Renowned Nigerian gospel minister Daps Dalyop Gwom, widely known as Daps, is out with the release of his highly anticipated new EP “Karbi Yabo Na (Take My Praise)”. Rooted in the genre of African Epic Worship, the project emerges as a deeply spiritual and prophetic body of work shaped by divine encounter and revelation.
The inspiration behind the EP came during a moment of reflection, as Daps sat with his guitar contemplating the multifaceted nature of God as Father, King, and Judge. In that atmosphere, a powerful melody in the Hausa language began to flow, later revealing itself as more than just a song, but a prophetic sound birthed from what he describes as the courtroom of heaven. Designed as a tool for spiritual warfare, “Karbi Yabo Na” channels the frustrations of injustice faced by the faithful while offering a bold, prayerful appeal to God as the righteous Judge who defends and restores.
At its core, the EP represents an act of spiritual persistence, a cry that symbolically knocks on the doors of the heavenly courtroom, trusting in divine intervention to shift outcomes and seasons. The project blends deep worship with intercessory intensity, creating a soundscape that is both reflective and powerfully charged.
With over three decades in ministry, Daps Dalyop Gwom has established himself as a pioneering force in African prophetic worship. Born in Jos, he serves as a gospel minister and senior leader of Ancient Floodgate Global Ministry, and is widely recognized for shaping a distinctive prophetic and apostolic worship expression often referred to as manna music. His extensive catalogue includes acclaimed songs such as “Kadosh You Reign,” “My Altar is Calling You,” and “Season of Kings,” alongside multiple albums including “Shoafar Africa” and “Ancient Worship.”
Beyond his recordings, Daps’ influence extends into teaching and leadership. He has composed official anthems for Nigerian states such as Edo and Plateau, serves as a tutor at the School of David, and convenes the globally recognized Feast of Incense International Conference. His impact has resonated across continents, with his song “I See Yahweh” gaining international recognition after being performed inside one of Jerusalem’s historic Protestant churches, eventually becoming an anthem embraced in over 22 nations.
Drawing inspiration from global gospel icons like Paul Wilbur, Fred Hammond, and Don Moen, Daps continues to expand the boundaries of worship through sound, spirit, and message.
With “Karbi Yabo Na (Take My Praise),” Daps Dalyop Gwom delivers more than music; he offers a spiritual experience rooted in faith, justice, and divine encounter—one that is poised to resonate deeply with worshippers across Africa and beyond.
