Veteran Nigerian music star, Sir Shina Peters, has revealed how he became a “Bishop” after his long career in music.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recently, the Afro-Juju creator said he was ordained as a Bishop in accordance with God’s directive.
In 2021, the “Ace” crooner was ordained as a Bishop at Cherubim and Seraphim Church of God in the Iju area of Lagos State.
While recounting how he was chosen for the position, Shina Peters said that the leadership of the church received divine instruction on his ordination.
The legendary musician further noted that though the instruction was divinely delivered to the leadership of the church, he rejected the offer initially but later accepted the ordination a few years after.

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 the hymns in my music and performances, and with this, I have won many souls for Christ.
“You know my music is usually taken from the hymns.
“And I tried to dodge the ordination for a while, until God finally got me arrested.”
Shina Peters went on to express satisfaction over 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 than to continue to give thanks to God for my achievements so far, by His grace.
“When I go down memory lane and I think about those we started the journey of life together, who are no more, I remain grateful to my creator.
“On what my fans should expect, I will only say they should expect something unusual very soon,” he added.
