Legendary Afro-Juju musician, Sir Shina Peters, on Friday shared that he was ordained as a Bishop in accordance with God’s directive.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that in 2021, Shina Peters was ordained as a Bishop at the Cherubim and Seraphim Church of God, in the Iju area of Lagos State.

While speaking with NAN in Lagos, the musician explained that the leadership of the church had received divine instructions regarding his ordination.

He said the instruction, which was divinely delivered to the church leaders, came years before he accepted the ordination.

He said: “The Almighty God said that I should be made the first bishop in the Cherubim and Seraphim Church of God. He told the leaders of the church. God said this is because I am the only musician who has been consistent in using hymns in my music and performances, and with this, I have won many souls for Christ. You know my music is usually taken from hymns. And I tried to dodge the ordination for a while until God finally got me arrested.”

Speaking about his career, Peters expressed satisfaction with his growth and appreciated God for guiding him through the years.

“I am fulfilled, I am contented. The only thing I always ask my creator for now is to keep me more enlightened in His word and the grace to get closer to Him. There is absolutely nothing I want to ask again, except to continue giving thanks to God for my achievements so far, by His grace. When I go down memory lane and think about those with whom I started the journey of life, who are no longer here, I remain grateful to my creator.”

On what his fans should expect, he said, “I will only say they should expect something unusual very soon,” he concluded.
