Musician Blakk Rasta has revealed the extraordinary journey that led him to embrace his calling as a pastor or man of God.
Amidst his controversial media persona, he was ordained as a pastor on October 21, 2022, following his completion of Bible school training at Breakthrough Family Chapel under Bishop Samuel Osei-Tutu.
During an interview on Hitz FM with Andy Dosty, Blakk Rasta shared how his calling began with vivid dreams that soon transcended into real-life occurrences, leaving him feeling bewildered. He recounted experiencing premonitions of natural disasters and other significant events, which compelled him to seek answers.
“My calling is not a church calling. I woke up and I was seeing stars, the smallest slumber I was seeing things happening. I saw some earthquake happening somewhere, I saw planes crashing somewhere, I was going mad,” he explained.
“On Lagazee’s show, I told him ‘Oh last night I went to bed and this was what I saw in Venezuela’ bam! It happened.”
His quest for understanding led him to encounter Prophet Bernard, who astonishingly recounted intimate details of Blakk Rasta’s childhood experiences. This confirmation from his parents solidified his belief in his calling.
“So, I wanted to find out what I was going through . I went to a bookshop looking for a book about the prophetic and all that and then I asked the girl (sales girl) ‘who is the biggest prophet in Ghana?’ Because I was not used to those people. She said Bernard ElBenard.
“When I met with him, he told me things that shocked me. He said, ‘when you were 2 years, this was what happened to you,’” Blakk Rasta recalled.
Moreover, Blakk Rasta recounted numerous instances where strangers and acquaintances alike shared dreams of him preaching in a white gown in the marketplace, further affirming his divine purpose.
“Any church I went to and I hid at the back, a prophet will say ‘I’m seeing something, there’s somebody here who has a calling… every prophetic church,” he added. “Interestingly, throughout the whole month, people called me on the phone ‘Blakk, I had a dream about you’ what dream? All of them said one thing : I saw you wearing a white gown and you were in the market place preaching. Every one of them, over 50 people called. From that time, anybody who called me and said I had a dream, I’d say ‘you saw me in a white gown preaching in the market’. So, over there I realized that truly I have a calling.”
Embracing his calling, he has embarked on a nationwide tour of Ghana, advocating for patriotism and delivering impassioned speeches in marketplaces.
“If I don’t accept this calling, I’m fooling myself and I’m fooling the almighty,” he disclosed.
Despite initial skepticism, Blakk Rasta’s acceptance of his calling has been met with support and validation from those around him, reinforcing his commitment to his newfound path as a pastor.
“I’m doing a nationwide tour of Ghana. I’m talking about patriotism. I go to the market place , jump and hop and then when the people gather I peach to them about my nation.”
