Artist Watch: Colton Dixon

Colton Dixon could be considered as one of the most exciting contemporary Christian pop artists in his generation. After his seventh place in the eleventh season of American Idol, his musical career really took off and he became a successful Christian artist. Colton Dixon has now released his newest single ‘Miracles’ after three years of no new releases. Will it become a smash hit like his other songs?

He was a choir member throughout high school and occasionally sang in worship services. However, his biggest breakthrough regarding his singing career came from a successful run on the eleventh season of American Idol. He ended up taking seventh place and was signed by Sparrow Records afterward. His time at Sparrow Records was quite successful with two Dove awards for his albums ‘A Messenger’ and ‘Anchor.

Colton Dixon has now signed at Atlantic Records and released his newest single after three years of no new releases. ‘Miracles’ is a modern, uplifting song that ticks every box to become a smash hit this year! Listen now to ‘Miracles’ on YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, and Maasbach Radio.

Free Prayer Calender

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR YOUR FREE PRAYER CALENDER!

Prayer is one of the most easy things we can do. A child, an uneducated person or an illiterate: everyone can pray. On the other hand: those who walk with God for many years already and have a strong prayer life will say that prayer is one of the most difficult things.

People say that having a need will teach you to pray. But let Jesus be the One teaching us to pray! Then God will manifest His power on earth through our prayer life. According to Biblical example we want to call you to boldly ask God for BIG things. A boldness and prayer given to you by Jesus.

Pray and ask Him for nations and peoples. Ask Him to save the world. Let Jesus lead you to stand in the gap for a country. Start praying, calling, begging and speak salvation, deliverance and healing in Jesus’ mighty name!

Artist Watch: Maasbach Worship’s ‘Vuur en Vlam’

Maasbach Worship is a Dutch worship band that consists of musicians from the Blessing Churches in the Netherlands. The band is led by worship leaders Jesselyn Afriyie and Micha Maasbach who also wrote the vast majority of the songs that the band has released in the last years. Their newest album ‘Vuur en Vlam’, translated ‘Fire and Flame’ is definitely a “hot” addition to their great discography. Pun intended!

This album’s title: ‘Vuur en Vlam’ comes from a central sermon theme of The Blessing Churches’ lead pastor David Maasbach. “Being on fire for Jesus means that we are so filled with the Spirit of God, that we will do all things in life with Him and for Him.”

The title song ‘Vuur en Vlam’ of this album resonates with this powerful stance for the Netherlands, the home country of the worship band. The song calls for a conversion of the people of Holland. However, at the same time, the song is also a declaration of the current work of the Holy Spirit throughout the Netherlands.

Maasbach Worship’s newest album contains many more songs with a powerful message while bringing their contemporary and refreshing worship sound. Listen to Maasbach Worship’s newest album “Vuur en Vlam” on iTunes, Spotify and Maasbach Radio.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Thanks and praise go hand in hand. So while you are giving thanks for what is, we’re sure each person reading this is in need of something. Maybe you need a financial miracle, perhaps you may be having marital issues, or even you are on the hunt for a job. Whatever it is, the atmosphere and climate are just right for a miracle. We believe that God is going to meet you at your point of need this season. Change is about to hit you, and the blessing that you are about to experience, your storehouses will be unable contain.

So, whatever you do, or however you feel, or whichever circumstance may come your way, Praise Him!

Happy Thanksgiving from The Blessing Family Music Station.

Love on others during the holidays!

The holiday season is a time of joy and love, but for some it can be a lonely season. Why not show some love and compassion to those around you!

• How do I receive compassion for others? By Dr. Ladonna Osborn

Here are some ideas on how you can love on others during this holiday season:

1. Get crafty and personable with your presents.

Instead of pushing and suffering through the big crowds at the mall, get crafty with your gift-giving and give your loved ones something they’re sure to cherish for years to come. You’ll be excited to give it to them and they’ll feel overwhelmed with love and joy when they open it.

2. Send cards to extended family and distant friends.

It isn’t always possible to have that face-to-face interaction with those we love—especially distant relatives and old friends that have moved away. Thankfully, though, there’s an easy solution: send them fun holiday cards! You can even include a meaningful letter or note inside that warms their core when they read it.

