What a Beautiful Man with an amazing talent and a voice of an Angel. Losing my only son , Joel at 30 years old; (almost 16 years ago ) my life has been full of depression and grief ~ your music has inspired me beyond belief. Thank you Blessed Offor !! What a shinning Soul you have. God Bless your Life my friend. I love you.

[@biancahotca3244]

What happened to your son? Sorry for your loss. My brother in law died suddenly from a massive heart attack 5 years ago. He was a good Christian, father of 5 young children, not overweight but he wasn’t feeling well one night. He had the signs of an on coming heart attack and my sister suggested he go to the emergency, but he told her to just put the kids to sleep. He was only 48. But she puts her faith in Jesus every day and He’s a good father. They are doing well now.

[@nataliewilliams6592]

So sorry for your sad loss Lisa 💔

[@DevonteHenry-qp4yj]

Tears of joy

[@jackdeberry9461]

God Bless! Praying for you and your family!

[@kmsy200]

I’m so sorry to hear that . But you can believe and trust one day you will see him in presence of Lord . God bless you and I pray for your comfort as kids always are part of our life . My son is far from Lord I am always praying crying to Lord to save him and his life . I know our Lord is faithful and he will give us strength to go on and walk with Lord . I am not who I am right now . If he changed me I can trust him he can change him too . God bless you my dear ❤

[@j.h.5765]

I'm legally blind since 2019 so I really appreciate this guys testimony and encouragement. Stay faithful brother Offer and keep following the good Lord 🙌🏼♥️

[@jackdeberry9461]

God Bless! Praying for you and your family!

[@bike4jesus]

Sight to the blind doesn't necessarily mean literal sight. Accepting TRUTH is considered having sight. Not everyone can see TRUTH. It's something you have to be able to comprehend.

[@jackdeberry9461]

God Bless! Have a great week and may you always grow in your relationship with God, The Holy Spirit, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Praying for you and your family!

[@oleradiodudea.m.4735]

I love that he has a desire to hang with Non-Christians. We so often get accused of being exclusive to the detriment of Christ's declaration in the great commission.

[@nmocte1]

Don’t be the storm. Be the mountain.

[@julierobinson5180]

God has been hitting me over the head with the message of “joy is a choice.” I am in chronic pain,and since I know that God hates complaining, ( and most people do too), I am really working hard at choosing joy. You are a wonderful example of that! Thanks for your music ministry!!❤️❤️❤️

[@injesusnamewepray46]

I'm right here with you Julie. I suffer from chronic back, hip, leg and knee pain so I completely understand. When I sing along with Blessing, I don't feel it for a brief moment-as long as I'm sitting down! It's enough. HalleluYah it's enough. Praise God for this man and his ministry!

[@jackdeberry9461]

God Bless! Have a great week and may you always grow in your relationship with God, The Holy Spirit, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Praying for you and your family!

[@tunbosunayodele8174]

You are right. When you question God on issues that touch you, he is always ready to give you answer that will comfort you, and give you absolute peace.

[@7heavencatholictalkseries]

Blessing Offor you are INDEED a blessing!

[@accroni]

Blessing is one of the kindest, most humble, incredibly talented individuals I have ever known! Met him while he was a 7th grader at Hamden Middle School in Hamden, CT and have followed his musical growth throughout the years. Couldn't be prouder of the young man and musician he has become and not surprised at the recognition he is finally receiving. He deserves all of it and some! CONGRATULATIONS BLESSING!!! #HPSAlumini #WhatTalentLooksLike #TGBTG

[@jackdeberry9461]

[@41yearoldnewdriver]

I like the song that plays on the radio Blessing did with Tobymac Your the goodness in my life. The first time I heard the song on the radio I really liked it. That was a hit in my opinion!

[@debbiebrinkley327]

I’ve listened to his song Believe ,on K-LOVE. I googled the song and played it countless times throughout the day. What I didn’t know was he is blind. Such a sweet spirit.

[@tyusreginald6646]

Blessing Offor! You're my Hero! Sent from God!

[@tylerheulett4070]

[@lisaferrantelli9952]

Wow, you are the real deal. I heard you with Tobymac (he rocks). Love your honesty. Love your realistic thinking and raw perspective. I never want to be so religious, that I can't relate to non Christians. Keep Being you!!

