Based in Belgium but from Nigeria, Winnie Martins is popular in the gospel music scene for her incredible, spirit-filled inspirational songs and collaborations with a couple of internationally celebrated musicians including Tim Godfrey, Limoblaze, and a couple of others.
Her latest single is titled God of Elijah.
A fire could mean many things in different instances. Sometimes, the fire could represent passion and a strong will to get something done. Other times, the fire could mean danger and a trigger for fear. But in Winnie Martins’s latest single titled “God of Elijah”, fire represents the presence of God and His ability to defend and fight for His people.
The song was produced by Ojekunle Ayodeji and expresses the writer’s desire for God to show up for them and make things right. It is drawn from the Biblical story of the prophet Elijah calling on God to send fire down from heaven against the heathen worshippers of Baal. In the same light, this song is a heart cry to God for Him to prove Himself mighty and defend his people in times when they feel lost and most lonely.