3. Arrange a secret Santa exchange at work.

Whoever invented Secret Santa is a genius—it cuts back on time and money, while also maximizing the fun that is gift-giving! Go ahead, what are you waiting for? Talk to your coworkers and plan the details. This fun game will provide laughs and love aplenty.

4. Invite a lonely friend over for Christmas dinner.

Not all of us are fortunate enough to spend Christmas with family—but no one should spend it alone. Consider inviting a friend or coworker that’s new to town over for the holidays. They’d surely love some company and appreciate the invitation for years to come.

5. Donate blankets and food to the homeless.

The truth is that the holidays aren’t the “greatest time of year” for everybody. In fact, it’s the most difficult time of year for some. Help make it a little brighter by showing the homeless some love—take them some blankets and food to enjoy this season.

6. Tell all of your loved ones that you—well—love them.

Oxytocin, or the “love hormone”, is a neurotransmitter released during social interaction: hugging, kissing, or simply bonding. It’s also a big part of the reason interacting with others is so beneficial to our health. So, don’t wait another minute—go show your loved ones some love. Hug ‘em, kiss ‘em, whatever you deem fit!

More about the message:
A man named Jairus, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with Him to come to his house because his only daughter, was dying. As Jesus was on His way, someone of the ruler’s house came and told them that Jairus’ daughter was dead. Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.” The devil knows when to come around to cause fear to come up in to your heart to doubt the promise of God and to tell you it’s too late to receive a miracle. But God has already provided for you, all you have to do is reach out and take it, and He will give you the desire of your heart.

The nuggets of the gospel

The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ and hasn’t lost it’s power since the day Jesus rose from the grave! Apostle David Juma from Nairobi, Kenya, shares the ‘nuggets of the Gospel’ with us on Maasbach Radio, taken from Romans 1:1-6:

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— 2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. 6 And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

Listen to Apostle David Juma from the Maasbach Radio studio as he talks about the effect of the gospel on our lives: it calls us to serve God!

• Faith Injection by apostle D. Juma: The call of God

This weekend, apostle David elaborates on the subject of the call of God while sharing his own testimony. He shares how he gave his heart to Jesus and how God started using him from an early age. Be encouraged by a special prayer from the Maasbach Radio studio by apostle David Juma on saturday and sunday, on the half hour.

Artist Watch: Rhett Walker

Rhett Walker is the lead singer of the well-known Christian Southern rock formation ‘Rhett Walker Band.’ Since a few years, they’ve been releasing their music under Rhett Walker’s own name and with much success. His latest single “Believer” is now trending in the Christian Charts. How did it all start for the band and why did they release this single?

Rhett Walker Band was founded in 2011 and is fronted by Rhett Walker who handles most of the vocals and songwriting. Together with Kenny Davis as their drummer, guitarist Joe Kane, and Kevin Whitsett on the bass, he released his debut album in 2012 ‘Come to the River.’ This album proved to be an immense success and even landed in the top 10 of the Billboard Christian Album Chart.

The success of the band proved to be huge with multiple Dove awards and even one Grammy nomination. Over the years they’ve released multiple singles that scored fairly well in the charts. However, the band decided to change their formula in 2018 by focusing more on Rhett Walker as the main vocalist of the band. This resulted in the release of ‘Believer,’ their latest hit.

Rhett walker beautifully describes his reason why he wrote this song. “ I wrote this song to combat the daily struggles and thoughts of ‘I’m just not good enough,’ because we serve a God as a believer that says ‘Yes, you can’t be good enough, but I sent my son to die on the cross and pay the ultimate sacrifice so that way your foundation can be freedom.”

‘Believer’ is a powerful pop-rock song that can definitely spice up your playlist. Listen to ‘Believer’ on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

When you feel unworthy…

This week we have a special girl visiting us at Maasbach Radio.

Her name is Justyna and she is from Poland. Justyna wants to share with you about the time that she felt unworthy and insecure. Then, Jesus met with her and after saying a special prayer, God changed the way Justyna felt about herself.

Are you struggling with the way you see yourself? Do you feel like a failure? Do you feel unloved? Make no mistake: Jesus loves you so much more than you can ever imagine. Be encouraged by Justyna’s story on Maasbach Radio. She will also pray a special prayer for you to feel relieved from these negative thoughts.

