I wish Keji Hamilton’s life story could be made into a movie..what a living legend
God these guys smoking need to hear oooo
I’m anticipating on that
This man has a very good memory. The details he gave in the story were top-notched. I pray that God keep him to the end.
❤
He's sound too
AMEN
If you've never been an addict? You won't even understand what this man is saying... God is honestly good, I've witnessed it first hand ✋🏿
Don't shut your mouth when you have the opportunity to speak about Jesus.... You are planting a seed that will germinate later 🙌
I encountered Keji 13 years ago and my perspective about music selection changed forever. Music is deep and not everything you hear is normal.
Sincerely,it would be alot of ignorance if we still feel music is just singing. Music is spiritual and we need to be discerning enough to know the kind of sounds we listen to.
@@loveoluwakemisola2562absolutely right
My pastor says this always! Music is deep!
@@loveoluwakemisola2562 best comment 👍
Gaise Baba .. you are creating a revolution for the Movement that will deliver nations in the name of Jesus. This testimony hits home
I wouldn't agree any less.
It's a REVOLUTION!
Which nation has ur Jesus delivered?
Jesus nki we must wake 😢
Gbam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is powerful. Gracious God!
"They gave me one week, but its gonna be 30 years next week." Hallelujah 🙌🙌🙌
Honestly I broke out in tongues from IG and I came here.I literally felt the presence of the Holy Spirit ❤ this is wowww thank you Jesus for saving me.I understand about addiction but Jesus stepped in and turned my life around.Thank you Jesus
I broke out in tongues a lot of times while watching this...... lifted my hands a lot of times, see..... i was, and still wowed!!!!!!!!!
I vividly remember Keji at the Pepple Street shrine. I remember how Fela announced his pianist (Keji) was absent because he had been arrested by the police. I am overjoyed to hear of his conversion and deliverance from the powers of darkness. I knew he was bound because those days, he was the only one that openly ate the kolanuts that Fela used to offer to his idols every Saturday when it was the Comprehensive Show. Of course, he ended up adopting Fela's Egyptian practices.
This is the first time I am watching anything on CZcams over 2 hours without skipping ⏭️ any part … thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Instead of me fast forwarding i was busy skipping it backwards
@@israelsho9402 same thing I did
Same here
I have never heard of you or the guest but God directed me here. I will watch this several times to catch every single letter. Please bring him back for part two. I’ve always loved God but faaji and womanizing kept me away from kingdom work. I’m more determined now by God’s grace.
I pray God's grace strengthens you. There is a practical side to this thing too: find a church, be committed and open to discipleship. Company is everything in Christianity. Heb 10:24-26
Be strengthened sir! It’s a beautiful thing to serve Jesus. Join the crew.
🤍🙏
@@paulsegun1029Right.
It's a good time to accept Christ and Lord and Saviour if you haven't already done that.
Do not let faaji and womanizing (as you called them) hold you back.
This is my first time here. I bless God for the life of Sir Keji & Gaise Baba. I'm deeply touched by this. Lives will continue to turn around for good because of this
Can we also just give Gaise Baba applause for how excellent the studio set production and camera angles etc! So proud of your progress and impact on young people! #elijahlevel
This Baba Keji had me shaken. I know Jesus. But to hear real life stories about being saved is something else. Every one has a Journey.
Guy you have to bring Baba Keji back. I believe they're more stories he did not touch on. Like how many people was he able to save from Kalakuta. Was he able to get to Fela to change his mind before he died, did Fela have a one one conversation with him that maybe he never had with anyone else. And does he have any relationship with his children( Fela), now?
You have to bring him back. The Lord said there's evil in this world but actually hear his story of how he was initiated into darkness. I also want to know what became of the society and how was he able to rid them. Having Jesus Christ is one thing, but to have been that involved, the power of darkness do let go that easy especially when you saw what you saw.
YOU HAVE TO BRING HIM BACK PLEASE!!!
