Legendary Nigerian juju musician, Sir Shina Peters, has shared the Godly inspiration behind his ordination as a bishop in the Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S) Church.
The 66-year-old music icon revealed that God directed the church leadership to make him the “first bishop of the church,” a decision tied to his long-standing dedication to incorporating hymns into his music.
Speaking in a recent interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Peters explained, “The Almighty God told the leaders of the church that I should be made the first bishop in C&S. Because I’m the only musician who has been consistent in using hymns in my songs and performances, through which I have won many souls for Christ.
Known for his soulful juju music that often blends religious hymns with modern rhythms, Peters acknowledged that his ordination was not something he embraced immediately.
“I tried to dodge the ordination for a while until God finally got me arrested,” he added.
