God has called me to serve him, but not as a pastor- BBNaija’s Pere Egbi opens up on his ministerial calling

Big Brother Naija ‘shine ya eyes’ finalist, Pere Egbi, has opened up on his ministerial calling.

Speaking with Saturday Beats, the reality star said that the burden to become a pastor is getting heavier by the day. Hence, the desire to accomplish it before he dies.

Pere Egbi, however, made it known that he hasn’t been called to be a pastor but he desires to serve God.

Opening up about his background, he revealed that he was raised in a solid Christian home by his mother, hence his thirst for God.

“First of all, I have not been called to be a pastor. There are five other ministerial offices according to Ephesians 4:11. The pastoral office is one of them. So, it’s more of a desire to serve God. I was raised in a solid Christian home by my mother who means so much to me.

“This is a call I have had from my younger days while in secondary school at Command Day Ikeja, Lagos. God calls and we are required to answer, but I’ve been running. The burden and the weight to answer is becoming heavier as the years go by and I have to answer. Hence, I know for a fact that it’s the last thing I’d be doing on earth before I leave.”

He also spoke about his works in his church and some of the values that guide him.

He said, “Christ Embassy is my church and I have been a member from my late teens. I believe I was 19 when I started attending services at the Oregun branch of the church in Lagos. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome inspired me and still does. I functioned in the choir as a worship leader before I got caught up deep in entertainment. Values like faith, perseverance, persistence and hope guide me in life”.
