T-Rad is a regular dude, below average without Christ, but in Christ he is more than a conqueror. Born Anthony Oluwatoyin Makanju in Nigeria, West Africa. He has always loved music and poetry but because he was lost he could not make any sense of this God given desire. He ventured out on his own and tried making secular music but it was around that time Christ got a hold of him. He laid all his ambition of becoming a famous rapper down and got rooted in the faith and that was when God reawakened the desire of making music in him again, and this time it was for God's glory, it was a calling to bless God and His people with his gift.
"I am a child of God, a bond servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, called to make music for the Glory of the King of kings. My heart is overflowing with a good theme, I recite my composition concerning the King- my Lord Jesus Christ. I am here to testify to the resurrection power of the wonderful Savior. Before Christ I was dead in sin and woven in iniquity, the pursuit of worldly pleasure consumed my soul and left me useless. The search for meaning outside of Christ led me into deep confusion and every kind of disappointment. In all my fruitless pursuit for fulfillment, love never felt so bad, and pride tore me apart, but the saddest part was that I was clueless of the root of this mystery- I thought it was bad luck and I just needed to make some adjustments, was I wrong. The Bible says the wages of sin is death but gift the of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ. Praise God! I received the gift of God. In the gift of God there is a revelation of the love of God, and I am on the quest to know the depth, length, width and height of this love. I have not arrived, I am still digging in the treasure chest of the wonderful Word of God. The reward of going through this process has been incredible, Christ is filling my heart with His overflowing love and the whole world is going to hear about it. God has given me life in Christ, I have inherited God and I am willing to share. I am sounding the alarm to the world to stop resisting the love of God in Christ (John 3:16-For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life) I know some people have heard this truth countless of times- It does not bother me to proclaim it again and again!! It is a powerful revelation that can save and change the life of whoever receives it.
I have been forgiven much and I have chosen to love much. God has given me a mouth and a voice to shout the praise of His greatness and by His empowering presence I will do what He has called me to do."