[@hepzibaiswarya8312]

I am falling in love with the way, he says "You know what I mean"

[@jetaglais3777]

God is good all the time!! All the time, God is Good!! Amen!! Thanks for the wonderful interview, I regocnize the story in our Faith. We had many storms in our lives, our daughter died with 42 weaks pregnancy, my husband survived pancreatic cancer with metastases to the liver and also our son who was 4 years old at the time (autism) became violently ill and deteriorated.... I really thought I would be left alone from the family I love so much. We had to get rid of our animals, including our son's "help" dog, the dog felt my husband's illness and became just as sick as our son. There was no one to help us with the animals with the care. My strength in the legs and back sank at the realization that I could lose them all and I plopped down against the wall of our living room with grief.... It was Yeshua who came and sat with me and I felt His arms around me with His Tallit, His warmth around me and I felt the strength come back into my body. Yet, just a moment if... that I had "lost" my family, I still steadfastly believed in the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I love the Lord immensely! Similarly, in our personal lives, we have gone through many storms. We keep saying, God is Good!!! And God is always there, even though sometimes you feel like he isn't, God really hasn't left you! We lost many friends through all the storms, they stopped coming and could not cope with our situations. Yeshua was there though, how we always felt His presence, His comfort and love for us in intense times.

[@bihtazuh6601]

Thank you. My situation is no where as bad as yours but my storms have made me stop for over a year. Only God. Thank you. God bless you

[@christiankunnecke7483]

This interview is everything I needed today. God gives us what we need. Irma's bf is a very close, close friend. Thanks to her for knowing who you are. She taught me how beautiful you are. And she is right

[@lulielawry]

[@jeanhowarth1852]

This is a wonderful interview. ❤ God bless him & you all.

[@NellieKAdaba]

[@volvobilbe]

I love the song he sings with Toby Mac... The Goodness. In 2019, TM lost his 21 year old son. Too many people know that pain: nearly insurmountable. Toby Mac had to draw back a short time, but came back with Blessing Offor to create a song of happiness. The Goodness is a Testament to the goodness of God that threads through all situations.

[@evelynigwe5736]

Thank you Blessing, you write for humans for sure ❤️❤️❤️

I never saw this artist before but heard the song “Believe “on my local Christian Radio Station, 88.3. I am so very “Grateful” for Offer. I too was raised in CT and did some training in CT. I was called while in Nashville and I await my voice to be heard. Hallelujah!

I am glad this interview came into my feed. Just recently, I’ve been listening to Blessing’s music and every song I have heard strikes a chord in the core of my being. It is a blessing!

Great interview!! Blessing! ❤❤❤Thank you! JOY FM

[@justlisten2me]

God never promised us that life on earth would be nothing but sunshine and butterflies, but He did promise to never leave us if we never leave Him. He wants us to talk, sing, express our feelings whatever they may be, cry, ask, whatever we are feeling or need comfort, conviction, and love…to and from Him. He is and should be our number One to go to. Trusting Him totally is the best way to have peace and joy in life no matter what you have faced or are facing. Trust in the Lord with all your heart ❤️ Proverbs 3:5

[@nanceepatterson7803]

[@samanthafrancis8159]

Awesome testimony! We have such an AWESOME God! He’s with us through every battle. God helps us to use our battles as testimonies of Faith an not giving up. I was born with Congenital Hydrocephalus (aka) water on the brain. I could’ve been born blind, deaf, mentally disabled, physically disabled or even not alive. In 2003 after 10 surgeries in 2 months. I lost my peripheral vision and short term memory. Of the things I went through I lived to talk about it. There are brighter days ahead in every storm we face in this life. Don’t ever give up! Don’t ever give in, except into Jesus!

Brighter days is MY song. Life is kinda hard for me, I'm elderly, handicapped, & like everybody else, trying to make ends meet. When life gets me down, I turn to brighter days. It reminds me that I'm not alone, & brighter days are coming. I LOVE this man! I haven't heard anything yet, that I DIDNT like. God bless you, brother. 💚