Remember:

You are loved (Romans 5:8)
You are strong (Philippians 4:13)
You are wonderfully made (Psalm 139:13-14)
You are covered with grace (Hebrews 4:16)
You are called (Romans 8:30)
You are confident (Hebrews 13:6)

Artist Watch: Avalon

Avalon is definitely one of the household names if you’re a seasoned contemporary Christian music listener. This American vocal quartet dominated Christian music charts from the late 90s till the early 00s with hits like “Adonai,” “Testify to Love,” and “Can’t Live a Day.” Avalon has now released a new single after an absence of more than a decade. Is this a musical revival of the once-legendary Christian vocal group?

Avalon’s track record even dates back to the mid-90s. Norman Miller of Proper Management proposed his idea of a highly skilled vocal group, consisting of two male and two female vocalists to Grant Cunningham, who was the A&R Director at Sparrow Records at that time. Initially, the idea didn’t result in the formation of a compelling sounding group, but Cunningham didn’t abandon the ‘Avalon’ project entirely.

In 1995, Cunningham visited an artist showcase in Nashville. Quite unexpectedly Michael Passons caught his attention. He would later become the first of the group’s founding members. The group changed over time on multiple occasions, but the concept of two male and two female gospel vocalists that could sing very tight harmonies stayed the same. The group did win multiple Dove awards and was even nominated for multiple Grammys over time.

The latest members of Avalon have now returned with the single “Keeper of my Heart” after a decade of absence in the music industry. The song has a very contemporary sound that fits today’s standards but still adds enough nostalgic elements to remind us all why we loved Avalon’s music. Listen to Avalon’s “Keeper of My Heart” on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

Pastor Joseph Okoko’s Story (Congo)

Pastor Joseph finds a lot of common ground in the story of Joseph other than their first names. Listen to pastor Joseph talk about the ‘new Joseph generation’ by clicking the play button below:

• Interview with pastor Joseph: ‘The New Joseph Generation’

Pastor Joseph points out some characteristics of Joseph in the Bible and how they relate to the new Joseph generation:

1. Joseph came to take away the shame of his mother. Rachel was barren and unable to bear fruit until she have birth to Joseph. Spiritually, there are a lot of churches and ministries that are barren and without fruit. The new Joseph generation is a generation that can take away the shame of the church and of ministries all around, by being a fruitful generation.

2. After Joseph came Benjamin. The new Joseph generation comes to continue, to add and to move forward in the promises of God. A generation that will allow God to ‘add another son’.

3. Like Joseph, this generation will be big dreamers! Capable to dream and see visions (Genesis 37:5). People can put a stop to just about anything, but they can’t stop you from dreaming.

4. Joseph was given a high position is the house of Potifar, but he still wanted to remaine pure and holy. When the wife of Potifar wanted to sleep with him, Joseph ran away. The new Joseph generation is a generation that sanctifies themselves and is aware of the grace of God yet does not take advantage of it!

5. Joseph is a symbol, a type of Jesus. This generation will also be one of people that are longing to be Christ-like. A people that are longing to save others from famine (symbolically) and a generation that forgives.

Pastor Joseph was born in Congo and grew up during the war. A lot of people used to tell Joseph that Jesus loved him, but he always wondered: “Who is Jesus?!”. When Joseph got to know Jesus, he realized he couldn’t do anything without Him. This ultimate dependence on God led to an incredible manifestation of God in Joseph’s life with even seeing dead raised to life. Listen to pastor Joseph’s incredible story on Maasbach Radio this weekend, on the half hour.

Artist Watch: Lauren Daigle’s Spontaneous Worship Moment

Lauren Daigle’s record-breaking album ‘Look Up Child’ celebrates it’s 1-year anniversary this week and it’s still going strong. In the last year, the album has won multiple Grammys and Billboard awards. This resulted in media appearances for Lauren Daigle at the biggest television shows in the United States. It also sparked the fuel for a successful world tour for the just 27-year old singer.

At the beginning of her musical career, it was already clear that Lauren Daigle could become a “once in a generation” recording artist. Her debut album “How Can It Be” already debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart. The real question was: ‘what more was there to achieve?’ That question was answered one year later by becoming the highest-charting woman of her generation with a Christian album on the Billboard 200. That is what she achieved with her 2018 album “Look Up Child.”

It resulted in multiple Grammys, Billboard awards, and Dove awards. Furthermore, it resulted in a well-visited world tour. Lauren Daigle managed to attract mainstream and even secular media attention and listeners to her album, which is quite rare for Christian album releases. Even if she received some criticism for engaging with other media outlets than solely the Christian ones, she never forgot the Lord.

