Worshipper. Psalmist. Teacher.

Stirring a generation into intimacy with God

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

2 Corinthians 3:18NKJV

Worship, the way I understand it, is more than a song or a style of music. It is a whole life, given to God and held back by nothing. Scripture puts it this way:

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.”

Romans 12:1ESV

A living sacrifice. That costs something real. You have to lay things down: your ego, your need to be recognized, your own agenda. Not once, but every day. Jesus called His followers to deny themselves and take up their cross daily. So I die to myself daily. And what I have found is that the more I let go of me, the more room there is for God. I decrease, and He increases.

That is where my calling lives. Not in building a name or a following, but in living a life that makes God visible, in private and in public, in the ordinary moments and on the stage. Jesus said:

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Matthew 5:16NKJV

The light is seen, but the Father gets the glory. That is what I have watched happen when a life is truly surrendered. People begin to sense something real. A searching heart turns toward God. A church moves from going through the motions to meeting Him for real. I cannot draw anyone to God. Only He can do that. My part is to stay surrendered and keep lifting up His name.

By God’s grace, that calling has found shape in song, in teaching, in mentoring others, and in prayer. Some of it has made it onto records, all of them under Music.

It also gave birth to the Before The Throne (BTT) Worship collective, a community of worshippers in Ottawa committed to pursuing God’s presence together and worshipping Him in spirit and in truth. One expression of a lifelong calling to awaken a generation of genuine worshippers.

About Victor

Born in Lagos, Nigeria, in the 80s, I grew up in a home where faith was alive. My parents grounded us in God with intention, planting seeds of faith, and I am grateful for every bit of it. Those seeds found good soil, and as I grew, I came to a place where I gave my life to Christ personally, accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, got baptized in the Holy Spirit, and have continued to forge ahead in my Christian walk.

My service life in the house of God began in the 90s when I joined the choir at my local church as a very amateur drummer with fervent zeal. At the time, I was only a child and could not explain it. I just knew I wanted to keep serving at church. Then university came, and my walk and faith deepened. I found myself in an environment rich with godly leaders who poured into us, nurtured our faith and stirred a fire that has not gone out since: a hunger to know God more, to love Him more, to serve from a place of true worship. That season shaped me.

When we seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, He provides all we need. We do not chase the gifts. We pursue the Giver.

Today, I am based in Ottawa, Canada, where I lead worship and serve at my local church. Over two decades in, my love for Kingdom service and true worship has only grown.

Away from the platform, I am a husband and a father, living with my family here in Ottawa. Jesus said, “Without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5, NKJV), and that keeps me grounded. More than anything, I crave a constant and deepening fellowship with the Holy Spirit, to be the same in private as I am in public, just faithful to the God who has been so faithful to me.
