Following the deeply moving impact of her previous release, “Your Mercy,” Nigerian gospel minister Dera Getrude returns with a powerful and spirit-filled new single titled “Most High,” featuring the anointed Reverend Paul C. Chikwem. This new release marks another significant step in Dera’s growing ministry, reaffirming her calling as a worshipper committed to leading hearts into genuine encounters with God. Most High is not just a song—it is a bold proclamation of God’s majesty, sovereignty, and eternal reign.
Accompanied by a stunning live video directed by Mathews Media, Most High is presented as a worship experience rather than a studio performance. The live visual captures a sacred atmosphere of reverence, awe, and heartfelt exaltation, drawing viewers into a moment of pure worship. Every frame of the video reflects the essence of Dera Getrude’s ministry—simple, sincere, and deeply centered on the presence of God. The synergy between the worship leaders, musicians, and congregation creates a powerful environment where worship flows freely and the focus remains solely on God.
Produced by the exceptional D’Elect, Most High blends rich musical arrangements with vocal excellence and spiritual depth. The production supports the worship seamlessly, allowing the lyrics and melodies to carry their full weight. The song builds gently yet powerfully, leading listeners into a place of adoration and surrender. Reverend Paul C. Chikwem’s anointed contribution adds a prophetic and priestly dimension to the song, reinforcing its message of God’s supremacy and holiness.
At its core, Most High is a declaration—one that lifts God above every circumstance, challenge, and distraction. The song calls believers to shift their focus from the noise of the world and fix their gaze on the One who reigns forever. It is a reminder that God remains exalted above all, seated on the throne, unshaken by the affairs of men. Through its heartfelt lyrics and worshipful delivery, the song invites listeners into an intimate encounter with the eternal King.
