local Government. I am also a staff of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I am a member of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, Jesus Reigns precisely. I am also a praise and worship member in my church, St Peter’s Chaplaincy.

What motivated you into singing?
I find it joyful whenever I sing. It comes to me naturally; in fact, I believe its God’s gift to me. If God has done anything for anybody like me, the person will not have any reason not to sing. I noticed that when I sing, lives get touched. Singing has become part of me because each time I look around me, I see reasons to thank God.
What prepared you to sing?
First thing is the calling. I felt a sense of calling to go into music. The calling propelled me to go for trainings and join praise and worship groups and from there I continued. So, the training is part of it but first you need to have the calling.
Did you encounter any challenge in your music ministry?
Yes. One of them is the issue of finance. I have planned to record and release this album in the past but each time I remembered that I have to pay for production, I gave up. But when God’s appointed time came, I had to go for the production. That’ why I encourage people to wait on God’s appointed time because when the appointed times comes. He will always actualize whatever He has planned for us.
In practical terms, how did God fix the challenge of finance?
God gave me job and from there I saved money and have been able to fix the problem of finance.
I have planned to record and release this album in the past but each time I remembered that I have to pay for production, I gave up. But when God’s appointed time came, I had to go for the production.
So, have you encountered any other challenge?
I have encountered some difficulties in terms of doing the training and practice. Sometimes after singing I forget a particular song and many other challenges. It has not been easy but when God’s time came, he gave me the inspiration and everything has worked out fine.
What is your new album all about?
The album, Unending Praise is an album produced to get us to praise God in every situation. In all condition, keep praising God. Don’t stop praising Him because there is nothing He doesn’t know. The more we praise Him, the more we attract His blessing and gain His favour.
When will the world hear your song?
It will be released to the world live on Friday, 18th of December, at Wisdom Hall, St Peters Chaplaincy, University of Nigeria, Nsukka at 2.PM.
There is a youth who is supposed to release his songs but has been dormant. Please talk to that youth directly.
My dear friend, don’t worry about the time. Don’t worry about the money. Just follow your calling; in due season, your dream will surely come to pass. Remember that it’s not by your power; so always pray to God. Consult him in all situations. He knows the best. Always praise Him; don’t wait until the money come.

  2. Be motivated and set goal for yourself

     Write your story
    Write down, in a paragraph or two, the story of your desired future. Write down what you’ll be doing, where you’ll be living, and the successes you’ll be enjoying.

     Visualize into the Future
    Close your eyes and see yourself doing whatever it is that you wish to be doing. If you want to get in shape, picture yourself as being slim, healthy, you running or working out. If your dream is to start a business, see yourself on
    opening day, greeting customers and employees.

     Visualize Backwards
    When you visualize backwards, you see where you were and how far you have come. If your goal was to get organized and you have made enormous improvement in that area, visualize back to when things weren’t going so well. This will keep you heading in the right direction.

     Dream Big
    When you think about your future, don’t be afraid to dream big. This will make short-term failures easier to handle. When you hit an obstacle it won’t stop you because your eyes are set on a bigger goal.

     Educate yourself
    Learn, read, talk about, listen, and experience everything you can about your particular goal or dream. If you wish to be an author, you can take classes, read books, write, talk with other writers, join workshops, etc.

     Find a Role Model
    Choose a role model to learn from. You won’t have to reinvent the wheel when you can follow an exemplary exam with someone you respect.

     Get Organized
    A clean, tidy, and well-organized home, office, and life are a must for the motivated mind. Physical clutter can easily lead to mental clutter. Keep your life organized and you will find more energy and clarity in every day.

     Place Motivators in Your Home and Office
    Place symbols, signs, notes, or objects that remind you of your goals and dreams in your home, office, car, wallet, planner, or calendar. These reminders will guarantee a constant stream of motivation.

     Read Motivating Quotations
    Located on the internet and in books are thousands of quotations that inspire, motivate, and cause us all to think of our lives in a different way. Search the internet for quotations and you will find millions of pages that match just what you are looking for.

     Spend Time with Children
    Spending time with children will put things in perspective for you. You may be stressed out from work and worried about getting everything done on time, but when you play with kids, the worries and stress seem to melt away. Children have a simple way of looking at things, and that is something we could all benefit from.

     Read Success Stories
    Read the success stories of those around you. In the daily newspaper alone, there are dozens of small success stories that can serve to motivate and inspire you into action. The library is filled with autobiographies and biographies of ordinary men and women who have done extraordinary things.

     Create a Healthy Diet
    Energy is very important to living a happy life, but that is dependent on eating healthy. Be sure to create a healthy diet that includes all of the necessary nutrients, minerals, and vitamins for your system.

     Get Enough Sleep
    Some people can get by on six hours, while others require seven to eight. Regardless of what you need in sleep, be sure you get enough. A few nights in a row of only three or four hours a night will take its toll on you motivation, energy and attitude.

     Change the People Around You!
    Sometimes a negative people in your environment can limit one’s motivation. If you have friends who bring negativity into your life, you may have to “change the people around you” and create friendships with people who are positive and of like mind with yourself. If you can’t change the people around you then change the people around you.

     Positive Affirmations
    An affirmation is something declared to be true, or a positive statement of judgment. They enable you to let go of negative emotional baggage and allow you to visualize a new order and sense in your life, which you can work toward achieving.
