Raise Am is an energetic gospel praise song from Nigerian gospel minister Bidemi Olaoba, a singer, songwriter, and worship leader widely recognized for blending Gospel Highlife with Fuji-inspired praise. Known for popular songs such as “Give Me Chance” featuring Mercy Chinwo and his signature declaration, “The Bible Says,” Bidemi has become one of Nigeria’s most recognizable contemporary praise leaders. He has ministered on major gospel platforms across Nigeria and internationally. Public records identify him with GNT Nation, while some recent releases have also appeared through other label partnerships.
In “Raise Am,” Bidemi Olaoba delivers a vibrant call to lift up praise and celebrate God’s faithfulness regardless of life’s circumstances. Rather than dwelling on challenges, the song encourages believers to raise their voices in thanksgiving, trusting that God remains faithful to His promises. Its infectious rhythm, joyful chants, and call-and-response style make it especially suitable for church services, praise gatherings, and personal moments of celebration.
Beyond its lively sound, the song reminds listeners that praise is an act of faith as much as it is a response to victory. Choosing to “raise” praise before seeing every prayer answered reflects confidence in God’s character and sovereignty. The message inspires Christians to maintain joyful worship, strengthen their hope, and encourage others through a lifestyle of gratitude. If you enjoy energetic African gospel praise filled with biblical encouragement and congregational worship, “Raise Am” is a song worth adding to your playlist and sharing during moments of thanksgiving.
