Gospel Rapper ,Pompi defends performing in night clubs

Share

pompi

Popular gospel rapper Pompi ,who’s album “MIZU” has been greatly received by his fans all over zambia , took to his facebook page to defend himself and his lota house label mates recent performances at some night clubs.

He had this to say

“We will continue ministering to the lost. There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion. We at Lotahouse value people so much so that we will not discriminate on who is and who is not worthy of the Gospel. Those who want to keep the Gospel within the four walls of the church sorry but we have to leave the 99 in search of the one lost sheep as commanded by our Savour Jesus Christ. Enjoy the luxury of freely given Green pastures, We will be delivering this very important good news of grace to that one. The truth needs no defending so we will simply reply by sending you progress reports.”

    • WHY CANT HE GO IN VILLAGES WHERE THEIR ARE RADIOS, TVS ETC. PEOPLE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF THE GOSPEL IN SUCH PLACES. MOST NIGHT CLUB PATRONS ARE CHURCH GOERS AND LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC EVERY DAY. EVEN THOSE PROSTITUTES GO TO CHURCH. DISPLACEMENT ZERO

    • Virn, u have a big point, the chap is making money n performing in nite clubs, a child of God shud not take advantage of sin n start making money pretending that you are preaching the gospel.

  1. It is not my position to judge you but i don`t think you are a true believer mate.You shall know them by their fruits the bible says.I don`t see that in the way you walk,talk,sing and dress.Hey maybe i`m a bit old fashioned or something.Will see when that day comes.We are all just clay in the hands of the potter at the end of the day.Keep your head up.

    • THOU SHALT NOT JUDGE COS GOD CAN USE ANY ONE REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY APPEAR AND DRESS. MAY BE THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS TO PRAY FOR HIM. GOD USES THE FOOLISH THINGS OF THIS WORLD TO CONFOUND THE WISE, THE THINGS WHICH ARE ARE BASELESS AND LOW TO CONFOUND THE THINGS WHICH ARE HIGH AND EXALT THEMSELVES, THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT TO COFOUND THE THINGS WHICH ARE. WHEN JUDGE THE SAME JUDGEMENT SHALL BE MATE AT YOU. READ YOUR BIBLE

  2. Pliz leave my pompi alone if u hv got nothing gud to talk about him then keep quite.
    As for me and my family we support you and we got the message, GOD will bless you for what u r doing pompi BIGUP!!

  3. I’ll support you if only at the end of your performance you lead people to christ but if they just get entertained by your music,then think twice guys.

  4. Come on Pompi, you are not fooling anyone here. A night club is full of people who are drunk and everyone knows what beer does to the brain. Who can make sense out of the message in a gospel song when most people in a night club are usually so pissed up that they even have difficulties in handling the call of nature and getting to their homes? You are right the gospel message should not be restricted to the four walls of the church but the night clubs can never be a better option either.

  5. dude you so wrong cant believe you even defending yourself. if you cant perform in churches so u want believers to be entering clubs just to hear your music # damn

    • So how will the lost sheep hear the gospel if you dont go to them? Did jesus just preach in the temple only or he went out to the ‘sinners’ to preach to them? Dont be a mr know it all when it comes to God, only he knows who is in his favor and whose not. You pentes need to stop this thing of thinking only you and your gold digging pastors know God.

    • WHEN CHRIST ENTERED THE TEMPLE IT WAS TO CHASE THOSE EVIL DOERS.
      IF SINNERS ARE EVEN LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU IN THE NIGHT CLUB IN THEIR DRUNKEN STATES WITH PROSTITUES ENJOYING YOUR “GOSPEL MUSIC” THEN THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR GOSPEL.

  6. Just say the truth. The hunt for money takes you to the Night Clubs. Now you know why we all go there. If you want to minister to the lost you dont go there on the entertainment platform, go there with your bible.

    • I agree with you Nemubiza. he should try going with a bible and not be a curtain raiser for circular artists. After listening to your so called ‘Gospel Music’, we remained drinking with other circular artists ba Pompi.

