How I Became a Bishop of the C&S Church — Shina Peters

By Abigail Philip David

Legendary Afro-Juju musician, Sir Shina Peters, has shared insights into his ordination as a bishop, describing it as the fulfillment of a divine calling.

In 2021, Peters was ordained as the first bishop of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church of God in Iju, Lagos State. Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday, he revealed that his elevation was the result of divine instructions given to the church leadership years before he accepted the role.

“The Almighty God instructed the church leaders that I should be made the first bishop of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church of God,” he said. “This is because I am the only musician who has consistently incorporated hymns into my music and performances, winning many souls for Christ through this.”

The musician, known for integrating hymns into his Afro-Juju style, admitted that he initially resisted the ordination but eventually yielded to what he described as God’s persistent call. “I tried to avoid the ordination for a while, but God finally got me arrested,” he said.

Reflecting on his career and spiritual journey, Peters expressed gratitude and fulfillment. “I am content and fulfilled. The only thing I ask from my creator now is to keep enlightening me with His word and granting me the grace to draw closer to Him. I am endlessly thankful for His guidance and blessings,” he stated.

Peters also took a moment to reflect on the journey of his career, expressing gratitude for his achievements and the opportunity to outlast some of his contemporaries.

“When I think of those I started this journey with, who are no longer here, I remain deeply grateful to my creator,” he said. He also hinted at something new for his fans, saying, “Expect something unusual very soon.”
