Marvin Sapp Comments On Jay Z’s Album Which Hit Platinum Before Release To Masses

Marvin Sapp Remarks On Believers Not Supporting Gospel Music

Pastor/Musician Marvin Sapp who recently released his newest single “Close” in June 2017 made a remark concerning renowned mainstream rapper Jay Z whose album went platinum in less than a week without physical album sales.

“#TransparentConversation#MyPersonalOpinion I was asked a question the other day that I wanted to address via social media.

Here’s the question, “Jay-Z’s album went platinum and it hasn’t even been released to the masses yet! It went certified platinum just on tidal!! Coming to apple and all other outlets next week!!!”

According to Marvin Sapp, the outcome of Jay Z’s platinum record is due to the fact that his fans recognize his messages and support him fully despite his flaws and shortcomings.

Marvin Sapp also indicated, that believers on the other hand will choose not to buy the albums of Gospel artistes because of their “presumed flaws and questionable lives.”

“What is that saying?” My response, “The world supports its own.” Not one supporter of Jay-Z (Believer or Non Believer) questions his lifestyle, beliefs or commitment to his wife. They know that the messenger is flawed but they support his message to the tune of 1 million sale and it hasn’t been release to the masses yet.”

He went on to explain that believers need to understand that the message behind the songs that they release which is basically the message of Christ is way bigger than the messenger(Artist).

He pointed out that making the artist bigger than the message itself is automatically silencing the Gospel of Christ musically and shoving the Gospel Industry into life support.

“I believe the world gets what believers still don’t or refuse to understand. #myopinionon That the message is always bigger than the messenger. Believers won’t buy gospel music of some artist because of their presumed flaws and questionable life.

Making them (the artist) bigger than the message of Christ and in doing so silencing this great gospel message musically and slowly but surely putting this industry of gospel music on life support that has the ability to impact the masses.”

He concluded by encouraging believers to support the message of the Gospel, and then he prayed that believers will eventually stop pointing fingers, and realize that to err is human.

He went on to remind us that in the Bible, every single person God used was full of flaws and yet God used them to deliver a message of healing and hope .

“#AgainMyOpinion One day I pray that we all drop our rocks and remember that everyone and I mean everyone that God used in scripture was flawed and or had issues that wasn’t Jesus Christ and that’s why we needed his redemptive work in our lives.

However even with their flaws and all God used them to deliver a message of hope and healing. Support the Message of gospel music and let’s keep it alive.”
