Nigerian gospel artist Tim Godfrey has shared a deeply personal message aimed at individuals who have been judged, misunderstood, or marginalized by society and religious communities.
In an emotional Instagram post, the “Nara” hitmaker opened up about his own experiences of being labeled and misjudged, emphasizing that Jesus never condemned anyone but chose to love, heal, and embrace people for who they truly are.
“I’ve heard the words too — ‘worldly,’ ‘rebellious,’ ‘fake,’ ‘unspiritual.’ I’ve seen the stares, the distance, the disapproval. But here’s what I’ve learned: Jesus never labeled people. He loved them. He sat with the broken, touched the untouchable, and called the forgotten family,” he wrote.
Addressing his open letter to those who have been cast aside by religion, Godfrey reminded his followers that God’s grace is not limited by appearance or past mistakes.
“To the one they called too much. To the one religion judged before hearing your story. To the one who stopped going to gatherings because the whispers were louder than the sermons. This is for you. I know what it feels like to be labeled,” he wrote.
The singer encouraged individuals who have faced rejection for their looks or lifestyle to remember that even Jesus was misunderstood and rejected in His time.
“You may carry tattoos on your skin. You may have gold in your hair or dreads that make them stare. You may have been told you don’t fit the ‘religious image.’ But guess what? Neither did Jesus. He was rejected, misunderstood, and called names — yet He loved louder. He healed harder. He forgave deeper.”
Anchoring his message in Romans 8:38–39 and Titus 3:5, Godfrey affirmed that nothing can separate anyone from God’s love.
“You are seen. You are loved. You are chosen. And no matter what label they’ve put on you, grace still has your name on it. You don’t have to clean up to come to Him. You come to Him, and He does the cleansing through love,” he wrote.
Concluding his post, Tim Godfrey announced that his upcoming project, titled “No Label,” will be released on October 31, 2025. He described it as “more than an album — a sound, a cry, a movement.”
“NO LABEL isn’t just music; it’s a message — a reminder that grace has no dress code. Because Jesus didn’t come for the perfect. He came for the real. And if you’ve ever been pushed away, know this: He’s still reaching for you. Welcome to NO LABEL.”
Through this open letter, the award-winning singer extends a powerful message of healing, inclusion, and acceptance, urging believers to return to the essence of faith — love without conditions.
