Renowned Nigerian gospel singer and trumpeter, Nathaniel Bassey, brought a spiritual touch to Washington DC on the 20th of January, 2025, as he ministered at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast of President Donald Trump.
The event, hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner, was distinctly non-governmental and non-political, serving as a sacred moment following the swearing-in ceremony of President Trump.
Bassey, celebrated for his anointed music, delivered a stirring rendition of his iconic song, ‘Take the Stage.’ In a powerful appeal, he called on Jesus to “take over the White House” while offering a heartfelt prayer for divine guidance over the United States.
His music resonated deeply, as he implored God to shine His glory upon the nation.
Reflecting on the unique opportunity, Bassey shared how Reverend Turner reached out to him after receiving divine instruction during prayer to invite him to “release His glory over the United States.”
It was a moment of profound faith and a testament to the global reach of his ministry.
