adminrecorded at Knockout Studios this year.
As I listened to the music on this CD over the weekend, I was convinced that this album was a true masterpiece and very inspirational judging by the quality of music and its rich scriptural meaning.
All the seven tracks carried on the album point to God as the creator who is solely responsible for our survival and existence.
The music is unique because it portrays practical Christianity values, revealing how men alone cannot live a complete life and be safe without Christ.
The first song, “Revelation” — which is also the title track of the album — highlights possibly the main theme of this CD in which Elvis makes a personal prayer to God asking for the gift of Revelation.
In this track Elvis explains how Christians faced numerous challenges such as disobedience, deception and sin which impeded them in their Christian walk.
This track underlines how important the gift of revelation is since it gives direction to their lives and makes it possible for them to live a disciplined and Christ-centred life.
The second track, titled “I Want to Worship You”, opens with Elvis pouring out his heart to God, thanking him for transforming his life of sin into a life of Godliness through Jesus Christ.
In this song, Elvis briefly narrates how his life lacked meaning and purpose until Christ extended his love to him by dying on the cross to save his life.
The song, “Modern Day Pharisee” — which occupies the third position on this album — highlights certain behaviours among some Christians and members of the clergy in different churches who enjoyed theological titles but failed to live their lives according to the word of God.
According to the message in this track, such people who are also referred to as hypocrites in the New Testament, loved personal recognition in church, behaviour which contradicted the Word of God.
“Repent and change your ways to please God. You can fool men but not God,” reads part of the lyrics on this track.
The song “Afflictions”, which is number four on the album, bemoans different problems that Christians face in this world.
According to Elvis, such problems which include disease, physical disabilities and death should not be interpreted as a curse of life but instead exist in people’s lives to reveal God’s power when he delivers them.
Drawing lessons from Job, who endured pain and suffering after losing everything including his family but was later saved when God restored his possessions, Elvis says there was hope for Christians who held on to God despite facing problems.
The fifth song, “Why do the Wicked?”, poses a question to the listener in which Elvis asks why wickedness persisted despite God calling people to his salvation.
In this song social ills such as corruption, prostitution, adultery, fornication and many other sins are described as having polluted this world which now resembles the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah that was destroyed by fire from heaven to wipe away sin.
The sixth song, “Be Sober”, continues from the track “Why do the Wicked?” in which Elvis urges Christians to be more vigilant as Satan, who caused people to sin, was now using technology to deceive people into rebelling against God.
The last song titled ‘The Joy of the Lord” ties together all the issues raised in this album where Elvis is saying that despite all the wickedness in this world the joy of
the Lord gave him strength.