    • Very true my bro. This guy must not hide in the name of gospel when what he is doing is not gospel preaching. Why cant he organize gospel rallies so you preach and sing to the lost souls. How can a person who is drunk get the gospel?

      I am just wondering where we are going as Christians.

  7. pipo should live pompi alone like for real.God is the judge nt you..kip doing your thing bro and escalate higher as they remain talking….
    nzelu nimu package

  8. Awe kwena!
    Humility is the basis of a calling into ministry from God. We want to see that in yo life pompi.
    God will surely reward yo wrk.

  9. 99.999% OF ZAMBIAN MUSICIANS DIED FROM PERFOMING IN NITECLUBS, DISCOS, TAVERNS, BARS ETC. BE CAREFUL OF THE TEMPTATIONS FROM TOWING SOLOLAS, MA-TALIBANS, IFIWA, ETC.

  10. It iz not strange nowadayz to see some church choirz and/or so called gospel singerz fighting so hard to releaze their 9th album which should surpass the salez of the previous onez.
    So their motive iz not so different from late Bob Marley & Franco Luambo Makiadi, Papa Mukulukulu Koffi Mopao Olomide, Paul Dobson Nyirongo Ngozi, PK Chishala, Alick Nkhata, Emmanuel Mulemena just to mention but a few.

  11. success takes u to a place character cant not sustain u-Dave Chapelle…i agree with the intentions but the means he going on about it,i question..ur music maybe gospel,ur performance maybe gospel but if u dont say anything or do anything that confronts sin dead in the face,ie telling that young girl to leave that man old enaf to be the father alone or discouraging the latter,u r just going to make money which u later tithe,a concious is a dangerous thing to ignore

  12. this guy comes from a rich family put ur assertions abt it been for the money aside,assumption is the mother of all f**k ups,get ur facts right

    • What is being from a rich family gat to do with anything ? He has his own future to take care of.The guy is just trying to use christianity to rip off the masses(drunkards in clubs).

  13. personaly i think pompi, is right! defeat the enemy in their home ground. keep it up bro! dont mind about the critics, they criticise anything including anything they do themseves. Let no man judge you, you never know you can even be better than some pastors.

  14. NKANI YA KOBILI AS MUNKOMBWE WOULD AGREE.
    YOU START WITH SAVING PEOPLE BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD.
    MY FRIEND WAS TELLING ME THAT HE HAD NO PROBLEMS GOING TO CHURCH WITH A HANGOVER COZ HE WOULD FIND RUMBHA PROVIDED FREE TO CONTINUE WITH HIS WEEKEND.

  15. He will reap what he is sowing. Night clubs are the devil’s churches. This young boy is playing with Lucifer! Not even Pope francis is strong enough to resist sins found in Nite clubs. This boy wants to ruin his life for few pieces of silver.

  16. well just make sure u heard God pompi 2 step out into nightclubs otherwise instead of you ministering to them ,they will minister to you.

  17. Hahahahaha….why are people joking like this these day??I dont even know this BOY but i can still say he is just playing and not serious with what he is saying.
    If i may ask,what his dressing like,what is his behaviour,how does he relate with others in society etc ? These are simple things that can easily be seen from a person who is claiming to be a christian.
    What can that boy do to change me?He has NO qualities to change people to be better citizens.
    he is just looking for money in night clubs and hiding in gospel…….FOOLISH!!

  18. Can he tell us what message he takes to the lost in night clubs? If he goes to sing, Im afraid to say that he is not being effective especially with the type of music he sings. Its more on the entertainment side rather preaching the gospel.

  19. This story takes me back in memory lines.I remember dancing to a live gospel track called Ukulolela by Matthew Ngosa at broadway cinema hall in Ndola during the Mukuba awards.It was quite something going on the stage to dance to the song with a castle or Mosi lager bottle in one hand while the other hand was up in praise.Pipo were drunk during the performance but it was a good experience.

  20. I love the pompi albulm it’s great but the issue I have is,are these shows held in night clubs free?If they are why not look for a neutral venue for all to attend.If there is a charge to pay then you are restricting it to only those people above 18yrs.Really it’s up to one’s faith because everything now is business.Pompi don’t stop admistering your music.

