I Am a True Son Of God – Sunny Ade

Music Legend, King Sunny Ade says he sees
himself as a son of God and not a man of
God as most people think he is.
In a recent interview with TRIBUNE, he said
“You can’t just call yourself a man of God.
There must be a very strong covenant
between you and God before you can claim
that you are a man of God. I don’t see
myself like that, but if people call me a man
of God, it means I have to be very careful
because I have not heard from God. All I
know is that I am a son of God, not yet a
man of God.
I have always been a spiritual person and I
have been surviving as a spiritual person
since I was born.”
On his relationship with God, he said
“There is a touch of spirituality about my
existence that I can’t even explain, even as I
speak with you now, I still can’t explain it.
The fact is that I don’t even know how I
have been surviving till now. I didn’t study
music, nobody taught me music. Nobody
taught me how to play the guitar. But I
know it has been God all along.
Nothing else could have sustained me till
now and surely no one has, except God. I
think people are still looking at me with the
impression they had in those days when I
was still looking for fame. Those days, I sang
all sorts of songs because I wanted to be
famous, especially in Ondo town where they
worship Ogun. Every year, we worshipped
Ogun in Ondo those days, so I thought that
if I sang Ogun songs, people would accrpt
me; buy my album. But it does not mean
that I am worshipping Ogun or anything.
