"Not knowing Nathaniel Bassey or any of the young vibrant servants of God being used does not make you any less a Christian. In fact, there are so many Christians who have never heard of me nor my music. It doesn’t make them any less christians," he said.
The singer who sang at Donald Trump's inauguration prayer breakfast added that not participating in his midnight “Hallelujah Challenge” does not diminish one’s faith.
"Also, not joining the Hallelujah challenge does not make you less a Christian. People are free to connect with what’s best for them. Those of us joining should never look down on those joining. Those who are not joining should also not look down on those joining," he said.