  21. Thou shall know them by there deeds. Many will come speaking in my name , but be wary I have sent them not.

    May Jehova God bless us all…amen.

  22. If someone is on the stage and the other is on the floor, and they are pullying each other (and one has to win): tell me who the winner is going to be (the one pulling up or the one pulling down???)

    Let’s wait and see how many Pompi will pull up stage.

    There are still so many lost souls outide the bars. Who agrees with me? Let’s win all those outside before we can start going inside, tefyo?
    Awekwena……..

  23. Preaching 2 drunks with songs?most of those patrons don’t even know how they got home, can they honestly remeber the gospel from the night club? Matthew 24:23-36.

  24. its good to take the gospel to the lost wherever the lord leads you,but how much did the lost pay you to preach to them ? do the lost pay a preach to preach to them for salvation? Jesus Christ went to the zacheus ,Simon tanner and the pharisees homes yet he rebuked them from there own homes in many instances and ways. what rebuke or message did u take there and how man were saved? in john chapter 3 we have Nicodemus telling Jesus that the Pharisees knew that he was a teacher of the law and He was from God because of the signs he was performing. tell us how the lost in your group responded.He who walks with wise becomes day by day and bad company corrupts morals? what kind of friends do you have to prove to us that u really are going for the lost? how many have u brought to the lord?

  25. I love pompis’ confession, but this takes two sides of the coin. I love pipoz opinions aswel. Ministry is diverse just as God is. I cant be too quick to judge. How many pipo have given their lives to Christ since you started this ministry, or do you have visible fruits to show? How is the arrangement for these night club concerts? do pipo pay for entrance? are you paid later on/? who do you go with? How much time do you spend there? What is your prayer life bros? Who is your spiritual cover?
    I think these are very key questions that deserve answers. otherwise reaching out to the lost is the passion of GOD that needs support by evry mature Christian. Bless u all for your comments, but dont take offense, critics model us if we take them positively!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Jesus loved everyone sinners and nonsinners, the gospel is also for the lost, judge not and you shall not be judged.

  27. Pompi should not use the word of God to make money. What souls was he winning when he just went there to make money? People should be serious with the word of God and not use it in vain. Night clubs are parked with a lot of prostitutes who are almost walking naked, but what assurance is there that he will not be tempted by these vultures. How strong is he to withstand pressure from these? Because after performing, a lot of them went there to greet him and even ask for beer. Did he say no to these greetings and to buying of beer?

  28. I am no believer, but I can say that according to the good book, even Jesus spent time with lost souls and tax collectors. He did not come for those already saved. Pompi is doing nothing wrong. If he is a hypocrite by another measure, that I dont know, but for a gospel singer to perform in nightclubs, nothing wrong with that. That is where the sinners are, who most badly need the word.

    • Christ spent time with them (those percieved to be sinners) in the right place not following them in bars/brothels. Christ followed them to there houses and some actually followed Him. As much as we want to preach the gospel let us be carefull and mindful of the place we are doing it from. The Bible says resist the devil and he wil flee-You resist the devil by avoiding his suggestions, his dwelling, his presence. A child of God who goes to night clubs is vulnerable coz is in the tent of the wicked.

  29. I would rather be a door keep in the house of the Lord than dwell in the tent of the wicked. Night Clubs are tents of the wicked. Going to perform in the tent of the wicked filled up with all kinds of demonic forces is like going into the Lions den deliberately expecting the Lord to Serve u. Very Soon will hear you have backsliden brother man. You dont resist the devil by following him in his domain. Joseph had to run away from temptation but it like you choose to run to temptation. Blessed is a Man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers Ps 1vs1. Let him who has an eye hear the voice of God! Amen

    • Dear Mr Police State, do not limit the gospel and the workings of the holy spirit to your own opinions and tastes. Jesus also went to places where they drank, and when they ran out of booze he turned water to wine. This did not make him a drunkard or an immoral man, but someone who people felt they could relate with and as such they could listen to his message, rather than if he had been snobbish. What the heck. I am not even a christian. Why should I crack my head trying to help you push your religion forward if this is your attitude? Fortunately, I know many other more open-minded chrisians. Try not to limit your brother on his mission by being petty.

