The Story of A Christian Artist

She serves God in her music and she always puts her faith first in everything she does.

Raised in Walvis Bay, Whitney Movers says her childhood was easy and that she was always the quiet and shy girl, except when she was singing.

“I grew up in a Christian home where both my parents served God even before I was born. I think I am one of those blessed people who had a strong Christian foundation since day one,” Whitney says.

She was born on New Year’s Day, but she became born again on 7 July 2011. She says it was her choice to become a Christian.

“God was preparing me throughout that year, without me even knowing. I was busy singing and the next moment I found myself at the altar surrendering my everything to God. Seven years after that encounter I never had any doubts about wanting to go back to the world,” Whitney says.

Whitney uses her singing abilities to minister to others and she says that before she born her cousin knew she would be able to sing.

“When my mother was pregnant with me, my cousin just walked up to her and her, her name is going to be Whitney and she will sing’,” she says.

Her mother decided to give her the name and the prophecy over her life became a reality. Soon she became a singer and she really started to use her talent when she was five-years-old.

“I knew this was my passion since day one, because when I saw a microphone nobody could stop me from picking it up,” Whitney says.

Her love for music and singing has led her to also write songs. She says that although she does not play any instruments, she wants to learn, because it will improve her writing.

“The best feeling about writing is when I find myself in a place where the Spirit of God just leads me and directs the melodies,” she says.

According to Whitney she loves being an artist, because she gets to see God work through her gift and at the same time she gets to speak God’s glory into people’s lives.

“The testimonies I get after ministering makes me want to go on and on with what I am doing and making a positive impact in people’s lives is a blessing as an artist,” she says.

She says the reason she become a Christian artist is because she simply wanted to give back to God, who entrusted her with the gift.

“He gave His everything to me so the least I can do is to honour Him with my talent and singing for Him gives me the greatest joy ever,” Whitney says.

She says she hopes to go international with her music, to make a global difference. She wants to use her gift to not only inspire others, but to also show them what God can do.

“I see myself on huge platforms with some great artists and some of my favourite international artists. This is not to be seen or to be heard, but just to bring the lost to the light so the Kingdom of God can grow,” Whitney says.

She says that planning is good and she has no problem with planning ahead, but she is a firm believer in going where God will send her. She says she will follow the plans that God has for her life.

“People think I am crazy when I tell them this, but then those same people stand amazed when they see what God has done and after all that I get questions like, ‘Whitney, how did you get there?’ My faith in God has taught me to never look around when you put your trust in Him,” Whitney says.

She says that through her faith she wants to inspire other Christians and other upcoming artists. According to her other artists should just be willing to give back to God and to keep working for their goals and dreams.

She says they should seek first the Kingdom of God according to what is written in Matthew 6:33.

“I can personally testify that this has brought so many unexpected blessing and brought me to a place I never imagined myself to be. I have been in places I was not qualified to be, but God prepared me in the stillness and I reaped the fruit of it,” Whitney says.

According to her obedience to God is key and that He will reward those who are obedient to His call and voice. She says other Christians should diligent seek God.

“When you have a goal, make sure to put God first, even in your weakness He always has a way of coming through when you least expect it,” Whitney says.
