According to the artist, “This idea was birthed on July 2022, in Jubilee Christain Church International House of Glory, Atlanta. God laid in my heart that I should call out all the celebrants for the month of July and do a beautiful song exclusive for the July celebrants. The song overwhelmed both the celebrants and all the members. August celebrants could not withstand the grace as they also requested that I should do the same for them. Since then, it’s being a norm for the churches.
“Currently, I have written beautiful songs for September, October, and November celebrants, and here is another beautiful song for December celebrants, and it has really gone viral in all social media platforms.

Mama Hope also sends her condolences to the late families and friends of Sammie Opkosu, saying “it was shocking to hear my very good friend has gone. I couldn’t believe the news, I cried uncontrollably, because Sammie is a friend turned brother. I felt very bad. However, God gives and he takes at His own time.
“Sammie in his own little way, has revolutionized the gospel music industry. Sammie was the most hardworking gospel artiste of all times. I pray his gentle soul find rest in the sight of God.”
Mama Hope has a free school in Idah, Kogi State where she is educating 100 children.
