Actor Yul Edochie from Nollywood has acknowledged that he has a calling to serve as a minister of God.

According to Inspiration FM, Edochie, 40, announced this in a video posted on Monday on his YouTube account, Yul Edochie TV.

The actor said in the post that he had been given the guidance in the past but had not yet put it into practice. He noticed that the calling had become "extremely strong" on him and that the time had arrived for him to act.

In the video, he said, "I have a calling to be a preacher of God, to be one of God's ministers, to preach the word of God via words and acts.
 "I've felt this calling for a very long time, in fact for many years. I've always thought, however, that maybe the moment hadn't arrived or wasn't the proper time. However, it's much stronger today. I believe the moment is now.

God had given Yul renown, he continued, so that he might someday utilize 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.