In a recent video on her Instagram, she shared a spontaneous moment of worship during her tour, which surprised and delighted many of her fans. It was truly a powerful moment that defines one of the most popular Christian artists of today. Listen to “Lauren Daigle” on Maasbach Radio, iTunes and Spotify.

Why do we have to die? It’s because of disobedience through the sin that came in to the world. But Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly.

“Jesus restored my life”

Artist Watch: Zach Williams

Zach Williams is one of the most popular Christian male vocalists in the music industry today. In just a few years God turned the life from this former lead singer of a worldly rock band upside down to serve Him. Zach Williams’ newfound musical passion has been proven to be very successful with two Dove Awards and one Grammy Award. He has recently released his newest single ‘Rescue Story,’ which tells his beautiful story on how Jesus found and freed him.

 Zach Williams grew up in a pretty stable household in Jonesboro, Arkansas. His father was a worship leader and guitar player at their local church and both of his parents raised him in a home of Christianity, love, and safety. Zach focused on basketball in this period of his life. He turned out to be quite a talent and was scouted by colleges all over the state to grant him full scholarships. This success led to an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol in his life, which eventually led to losing everything he had been working for up to now.

It was at this low point of his life that Zach started to get back into music. After college, he moved back home but pursued the lifestyle of a worldly rock star with tours across America and Europe. His excessive use of drugs and alcohol continued but came to a stop when one of his band members started to attend a church. Zach and his wife joined his band member in the church and this is when God started to turn his life around. He was completely set free from his drug and alcohol addiction and became very involved in the Christian music ministry.

His song ‘Chain Breaker’ in 2017 strung a very touching chord in many hearts, and it definitely established Zach Williams as one of the most influential Christian male vocalists of today. Since then, many of his releases held top spots in the Christian music charts and were nominated for prestigious music awards.

Zach Williams has now released his new single ‘Rescue Story,’ which powerfully reflects on Jesus’ sacrifice to rescue us all, no matter how lost we are. Listen now to ‘Rescue Story’ on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

Artist Watch: Jason Gray

Jason Gray is noted as one of the most compelling songwriters in the Christian music industry. He has had a very turbulent childhood with challenges that would shake the faith of many. However, God saw his situation and lifted him mightily up into the music ministry that he has today. This is all captured in his newest album “Order, Disorder, Reorder,” which will be released in three parts over 2019.

Jason Gray was born and raised in Minnesota. His musical journey began with singing in bar bands for a long time. During his childhood, he faced many challenges like living in a broken family with an abusive and criminal stepfather. His personal situation also caused the development of a speech handicap, which resulted in insecurity regarding using his musical gift. However, when his mother gave her heart to Jesus, it all turned around for his family. Jason Gray also gave his heart to Jesus in his youth and he started to write songs with a deep foundation in the word.

It was quickly noted that his songs had something special and it eventually resulted in a record label deal with Centricity Records in 2006.

Artist Watch: Tasha Layton

If you love hearing about what God is doing in lives all over the world, you don’t want to miss Tasha Layton’s testimony. There aren’t many Christian pop-artists in the world that totally turned their backs on God and the church before becoming famous. Tasha Layton did, but praise God… she returned to God after a long journey in her life and became a chart-ranking Christian artist.

Tasha Layton grew up in a small town in South Carolina where she devoutly attended church. In the teen years of her life, she began to sing in church and even led worship at her youth group. She was ignited to combine her love for music and God, but unfortunately, her church experienced a painful split. This also left a painful imprint in Tasha Layton, which heavily influenced her life. At a certain point in her life, she even left the church altogether with a confused heart.

She took these feelings with her as she continued onto college, which eventually resulted in depression. To the point that she even considered suicide. It was at this moment that she began searching for God again. She switched her major from music to religions to start her journey back to God. During her search for God, Tasha even went to Buddhist meditation camps and mosques, but found the One true God when she once again came to Jesus: “I realized in all these other religions you had to strive to pursue God; whereas, in Christianity, He is chasing after us.”

From that moment on, Tasha’s life took a rapid turn into the truth of God. She went to seminary and started leading worship again. She successfully attended American Idol, where she met the right people for musical success. She even married Grammy and Dove Award-winning producer Keith Everette Smith.

