Every gift is given by God, in fact the bible tells us in James 1:17: every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, so whether it is to sing, preach or speak it is the gift of God. Sometimes gifting can run in the family, heres a few moments where gospel artists and their children have shared the same gift for ministry. Brian Courtney Wilson and son Joshua In a video posted by gospel and contemporary artist Brian Courtney Wilson we see his son sharing the spotlight in praising the Lord. Some said in the comments: my Lord. Wow. What a blessing to see this generational anointing and gift be empowered by a proud father! and another said: like father, like son! I know you and your wife are so very proud! To GOD be the glory!
