AFRI-TUNES WEEK 39_''Amokoko'' by Tope Akinpelu (cover) @imaculate50

Greetings to everyone, I welcome you all to Afri-tunes week 39, where we appreciate African musicians.

This week I decided to sing a song titled ''amokoko" by Tope Akinpelu. "Amokoko" is a yoruba word meaning "potter" in english.

This songs acknowledge God as the potter and maker of our life.

We are clay in the hands of the creator, before creation He already knows who we are and what we are to become. God is our life's potter, only Him can decide what we are to be.

No matter what situation we might be, it's what God has already destined for us.

This song is also a song of prayer and plead to God, the Potter who changes destiny.

A potter can decide to change His mould or adjust it,if there's a lack in it, so is God capable of changing our life's,we can pray to Him to change our life's to best and He's ready to hear our prayers if we obey Him.
