International gospel superstar, Mercy Chinwo, has cleared five awards at the prestigious Maranatha Awards USA 2023.

The Maranatha Awards USA is a global worship music award scheme acknowledging authentic biblical worship music.

Expressing her delight, the ‘Excess Love’ crooner took to her Instagram handle and enthused, “It wasn’t always like this; the recognition and all that you see now. I’ve had my fair share of losses, failures, and disappointment in life but the thing is, I kept going, I refused to quit; not in the face of oppositions. Quite often, I take some time to reflect upon the Grace and Mercies of God upon my life and I’m humbled.

“Five (5) awards at a go… This is indeed a ‘Wonder’.

“From my heart, I’d very much like to appreciate my family (online and offline), my friends and well-wishers for joining me to pave the way for such an honour. I never would have made it this far without you all and this is worthy to note.

“To the entire team @maranathaawardsnetworks_global , I say a very big ‘thank you’. To my incredible team and everyone @gntnation you all rock💃💃 To the Almighty God, the One who has blessed me with all heavenly blessings in His Son, Jesus, I dedicate these awards, and to the advancement of the Kingdom agenda.”

Earlier in June, Chinwo was named the ‘Best International Artist’ at the 2023 Premier Gospel Awards in the United Kingdom.

The musician defeated eight other gospel artistes nominated for the category during the event held at the Cadogan Hall in London.
