We
greet you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. First
and foremost we will like to thank all our families, loved ones, friends
and fans for being there for us all these years. Your prayers, words of
encouragement, well wishes, and support in different dimensions have
helped us grow to who and what we are today. God brought you into our
lives for many reasons and what He has used you to do in our lives has
formed some of the reasons why we are still standing today. Sometimes,
just cheering us in the background gave us strength to keep moving when
the going got really tough and when it seemed the smart way to go is
give up and move on. We do not take any of these lightly and we give God
all the glory for bringing you all into our lives. Once again, we say
we are grateful.
As we approach our 12th year as an
entity that has enjoyed a lot of ground breaking experiences by the
grace of our faithful and true God, we sense a shift, we sense the
completion of a phase and the beginning of a new phase, we sense a
breaking out, we sense a release, a regrouping to expand the kingdom of
God through music……and it is no coincidence that 12 is a number of
completion, governmental perfection, organization, divine government or
rule. ..We may not have fully grasped the dimensions God wants to take
us through in this new phase but we choose to trust Him who has the
total picture and who is able to complete what He has started and take
us to a glorious end. Having been there for us all these years, we feel
we owe it to you to explain the new dimension we sense God is taking us
to and through in this season of our lives and ministries.
We
realized and recognized from the start that every individual that came
to form the entity we all know today as Midnight Crew had personal
divine calls/assignments but at the time, we all sensed God telling us
to lay it all aside for a corporate assignment. It was a sacrifice we
had to make so that God would do what He chose to do with and through
Midnight Crew. We do not regret a single day of making that choice, we
are glad and most grateful to God for all He has done and for all He is
still doing for us, and for every life that has been touched and is
still being touched by the ministry of Midnight Crew.
Consequently, we feel more deeply than
ever before that it is time for individuals to live out our personal
divine calls and assignments. We know that asides fulfilling the
corporate vision which we have been doing for the past 12 years, and
which we intend to continue doing, God will also hold us accountable for
specific individual assignments or instructions He has given us. Hence
we choose to be responsible to and for each other and ensure that as
individuals, we will live out every dream God placed in us, die empty
and not be found wanting on the day of reckoning.
In this new phase, you will find
individuals expressing themselves in new dimensions. We have released
the 4 proprietors, namely Patricia King, Odunayo Ojo Onasanya, Mike
Abdul and Olugbenga Oyebola to live out our pre-existing individual
dreams and find expression as God will lead us using the entity Midnight
Crew and its milestones/achievements as our Launchpad to the next level
of ministry. You will find individuals recording singles and albums;
embarking on some various people-oriented ministry projects as God has
laid it in our minds and as a way of giving back to our community. These
we already started in our various capacities and we are trusting God to
reveal His will and unfold His plans the more as we all move by faith
to fulfill our personal assignments.
We
are excited to let you know that Mike and Pat have been working on
their first personal album projects. These will soon be released and you
will be the first to know as soon as the albums are out. Gbenga has
started a mass choir project which will provide a platform for men and
women blessed with musical and singing abilities to find expression and
channel their gifting to glorify the Most High God. Odunayo is cooking
up a new dimension in the ministry of praise and worship that will take
the world by surprise.
We are not strange men who are not touched by the same infirmities (or challenges) every human face in different phases of our
lives, businesses, marriages, or divine calls/assignments, so we
continually strive for perfection, having the assurance that in all
these things, we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus that
loved us, and we are fully convinced that in the end we will win.
Finally, we will like to make it clear
that who we are and what we are today is because of what God has done
for us and through us in Midnight Crew. We therefore do not intend to
walk away from the vision of Midnight Crew as we are convinced that it
has not quite fulfilled the fullness of its purpose and while we give
individuals more room, we are keeping the corporate vision of Midnight
Crew alive and running for as long as God will allow us. All we ask our
friends, families, fans and loved ones is to pray along with us as the
individuals attempt to find expression in this new but inevitable phase
of our lives and destinies. We covet your prayers and we also pray for
you that as you petition the Lord our God on our behalf, you also will
find answers to all your heart desires in Jesus’ name. Amen.
