Tanzanian gospel singer Christina Shusho recently opened up about her decision to leave her marital home, citing a need to focus on her calling and pursue a divine assignment.
In an interview with New Jerusalem Church TV, Shusho shared insights into her journey and the reasons behind her departure from her home.
She emphasized her commitment to authenticity and truthfulness, stating that her decision stemmed from a dream she had, which she believed was a divine assignment she needed to pursue wholeheartedly.
“For me, let me speak from a pure heart. I ask those who will follow and believe in me to know that this is who I am. I have never been fake, and I don’t lie. The truth is, it’s just an assignment. There is nothing different other than that. The assignment God has given me this season cannot allow me to stay where I was. I had to leave to go fulfill the assignment,” she explained.
Despite the significant decision to leave home, Shusho highlighted that the process was amicable. She approached her husband respectfully and requested his support in releasing her to embark on her journey.
“I told him to allow me to carry my burden as I usually do. Let me carry my load, and you continue with your service. There was no problem at all,” she stated, underscoring the mutual understanding between them.
Addressing inquiries about the seeming similarity in their callings, Shusho clarified that while they were united in marriage, their callings were distinct.
She emphasized the importance of respecting each other’s unique paths and reaching agreements based on mutual understanding.
Furthermore, Shusho expressed discomfort with being referred to as a pastor, stating that she prefers not to be associated with the title. Despite engaging in pastoral work, she emphasized her focus on achieving her goals beyond the confines of traditional labels.
“Am not into sijui Pastor Christina Shusho. Kwnaz amtu akiniita pastor am not comfortable na hiyo kitu. Kwa sababu it doesn’t change anything. Nachotaka kuona ni kile nichotaka nimeachieve. That’s it. It’s nothing about being a pastor,” she explained.