Thank you Baba Keji. You are a living testimony of the richness of God's love and mercy. You came to Ogun State University (now Olabisi Onabanjo University) in 1996 at the Freshers nite organized by the Ogun Varsity Christian Fellowship. You shared your testimonies and many people gave their lives to Jesus Christ including cultists. Over the years, you have touched lives beyond what you can imagine. May the Lord reward you. Thanks Gaise Baba for this great work.
Please Like when you come across this, so I can come see again
This episode exposes what satan has counterfeited, but in the beginning it was not so. We as Christians don't know the value of the salvation of our souls. Accept Jesus into your life today to be your lord and saviour. Thank you Jesus for the sacrifice on the cross🙏
Please @gaise Baba can we have a second episode of this Baba keji come around to speak on the need to be truly Discipled in order to be a kingdom influencer? Please 🙏
"If you want to be a Kingdom influencer, you have to first be truly transformed and have conviction about your beliefs, unwilling to bend even at the face of hunger or death" What an episode! Thank you Father for reconnecting me back to my purpose, Amen
Yougerrit
Gbam!!!!!!!!!!!! Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No compromising the Truth.
it's 2AM, I am still hooked to my screen. This is worth my time. This Jesus is still Lord
Yes
GsAb
I am here at 2 am too . God is Good and saying something
I am blessed and touched at the same time
Later they will say music is not spiritual! Thank you so much Gaise baba for this episode. This will bring liberation to many.
And I also pray for preservation for Mr Keji this testimony will not be corrupted in Jesus name!
Baba Keji has excellent memory.
I was saying this the whole time. I can’t remember a lot of things about myself
May Yahweh protect this man. I’m sure some people will come after him for serious exposure
Nobody will come after him, they can only try, I've known this man since 2008 and he's been sharing this testimony and he's here, you can't kill a man who's already dead. If you're in Christ you don't fear death
@@libby_o2491 FACTS ❤
Somebody is narrating a story with facts, locations, streets, names that can ve verified, and someone like this will lie about astral projection??? What's wrong with people sef... The god of this world has really done a number on people Sha... The best thing satan did was to convince the world that he doesn't exist.
God bless you Gaise baba❤❤❤
The greatest trick the devil every pulled was to pretend he doesn't exist - Kayser Sozer - The Usual Suspects
His story is very inspirational. He deserve a biopic, infact the same cast of the movie "Breath of life" would be perfect for the role. Chimezie Imo as Pastor Keji ( he previously acted a movie in which he was an addict), then Ademola Adedoyin and Wale Ojo as young and old Fela Kuti, AShionye as Sandra Izadore, Bimbo Manuel as the police that saved him, Sam Dede as the man that took him to shrine. Abeg someone sould let it happen @gaisebaba
@@stefaniaomo9045 Yessssssssss this whole testimony should be produced into a movieeeeeeeeeeeeee
Don't mind them, Keji has been sharing this for a long time, if it is false, Fela's family would come out to refute it.
I have heard his exact same story long ago too from another person..this one was in a library for days and he thought he was only gone for hours too
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
That is the point that hit me the most on this podcast. Wow!!!!! this is reallllly deeeep!
The scripture hit differently
This is going to be a 1M video. It's still brooding
GB thank you for this podcast. I live currently in Canada. Canada is not so big on religion and since I moved here four years ago I have lost the fire. This podcast with KH has stirred inside me again and I am very grateful. I have watched tonnes of podcast and I must say this ministered directly to my soul. KH indeed is an encyclopedia, I think he should write a book and also make a movie about his story.. that type of Mount Zion kind of movie. I will be willing to be part of the project financially and otherwise. GB I met you only once in my life and that was when you came to RCCG OGUDU to minister under Pst Attah. God bless you immensely. God bless KH also. Is there anyway I can donate to his ministry? I wish I can post a picture here….I have not finished watching the interview and I am just shaking here in my condo in Toronto. God have mercy on me Amen. Jesus Christ is the only way, The truth and The Light.
