The True Worshippers

History

About a decade ago, I felt discontent with my profession and career over nine solid years as a software engineer and took a break to discover my purpose. On one fine evening, I had a supernatural encounter with God whilst watching an interview of Andrae Crouch. He spoke on how God had gifted him with music despite no formal training. His Dad who had a calling to crossover into full-time ministry loved music so much that he made a deal with God – if God would grant his son Andrae the gift of music, he would in turn accept the call to preach.

In short, God gave Andrae an amazing gift after his Dad prayed. Andrae’s first song – “The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power”, was composed at the age of 14 at a picnic party. Watching this made such a strong impression on me that with tears in my eyes, I made a covenant with God that if he would bless me with such a gift of music as Andrae had, I would use my voice and musical talents only for His Glory.

The next morning, as I practiced on my piano a melody I couldn’t get out of my head – “Love Look What You’ve Done to Me” by David Foster and Boz Scaggs, I received an overwhelming inspiration through that melody about “the beginnings”, when the Spirit of God hovered over the deep (Gen 1:1-3). I managed to write a few lines down as tears flowed down my cheeks unto the sheet. Unlearned in the things of God, I could not deduce that I was having an encounter with God and was seeing a spiritual vision as I ended up flat on the floor – sobbing to release the overwhelming emotion I felt within me because of this strong presence over me. Laying on the floor seemed to make my body feel better.

Indeed I could not have fathomed how much was wrapped up in the gift I asked for, but over the years I began to experience various dimensions of it as it was unpacked to my understanding and the profit of others.

Two years later, I had a strong desire to put together an inter-denominational music group that would minister in public places and in churches. I discussed it with an acquaintance who had just completed his first degree in church music and was looking for the next thing to pursue in life. He thought I was over zealous, especially since I said that the group had to do with “revival”. I quite recall him asking: “Has God told you this has to do with revival”?

Being raised as a conservative Methodist, frankly I could not answer him confidently with regards to hearing God because these were early moments of learning to be intentionally led by the promptings and voice of the Holy Spirit, at least according to how Charismatic or Pentecostal believers put it. I however felt genuinely inspired and stirred toward this cause and was not driven by profit, so we sorted out our differences and together worked on an online advert seeking out singers, instrumentalists and gifted people to join our little group. It was an incredible time as we went through several auditions of singers. Very quickly, we were able to filter out and put together a group of 12 members. About two months later, we got an opportunity to minister at the 10th anniversary of a church, so I felt we needed a name. I sought the Lord for a name to call the group and in prayer, “True Worshippers” came into my heart. I later found this name in the gospel of John 4:23.

This group went on to minister songs like “Use Me”, “At the cross”, “More than enough” and “He’s been faithful” by Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir at the church.

To my pleasant surprise I ran into my ordained life partner on this assignment and we got married 7 months later. It was a thrilling time of hope, faith, and love. These months were one of the most crucial short seasons of maturity in my young adult life. My wife was a worship leader in church.

Shortly after getting married, I was led by the Holy Spirit to put the group on a hiatus believing that God wanted to work separately on the individual members.

Successive years brought clarity as God confirmed that the true worshippers is my divine assignment, for which I will be judged by the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit has equipped me with further anointings and gifts for this work, along with intense training and special revelation as a prophet of a generation.

On 2nd July 2021, in a vision and by the word of the Lord, I was commissioned for the second phase of my ministry where I am sent to schools to bring a cleansing and a mighty harvest. Through evangelistic crusades that are musical in nature, God has instructed me to simply mount up worship to Him with my keyboard and has promised to manifest His presence and move in the midst of students with His power of salvation, deliverance and healing.

Along with a team of singers and musicians, we setup revival tents in schools and regions that lasts for days and hosts the manifest presence of the Lord which destroys the works of the devil and establishes the kingdom of God in the lives and hearts of people. Thus the theme: on earth as in heaven.

The days are evil and gross darkness has covered the people, but we have the fulfillment of bible prophecy underway and the sons of God are rising. The King of glory returns but must first be seen in His people. (Isaiah 60)