The seat of peace

This week on Maasbach Radio we have an inspiring conversation with pastor Abraham Goni Dogo from Nigeria. He talks to us about the ‘seat of peace’ that we all have in our hearts. Join us and be encouraged by this special word.

‘It takes power to look at something that was thought to overtake or destroy you and to just be sleeping. Jesus, the Prince of peace turned to the storm and said: “peace, be still”. The force of peace is stronger than the force of every storm!’

• Listen to this powerful word!

Pastor Abraham was born in a small village in Africa. When he accepted Jesus in to his life, Abraham told his father (the king of his village) that they needed to take down the shrines of aldultery. With much courage, Abraham succeeded in getting rid of all false religion in his village. Now, his village is incredibly blessed and often protected from attacks because of the favor of God. Listen to pastor Abraham’s incredible story on Maasbach Radio this weekend. He will also pray a powerful prayer for you as you tune in to The Blessing Family Music Station.

“Without Christ, you will definitely be in crisis”

From drugs junkie to Spirit filled pastor

Pastor Jerry Mendeszoon is lead pastor at Victory Outreach church in Rotterdam. Pastor Jerry and his wife have a great desire to reach out to drug addicts and bring them to Jesus.

• Pastor Jerry on MRADIO

Born in the Caribbean, Jerry had pretty much everything a young kid desired. Still, he rebelled against authority and lost his way through alcohol, drugs, the nightlife and women. After 12 years of addiction, Jerry found himself eating out of trashbins and sleeping on the streets. He tried multiple rehabs but couldn’t break free from this bondage. Jerry started to become suicidal and found himself at the trainstation, seeing train after train rush by but he couldn’t bring himself to the point of jumping. After this heart wrenching moment, Jerry cried and prayed: “Lord, if You are alive and if You free me from this bondage, I will follow You”. After 6 months Jerry was completely clean!

God is now using pastor Jerry in the city of Rotterdam, a capital for drug addicts, to bring the hope of Jesus that once transformed his life. Together with his wife, he takes in souls that need a Savior and that want to break free from their bondage. They have successfully helped over a 1000 souls in the past 20 years. To God be the glory!

MRADIO on location

Maasbach Radio is live at the Mega Conference in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

• Pastor Joseph Okoko at the Mega Conference

The African Blessing Church is having a 3 day conference on: The Agenda of God. Mradio reporter Christy got to speak with some of the visitors and pastors at the conference. Highlight of the conference is the message brought by Dr. David Maasbach on sundayafternoon. He spoke on how nothing happens ‘just like that’. If you want your miracle, you have to put your faith into action. We see this principle throughout the whole Bible! The women with the issue of blood, the high priest Jairus, you name it – They all had to take a step of faith, perform an act of faith, to receive their miracle.

Artist Watch: Rend Collective

Rend Collective isn’t your everyday typical Christian Pop-Rock band. They’re unique, refreshing and packed with nostalgia. With their Irish roots, Rend Collective brings catchy folk elements and blends it masterfully with the sound of contemporary Christian music. This amazing music group has recently released their newest single “Your Name is Power.”

It all started for the band in 2002, when it was established under the name of The Rend Collective Experiment at Bangor Elim Church in Northern Ireland. The total size of the group is around 15 people, but it only tours and performs with six members. The mission of the band is to spiritually encourage individuals to come back to the church, especially in these dark and hostile times.

The band released their first albums in the early ‘10s at record label Kingsway, before it was taken over by Integrity music. The band funded their albums at the time through crowdfunding on Twitter and Facebook. The band did pretty well on Christian charts at the time, but their biggest breakthrough was in 2014. The album: “The Art of Celebration,” even peaked in the US Christ Charts! Sparrow Records noticed and contracted them immediately.

This led to many more successes, including a Dove award nomination in 2018 for Worship Album of the Year. Rend Collective has now released their newest single “Your Name is Power.” This is a powerful song that was born out of the necessity to remind us of who is in control according to the band. Listen now to “Your Name is Power” at Maasbach Radio, iTunes and Spotify.

More about the message:
There was a famine in the land of Israel and the prophet Elijah came to a widow and asked her for a cake. The woman didn’t have anything anymore and was about to make the last cake for her and her son. Still, she chose to be obedient to the servant of God, and because of that God blessed her. How can I be obedient to God if I’m down to nothing?
