UK-based contemporary gospel artist Funmi Reks releases her latest single, Eliyah, a spiritually charged anthem inspired by Ephesians 1:17-18. This deeply moving composition speaks to the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, the affirmation of our divine calling, and the eternal inheritance we share in Christ Jesus.
Eliyah is a prophetic sound that stirs the spirit, realigns listeners with divine purpose, and redirects hearts to the living Word. Delivered in Funmi Reks’ signature soulful style, the song blends elements of contemporary Christian music, ballad, R&B, and soul, creating a powerful worship experience for audiences worldwide.
Born Phebean Oluwafunmilola Awolola in Lagos, Nigeria, Funmi Reks grew up under the spiritual mentorship of her parents, Apostle Awolola and the late Deaconess Awolola. She is the fourth of five children and the second daughter in her family. Her love for music was cultivated early; she joined the adult choir at the age of seven, encouraged by her mother to rise to the challenge and grow in her musical abilities.
Now based in the United Kingdom for over three decades, Funmi has refined her musical abilities, exploring genres such as jazz, funk, highlife, and soul, while remaining rooted in gospel. Beyond music, she holds qualifications in nursing, public health, and environmental safety, reflecting her deep commitment to service and care.
Funmi Reks is a leading voice at I AM Ministries and is married to Pastor SB Orekoya, host pastor of I AM Ministries. Her passion is clear: to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through music that heals, uplifts, and awakens people to God’s love and truth.
Eliyah is now available on all major streaming platforms.
