Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has opened up on his reason for becoming a pastor.
Recall that Yul launched his online church, True Salvation Ministry (TSM), in January, and has since held regular Sunday services on his YouTube channel and frequently addresses various issues.
The much maligned actor, in an interview posted on his YouTube page Monday, claimed that his calling as a minister of God was predetermined.
He said, “First of all, becoming a pastor is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Serving God and being able to tell people about Him are wonderful and bring me a peace I never had before. Many years ago (in 2012 or 2013), people told me I would be a minister of God, but I never believed them because I was thriving in Nollywood and making money. I thought that having money would allow me to enjoy my life.
“Then, as time passed, I began to hear the voice myself. I would sit down, and the voice would come, saying, ‘You’re going to be a minister of God; you’re going to work for me, just know this.’ Nothing else made sense to me, and the things I used to do that distracted me from God no longer made sense. That’s when I knew it was time to work for Him. I had many prayer points years back, and when I look back, I realise that God has answered them all. He told me, ‘I have done all these for you; now it’s time for you to do mine’.”
