Actor Majid Michel says that although he has been seen on numerous occasions sharing the word of God, he is not an ordained pastor.

Speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, on Monday, he said that media personnel mistook him for an evangelist or a pastor when he started preaching the word of God.

He told the host Andy Dosty that “In a bid to share what I had learnt, the media saw me in various churches, conferences, and gatherings where I spoke about these things and it was the media that said I am a pastor, I have never been to the Bible school. I have never been an ordained pastor.

Majid Michel said that he only began to share the word of God after he developed an understanding of Christianity and its teachings.

“Growing up I never understood any of those things (being Christian), and after I grew up, I found out for myself, read it for myself…After I grew up and discovered it for myself I decided to teach it,” he added.

He noted that he believes it is good for a person to have a prayerful life and a relationship with God.