My heart is so glad to read that this has re-ignited a fire in you sir. Kindle that fire and don’t let it wane! Return to your first Love; I promise He’s been desperately waiting. That’s House of David in Ogudu you referred to, that must be over 10 years ago, all glory to the God that preserves us. You can reach KH via hamiltonkeji123@gmail.com. God bless you!
@@GaiseBaba God bless you for this work you're doing! Honestly!
@@ngoziagu8098AMEN! Thank you.
Canada is a very Christian country. The red in our flag symbolizes the blood of Jesus. If I say Christian country I don't mean the RCCG or other foreign denominations in canada. I mean local Pentecostal assemblies. This is coming from someone who has been in canada for almost 30 years and has been playing gospel music here for that long. Try and attend the "Jesus in the city" carnival this summer in Toronto and feel the power of Christianity in canada. We started this project 25 years ago and never stopped. Canada is a very christian country.
Great, great man. So genuine, so real. One of the uncelebrated heroes of Nigerian Christianity. I pray God gives us real Christianity in our generation too. 😭😭
I saw a snippet of this on Instagram and just rushed here. I'm in awe!!!God is raising generals in various spheres of life and work force. Wow I can relate this to apostle selman teaching on fishers of men.
Undercovers for the gospel!!!.I'm amazed.
Yesss!
The many, many ways to reach the world.
The first intriguing thing about this interview was, and still is, Baba's command of the English grammar.
He speaks fluently, and I'm really impressed by the way he’s able to retell his experiences using the appropriate vocabulary that drives the point home with no hassle.
Schools were truly training students back then.. I see same in my parents, and that’s a great thing. We can get back there 🙏
This is bcos the educational experience was mixed with African values and not much western influence
True
Person wey fit enter UI to stdy Pharmacy no go sabi speak English?? He may not finish Uni but he is not illiterate
It is how informed he is in the word of God and how articulate he is. I love it.
This should be made into a movie, it’ll transform lives. Thank you Gaise❤️
Honestly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree
Here before it makes it to 1m. This testimony will continue to change lives and glorify God by exposing the kingdom of darkness and showing the light of salvation. 🎉
Mind if you lead me to Christ😢❤😢
Be my prayer partner
@@Yaupaulsure
This is a lot to take in. Gaise Baba, thank you for doing this. Baba Keji, you’re a blessing to our generation. Thank you Jesus because these men are kept in your will and by your power. This Generation is for Jesus. Amen 🔥
Yes! A whole lot to take in! Chai!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please bring this man back. There's still a lot of lessons to be learnt from his wealth of experience
Good comment
I no go lie, Black Flame is a godsend! I literally was glued from start to finish. Thanks, Gaise. May God keep baba Keji.
*GOD*send
See ehn, I just finished watching this but as at Saturday, I couldn't keep the parts I had watched to myself........... I called a friend and was giving her the gist..... the nne was already connecting to the story just from my gist o....... before long she said "sis abeg send me the link make I go watch am"! See.......... everyone, Christian and non-Christian needs to watch this video!
That’s the spirit … KEEP SHARINGGGG!!!!
Bring him back please. There's still a whole lot to learn from him.
I am already a fan of Baba Keji believe me...God is just using this piece at this very time to re-establish my determination for the street gospel that He had brought to me for some time now.
Looking at all the facial expressions Baba was giving in this video...I could so relate, I might not have gotten that deep and ranked in the street like Baba did but I was there mehn and only divine grace brought me back..."Divine Encounter with that Inner Voice talking to you" was what could bring me out and I'm so grateful for this piece Gaise Baba "Big Uncle" (like I will always call you) thank you for yielding once again ❤
There are so many of us that I call "Son Of Grace" out there mehn.
This is a whole movie waiting to happen. What a life! There's no depth Jesus cannot bring anyone out of!
I remember reading an article where a music writer said Fela's shows felt like religious worship. It completely makes sense now.
PS
I appreciate the interviewer's respect for history. This is exquisite storytelling!
Wow!
