It’s not a sin to drink, says born-again Lynxx
Born – again singer and rapper , Chukie Edozien , aka Lynxx , says it is not a sin to take alcoholic drinks .The rapper had reportedly been seen smoking at social functions but he had never addressed the issue .
While refusing to comment on reports of him smoking , he told Sunday Scoop , “ It is not a sin to drink ( alcohol ) . What was Jesus ’ first miracle in the Bible ? He turned water to wine . I still hang out with my old friends in the entertainment industry. ”
He argued that despite being a born -again Christian , he wasn ’ t doing gospel music . He said, “ I am born -again , but I am not doing gospel music and I don ’ t do secular music again too . I cannot call myself a minister of God just because I performed at a gospel show . I don ’ t have a name for my kind of music . If I feel like praising God today , I will make a song about God , and it doesn ’ t necessarily mean I am a gospel artiste . ”

Lynxx stated that he hadn ’ t released a new song in a while because he took time off music . “ I took a break because I needed to focus on business and my new found relationship with God in 2015. You could have a career but also have goals that might not be in line with what you do for a living. Sometimes , you have to make sacrifices and focus on other things before you get back to what you are known for , ” he said.
The rapper maintained that he had never regretted his decision to quit secular music . He added , “ God is the most important thing to me. You can never experience Christ in His true form and regret it . I don ’ t think there is anyone who can tell me that they have encountered the Holy Spirit and regretted it . It is impossible!”
After performing at the Catholic Church ’ s Unusual Praise concert two years ago , Lynxx explained why he didn ’ t perform at this year ’ s edition .
“I didn ’ t perform because I am now part of the community putting things together . I also wanted to experience the show , the worship and the praises. For me , I found fulfillment and joy in that , ” he added .
