“Mọ́mọ́ọ́rẹ,” the title track from JayMikee’s Generation N3xt 3.0 album, derives its name from the Yoruba phrase “Mọ́mọ́ọ́rẹ” meaning “I am grateful,” and its lyrics serve as a vibrant tapestry of thanksgiving and trust in God’s unfailing love. Released November 28, 2023, under Mount Zion Music Studios, the song merges Afro-gospel rhythms with heartfelt worship, inviting listeners into daily reflection on God’s mercies. Through its vivid recounting of past blessings, present sustenance, and future hope, “Momoore” aligns closely with Bible passage such as Lamentations 3:22–23, which remind us, “The faithful love of the Lord never ends!” (NLT). In the five reflections that follow, we will explore how “Momoore” can frame daily devotion, inspire faith, hope, and faithfulness, and foster deeper spiritual growth.

“Mọ́mọ́ọ́rẹ” by JayMikee

In Verse 1, JayMikee looks back on “my past…my present and my future,” “counting my blessings one by one” and declaring, “see what the Lord has done”. This mirrors the psalmist’s exhortation: “Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me” (Psalm 103:2 NLT). By beginning our day with such reflection, we anchor our devotion in gratitude rather than circumstances; transforming prayer into an active recounting of God’s faithfulness. Philippians 4:6 reinforces this posture: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done” (NLT). As we sing “Eni ba mọ́ọ́rẹ Jésù…kò korin ayò,” we rehearse thanksgiving, opening our hearts to God’s peace and presence.

Verse 2 situates us “in the middle of fuel subsidy [crisis], economic meltdown and [greedy] leaders,” yet declares, “Jesu kò jẹ́ gbagbé ọmọ rẹ” (“Jesus will not forget His children”). This confession resonates with Isaiah 41:10’s promise: “Don’t panic. I am with you… I will give you strength” (NLT). Even when “everywhere is like a big wilderness,” we claim God’s nearness, mirroring 2 Corinthians 4:8–9: “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed” (NLT). By incorporating “Momoore” into our devotions, we cultivate hope; trusting that God’s mercy follows us and His grace suffices in every trial. The Bridge – “Mo yin Olúwa…ki gbogbo eniyan ke fọríbalẹ̀ fun Oba awon Oba”. This aligns with Colossians 3:16: “Let the message about Christ […] fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom […] and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude” (NLT). Singing “Momoore” together reinforces faithfulness to God’s Word, rooting corporate and personal worship in Scripture. As we bow and sing, we reinforce the heart posture Paul describes: “Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder” (Romans 12:12 NLT), ensuring our devotion is both heartfelt and lasting.

The chorus plea, “Eni to ba mọ́nùrọ̀ a mọ́pé dá…Gbọ́ pé gbà yín wa,” (“He who is grateful will receive and leap for joy”) invites a cycle of thanksgiving that fuels spiritual growth. This echoes Ephesians 6:10’s charge to “be strong in the Lord” (NLT), as gratitude deepens our reliance on Him. Personal experience testifies that rehearsing God’s past goodness trains our hearts to trust His future provisions; mirroring Romans 8:28’s assurance that “in all things God works for the good of those who love him” (NLT). Thus, “Momoore” not only awakens praise but also anchors our spiritual journey in God’s unchanging nature.