This is so much for me to take in!😢
Life is truly spiritual and JESUS is real! You're either here or there. There's no room for middle ground.
I also learnt that music is spiritual and it's also powerful tool for influence and transformation.
If we seek to change our world as Creatives, we MUST be fully grounded. The Creative space is a war zone!!
God bless Baba Keji and Gaise Baba!!
This is life transforming 😢😢 I wish every young believer, minister and expecially youth all over could watch this.
Baba Keji is exposed, saved and still hard. At some point even GB feel the hardness.
Watched start to finish in a sitting. SOLID EXPOSE
The first time these Man came to.my church see as youth they cry it was an awesome experience
I look forward to every episode. Such a blessing.
The way I used to listen to Fela music! I'm South African, I would order cds especially. I can even feel a conflict in my chest just thinking about not listening to this music anymore! Life is soooo spiritual😮 Thank God for Pastor Kije..... Our God is greater than all.
I know what you mean, my name was changed during deliverance and I had conflict accepting it
Fela's music is a living music. That does not mean Fela lives a perfect life. And how can we prove it was demons that taught him music?. Why is everything good in Africa must be from the devil...who has seen an angel before?
Religious magas
@@akinpelumikayode8387people have seen angels the same way people have seen demons
I have been determined to watch this interview for days now. God is an amazing mastermind. God bless you Gaise Baba. A whole lot.
Wow!!!! Thank you for the great work of harvest. Greater Grace in Jesus name.
Wow. I was glued to my phone throughout. Every youth should watch this episode.
So many demons are going to be so mad because of this podcast...
Fact bro🔥🔥
So true 😢
Exactly
First time i have sat and listened to a podcast.This guy has touched my spirituality
They can be mad as far as they can. This story is not even new. He shared it in a live crusade at Ibadan. Hmmm you needed to be there. I have never seen a quiet crowd as I saw when he was sharing his testimony. The killings, the drug and how he got saved. Truly there's nothing too hard for God to do
Waw this real history o, a movie has to be done about this… it’s a complete package, Trad religion, music, drugs, thug fight and most importantly finding peace and redemption
Wow wow wow
God is good!
What a revelation!!
Gaise baba,thank you for this interview ❤
I started watching and listening to this interview since yesterday till the following day , 😮 what a marvelous God we serve
What a testimony! I could listen 4 2 more hours... so much power!!!🙌🙌🙌
This story is going to be a blockbuster movie
Thought same
I am ready to conwrite or even write the script @gaiseBaba
This is phenomenal, i was glued. This is what a man who has been sold out for christ looks like. Thank you Baba Keji for all you do. Youre a blessing and an inspiration
Thank you God for saving this man. This is the type of a minister I want to become
This podcast felt like it shouldn't end. I even shared before I was done watching.
Thank you, Gaise Baba for hosting Pastor Keji Hamiltion. And God bless him for being consistent through the years.
His life is such a testimony.
And I'm strengthened for this marathon journey of faith
I never wanted this episode to finish. Such a great orator. Please bring him back for part 2
I had to run to CZcams for the full podcast because I'm so interested in this interview.
Never been so glued. Impressive light shinning so bright for the world to see. Mr Keji's impressive memory is applaudable. God is really Great. Like paul, like Keji... God knows his own, even when devil claims them first.
One of the very best interviews I've watched in a long time. God bless you Gaise Baba. Maximum respect to Baba Keji as well; his life is indeed legendary.
This is the best podcast I've ever watched in Nigeria, I've learned so much 🙏🙏🙏
Life is truly deep
Gaise Baba, God bless you for doing this. The eyes of the minds of the nations must be opened
This episode is loaded!! Lots to glean and learn. Thank you!!
Deep Exposé! Loaded with life, history, and parenting lessons!
Thank you so much this. Mot Grace! God bless you
God bless you Gaise baba for these
and Daddy Keji thank you for the opening. We move to the street and get them
Amazing interview ' God bless Daddy Kenji.. I love you sir
This is probably the longest time I have sat to watch a podcast and every minute was worth it! Thanks, @gaisebaba, this is Kingdom
I was so blessed by this interview. God dey redeem!
