Lawrence Oyor’s “Favour” stands out as one of the most impactful gospel releases of 2025, blending prophetic declarations with a deeply uplifting sound. The song delivers a powerful message rooted in Psalm 5:12 — that God surrounds His people with favour “as with a shield” — and Oyor expresses it with a mix of chant‑like intensity and gentle, spirit‑soaked worship. This combination has resonated with listeners across Nigeria and beyond.
“Favour” did more than inspire spiritually; it created a cultural moment. The track quickly went viral, dominating TikTok prayer challenges, morning affirmations, and user‑generated worship content. Its irresistible hook and anthem‑like energy helped it become the most streamed Nigerian song of 2025 on Spotify, surpassing even mainstream Afrobeats giants. With 2.9 million January streams alone, it marked a historic moment for gospel music in the digital era.
Listeners describe the song as both comforting and empowering — a soundtrack for faith, declarations, and spiritual momentum. Whether played in personal devotion, church gatherings, or even workplaces, “Favour” continues to shape how many believers speak and pray over their year.
