Nollywood actor Yul Edochie says he has been called to become a minister of God.
Edochie revealed this in a video shared via his YouTube channel, Yul Edochie TV, earlier this week.
In the post, the actor claimed he had received the instruction long ago, without taking steps to actualise it.

He noted that the time had come for him to take steps as the calling had become “very strong” on him.
“I have a calling to be a preacher of God, to be one of God’s minister (sic), to preach the word of God through words and actions,” he said in the video.
“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.”
Yul also added that God had given him fame so that he could eventually use it for the ministry.
“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,” he stated.
Quest Times understands the actor had in January, 2022 during his 40th birthday also declared to run for the presidency.
“I have just one more prayer point, one more birthday wish as I turn 40 today.
“Dear God, please make me the President of Nigeria in 2023 so I can wipe away the tears of my people.
“Thank you Lord for answering my prayer,” he was quoted as saying.