This episode got me on chokeload!!! I don't think I can recover from different shocks and revelation!! Thank youuuu for balck fame dear Gaise Baba!!
Came here from Pst Irens tweet and finished the video in three seatings amd there's so mucj to tale away. Those Kejis songs are fire btw especially Bambiala.🔥🔥🔥 God bless everyone Amen.
Every single episode is a blessing. God bless you Gaise Baba. Your relevance is preserved sir. I honour you greatly
Thank you, Jesus!
Such a thoroughly enlightening podcast!
This is a great episode..God bless you for bringing in this baba keji
The thought process of this video is amazing, you asked the right question and he was the right guest. I've always seen myself as a historical & music enthusiasm, it's so good to come across a music history encyclopedia, I love this page
This is beyond a testimony. This is a ministration on its own. I'm glad and blessed that I tuned in to watch this episode
Over 2 hours and I never took a break! Thank God for your testimony sir. Fela was definitely a good man, but his story shows that you can be wrong with good intentions. May God help us to find our purpose and stay in it.
This reminds me of Big George Foreman Movie. This is a great story of what the devil meant for evil God meant for good. The prayer at the end was 💯 that most people might not understand. Whatever we go through in life, may we be connected to our purpose. This should be a movie.
This is loaded! More grace to you Gaise baba and to your guest today, more grace be multiplied to you sir. This is really enlightening.
This is the best podcast I’ve ever seen in my whole life. I have never watched any podcast for over 20 minutes before but I finished this one. Please we need more of this❤
Am truly blessed listening to this…
Mind blowing revelation & God bless you more gaise Baba
This was an eye opening and amazing watch!!! The scripture in Corinthians is marked in my heart and mind!!!
This is education indeed. It felt like a class on Kingdom intelligence!!! God bless Gaise Baba, God bless Black Flame, and God bless Baba Keji Hamilton for this.
This conversation was such an eye opener. Thank you for bringing such testimony to light
This is deep, very eye opening. Thank GB for this platform. I know God will continue to bless you and keep you. Also Baba Keji Hamilton, the Lord continue to keep you and bless you for the work you're doing for the Kingdom.
Never have I careful listening to an interview as long as this.
Wow
Too interesting I must say.
Amen and Amen.
Came here from IG, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 what an episode!!!! what a testimony !!! Thank you Gaise baba , thank you Pastor Keji 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Glory be to Jesus in the highest
This is very inspiring and I am so happy that you are save and in Christ Jesus.
I love this interview, 1st interview I watch without skipping.
I have listened to this particular episode twice on Apple podcasts. I had to come here to put a face to the voice. Thank you for this platform. Please invite Baba Keji again so he can talk more about his work and ministry.
This was just mind blowing, I'm literally blown away . God is so good ,God is the greatest..whewww
all i can say is WOW WOW and WOW.....God bless you Gaise Baba for this opportunity
This right here is a must watch for every soul out there who is struggling for a sense of identity and purpose. Thank you for post this. Im your fan from now on and still going to mr. Keji page to subscribe to his content too. Wow!😢
I'm sharing this to all the people in my whatsapp and ask them to share with 10 people if they know they have been blessed with this wonderful testimony too.
Gaise Baba - thank you for this wonderful Episode. I can’t explain what this did to me. I see a lot of thoughts I have about the media being validated. God bless you for sharing with us Uncle Keji.
Wow! This is just a confirmation of everything i have been hearing lately... We Christians have a lot of work to do in being built in righteousness
I love this podcast so much,hearing first hand experience makes sense so much
More grace sir @Pastor Keji, Thanks so much @Gaise Baba for this platform, the LORD keep upholding you in Jesus name
I was so blessed by this interview.
What an episode! Thank God for His salvation.
This is needed for many of us. This histories are needed. I like how it all still points back to the only one who can save. Jesus!
