Nigerian gospel reggae performer Buchi Atuonwu describes how his encounter with Jesus led him to leave a cult.
In an interview with Gaise Baba on Black Flame, Buchi stated that he came to the realization that the cult was a spiritual organization rather than a physical gathering.
“Jesus! I had a deeper understanding. Jesus showed me the meaning of the cult. He showed me it was not a physical association. You can’t bring a knife to a gun war. It was spiritual,” he said.
He stated that the sharing moment signaled the start of his break from the cult group.
“We were singing and walking when someone spoke into my ears; you don’t belong here. I ignored the voice but I heard it for the second time. That was when my problems started, running from other cults, from the police, etc.”
He disclosed that he was pursued by the voice until he gave up and quit the cult.
He claimed that following the encounter, he turned to gospel music and devoted his life to Christ. With the release of strong songs like Mma Mma, It Is Well, and What A Life, he has subsequently established himself as a global voice.
