Legendary Afro-Juju musician, Sir Shina Peters, has disclosed that his ordination as a bishop in 2021 was a result of a divine calling.

The veteran singer, known for blending gospel hymns with Afro-Juju rhythms, was ordained at the Cherubim and Seraphim Church of God in the Iju area of Lagos State.

Speaking to journalists on Friday, Sir Shina Peters explained that the ordination came after years of divine messages received by the church leadership. He shared that he initially avoided the calling but eventually accepted it after feeling spiritually compelled.

“The Almighty God told me that I should be made the first bishop of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church of God. He told the leaders of the church,” Peters revealed. “God said this because I am the only musician who has consistently used hymns in my music and performances, and through this, I have won many souls for Christ.”

The veteran artist further elaborated on how his music, often inspired by gospel hymns, has played a significant role in his spiritual journey. “You know my music is often based on hymns. And I tried to avoid the ordination for a while until God finally got me arrested,” he said.

Reflecting on his life and career, the 65-year-old singer expressed gratitude for his accomplishments and the guidance he has received. “I am fulfilled; I am content. The only thing I now ask my creator for is to keep enlightening me with His word and to grant me the grace to draw closer to Him,” he said.

Peters also noted the importance of gratitude, acknowledging those who started their musical journey alongside him but are no longer alive. “When I think back to those I started this journey with, who are no longer here, I remain grateful to my creator,” he added.

As for what fans can expect next, Peters teased that something “unusual” is on the horizon, although he did not provide specifics.
