Renowned gospel vocalist Ifeoluwa Meroko releases a new single and music video titled “IGBA“, a soul stirring worship expression centered on waiting on God, trusting His timing, and remaining steadfast in faith.

Through heartfelt vocals, reflective expressions, and a deeply spiritual message, “IGBA” speaks to believers who are navigating seasons of expectation, uncertainty, delay, and anticipation. The song reminds listeners that waiting on God is not wasted time but an opportunity to develop patience, deepen faith, and trust His perfect plan.

At the heart of the song is a call to rest in God’s timing rather than becoming discouraged by what has not yet happened. The song encourages listeners to believe that God knows the appointed time for every promise and that His faithfulness remains constant throughout every season.

The Meaning of The Song

IGBA is a Yoruba word that means “Season” or “Time.”

The title captures the heart of the song by drawing attention to the different seasons people experience throughout life.

There are seasons of waiting, preparation, growth, celebration, testing, transition, and fulfillment. While human beings may desire to move quickly from one season to another, “IGBA” reminds listeners that God’s timing carries wisdom and purpose.

The title therefore becomes more than a description of time. It serves as a reminder to trust the God who understands every season and knows exactly when each promise should come to fulfillment.
