Netizens have reacted to the viral video of Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie saying he has a calling to be a preacher.
The 40-year-old who has since gone controversial following his second marriage to his colleague, Judy Austin shared a video on YouTube where he claimed that he received the calling long ago but took no step to actualize it.
He further disclosed that he is taking steps to heed the call
In the video, Edochie said:
“I have a calling to be a preacher of God, to be one of God’s minister, to preach the word of God through words and actions.
“I’ve had this calling a long time ago – actually, many years ago. But, I’ve always felt maybe the time hadn’t come, the time wasn’t right. But now, it’s very strong. I feel the time has come.
“God has blessed me in this life. By God’s grace, I’ve become one of the biggest, one of the most celebrated actors in the continent of Africa. God has taken me to a very high point in my career.
“I’m starting to realise God lifted me as an actor to where I am so that I can become one of his ministers.”
Netizens slam Yul Edochie