    • Umwina Zed, going by your language and attitude I can see you are a fundamentalist, and loaded with anger and probably hate which you are ready to discharge at anyone who disagrees with you. I did not say he went to bars. I said he went to parties, but knowing Jesus, he would have had no problems going into a bar. He was above that sort of pettiness. He saved a prostitute where fundamentalists like you would have stoned her to death. This does not mean he was compromised. It only means that he accepted people below him, so who are you? His critics accused him of hanging out with thieves. Jesus was way above this shallow reasoning. No wonder I dont follow christians, but I do follow Jesus.

  30. where are sinners mostly found?in nightclubs,at football matches etc.so why should he perform in a church where most people are supposedly already saved.i give POMPI a thumbs up for performing at night clubs.most of you so called christians are busy judging others and discriminate even against each other.am really ashamed to be called a christian nowadays.Please Pompi continue with your work and the LORD shal reward you for your work.as for christians who hate each other,watchtower hate SDA,Catholics hate Pentecostals etc……you can all go TO HELL WHERE YOU BELONG.

  31. Don’t compare your self to Jesus twapapata. Whenever Jesus was mixing with sinners it was to preach to them not entertain them and the results were showing. How many people did you deliver. Nervers Mumba had started going to night clubs some time back in the name of searching for sinners you should ask him how many he saved from there

  32. Pompi has a point but I find it interesting to note that the youngman has discovered a formula to bringing the lost to the Lord. May I know who is interceeding for him. Who is his counselor or his pastor.How many has he so far led to the Lord. What really happens when he is ministering in the night club.How is he impacting the young ones and how many night clubs are begining to reform or turned into churches.Light and darkness cannot mix because light will brings lumination and darkness has to give way.If indeed it is God Jehova who has called him to this I can guarrantee you readers,this ministry will be there even after 10 years!So let us not argue and judge what this young is doing.There is time for everything

  33. The Lord left us with a comforter. Who is the Holy Spirit. Now, the holy Spirit keeps us from all desires of the sinful nature.
    For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit & vise-versa.
    The Bible talks about drunkenness, which usually takes place in bars in our present time. Meaning, even that time, there were places where drunkards were found. But our Lord Jesus Christ never! entered those places to preach salvation.
    Preaching of the word needs a calm environment, not where there’s comfusion.
    Light & darkness can never mix. That’s why there’s night & day.
    Flee from earthly pleasures. In the time of Sodom & Gomorrah, God our Father destroyed these places thru His Angels. But spared Lot & his family who were righteous in His eyes.
    The Bible also says , ‘the…

  34. This is what l want to say to you Pompi,l won’t judge you or condom you . lf this is what the Lord has told you to do then praise the lord and do it with all your heart. After performing or singing to the lost in bars do you lead them to the lord or it’s just a matter of singing gospel to the lost.Singing gospel is not just a matter of singing but your life has to portray Christ in you.What songs do you sing ,is it to edify yourself ,is it circular,or to edify Christ or is it praise and worship songs not just songs which mentions Christ or dance songs which have meaning . Remember a gospel artist is a minister of the lord just like pastors e.g .lf you want to be an effective gospel artist,you need to pray and fast.You need to be filled in the spirit.Psalms 92;10.You need fresh oil…

  35. God has something 4 this kid,everywhere I go pipo are talking about this boy,ati this that,his good,his bad,his not gospel,his a trending topic i guess,not even the jks and danny get this kinda buzz. what do any of u know? Jesus affiliated with drunkard,prostitutes and the demon possessed,only time will tell if pompi is truly doing something right,frankly If pompi will get atleast 1 person out of the bars his performing then I don’t see anything wrong with that.keep doing wat u re doing young man,when pipo hate,know u are doing something right

