Sinach shares about the inspiration behind the song: “At that time the Lord was taking me through processes, taking me through another level of ministry and I wasn’t quick to catch up. I was reluctant because I was comfortable where I was.
The Lord said, “No, it’s time to go.”I was wasting time and the Lord pulled the rug from under me. He was telling me that he is the way maker, that he has already made a way for me where I was headed.
And he is a promise keeper, he is able to do this.”Hot stories

Thank you to my mentor and life coach Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and my Loveworld family, you saw it before anyone saw it.
