Actor Yul Edochie has said that God directed him to his hometown to learn about traditional worship after announcing his plans to become a pastor.

It would be recalled that in 2023, Yul Edochie announced his intentions to begin an online ministry and become a pastor.

This caused a stir online. However, after holding just a few services, Yul started to show interest in traditional worship.

In a new post shared on social media on March 19, 2025, Edochie revealed that his interest in traditional worship started shortly after he set up his online ministry.

Yul Edochie stated that he felt incomplete while preaching the word of God and then God told him to go home and learn about his people.

According to the movie star, he could not be preaching about the Israelites without knowing about his village people of Nteje.

As a result, he mentioned that God directed him to learn traditional worship and the ways of his people, which he did and it made him feel complete.

He said, “While preaching the word of God, I felt a vacuum. I felt there was more to it. I felt incomplete.

Then God said to me, ‘Go home and know about your people.

You cannot be preaching about the people of Israel, yet you know nothing about the people of Nteje.

Go home and learn the traditional worship and ways of your people, for they are approved by God. And when I came back home, I became complete.”