  36. Judge not and you shall not be judged. God knows the intentions of mens hearts so if you dont know what was in his heart then better jes “lolesha fye”

  37. I love the Bible because it the only book you can interpret in any form and claim to be inspired and ask the people who question you to say do not judge me. Telling you that this is wrong its not judging. People what i have come to understand is that there is no one who will question the right thing, if people question what you are doing know that there are emements of wrong in it.
    POMPI when you perform in night clubs how do you feel about it. If its not wrong how come you a clarifying it on you page because i believe what is right can not be corrected because it is right…GOD BLESS YOU

    • The same bible say Jesus will come in form of a Thief, i wonder why it didnt say he will come in a church dressed in all white. Someone has to take the initiative. Staying in your clossed churches wont help the masses. I believe if Pompi manages to even convience one soul from the night clubs thats a huge achievement in this day and era. So let the brother do what he gata do and stop putting a measure to how the word has to be delivered. The main aim here is to “Deliver” and bring souls to the Pulpit.

  38. I agree with Pompi, but someof you Zambians are are two faced and judgemental. Most of you preach about Christ but you have never fully grasped what Christ was about. Jesus didnot discriminate, he embraced all sinners so why can’t Pompi do the same?

  39. Problem yapa Lusaka times bonse ama bloggers bali joba sana, everyone thinks is very intelligent here. Apapene some bloggers want Pompi to produce a breakdown on how many Souls he has led to Jesus, next they will ask him to produce financial data on how much it has cost him and what ramification it has towards inflation blah blah blah….. The Point here is that as educated as most of you here may claim you actually luck creativity thats why Christianity is struggling world over in terms of membership. Pompi has used his sixth sense the sense of creativity, go out there and do your thing. Next time the clubbers hear that Pompi is performing at Church they will definitely follow and eventually stay there. These old method of a Pastor telling us kalulu stories are failing the work of God

  40. Light and darkness? How can two walk together unless they agree or are equally yolked? He does that in the company of other secular musicians te?? Some churches have made worshiping God a light thing, His standards are high bothers and sisters… Anyway…

  41. I feel sorry for Pompi,you’re not preaching,you’re simply entertaining them,you need help,simply justifying a reason to be in a club.I have a strong warning.Never use our Lord’s name carelessly,research the origin of rap,you will be shocked,poor boy entering places angels fear,ask yourself if Jesus will rap in a night club the answer is obvious you’re a follower of Jesus act immediately!!

  42. Pa Zed! Yaba! Now we even have ‘gospel of the belly’ ka! Go make the money boyi! Otherwise, wilabepa ati abanthu will respond to the gospel mu club.

  43. my opinion!! pompi is doing great by spreading God`s words to all places…be it night clubs,stadiums,stations etc.

    but if his intentions are honest ,,,at night clubs he should donate what ever money he`s made to the need/good cause or do it for free.

  44. this lunatic boy who wants to sleep with as many prostitutes as he wants should never use the name of the Lord in vain. Why a nite club of all places. He has already backsliden by now coz those brown bleached thighs in nite clubs ve not spared him with all sorts of temptations. those agreeing with his demonic antics in bars ve a filth spirit.

  45. In all honesty ministering in night clubs is wrong. Thats the problem with Pentocstals your christianity trends with the world, just to SDA. We dont dance, play demonic drums, put on mini skirts not talking of trousers for women. No wonder mashabe too much ati chasing demons, you are devil’s playground.

  46. If he wants to preach the gospel he can have free open air concerts at markets, malls, go to schools, etc. Going inside a nightclub to perform shows that the guy is after money or fame.

  47. Pipo r lost n they need th word of GOD,if GOD has called pompi to minister thru music in niteclubs,bars, churches etc let him Be,he is not doing it for any one but for th kingdom of God.he knws hw it is or feels to be without christ,he has been there n he does not want a single soul to perish…Y do u judge?he is not leadn pipo astray bt bringing them to th father(lord jesus christ who knws our hearts)

  48. honestly pipo enough of the condemnation coz in christ theres redemption and in redemption theres no condemnation haters!
