Legendary Afro-Juju musician Sir Shina Peters revealed on Friday that his ordination as a bishop was in fulfilment of a divine calling.
In 2021, Shina Peters was ordained as a bishop at the Cherubim and Seraphim Church of God in the Iju area of Lagos State.
He emphasized that the church leadership received divine instruction regarding his ordination, which he noted was communicated to them several years before he accepted the role.
He stated, “The Almighty God told me that I should be made the first bishop of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church of God. This message was conveyed to the leaders of the church. God said this because I am the only musician who has consistently incorporated hymns into my music and performances, and through this, I have won many souls for Christ. My music is often based on hymns. Although I initially tried to avoid the ordination for a while, God eventually made it clear that it was time for me to accept.”
Reflecting on his career, Peters expressed satisfaction with his progress and gratitude for the guidance he has received over the years. “I am fulfilled and content. The only thing I now ask of my Creator is to continue enlightening me with His word and to grant me the grace to draw closer to Him. There is absolutely nothing else I want at this moment, except to keep thanking God for my achievements by His grace.”
He added, “When I think back to those I started this journey with who are no longer here, I remain grateful to my Creator. As for what my fans can expect, all I can say is they should look forward to something unusual very soon.”
