Nigerian singer Emmanuel Okosi, also known as Soul E, now resides in South Africa, where he pastors a church known as 'The Evidence Church of God', where he now holds crusades and revival programmes.
Soul E now called 'Prophet Emmanuel', who relocated from Nigeria back in 2013, gave his life to Christ and became a man of God, after he said God threatened to make him cripple if he fails to do his work.
Back in 2014, during a chat with Encomium Magazine, Soul E revealed that he was called into the office by God. At that time he was said to be working on a double (Gospel/International) album.
“I don’t like talking about myself but by the grace of God, I would say I was called into the office of a prophet,” he said.
When asked about his calling he revealed that he was called to bless people around the world.
In a separate interview, he was asked whether he regrets the time wasted singing secular music.
He said "No, the Bible says in all things give thanks. My life is like a story, but I thank God for using me to his glory.
Soul E joins a growing list of celebrities who have taken the religious calling, choosing to serve God. They include Liz Benson, Eucharia Anunobi, Helen Ukpabio, Zack Orji, Sidney Dialla, Patrick Doyle, and Larry Coldsweat.
It would be recalled that in December 2017, Soul E's former wife, Queen Ure got married again many years after her marriage to the singer crashed. She later found love in the arms of a pastor, Silas Briyork-Newman.
