He likened the scenario to his situation and stated that he has mostly considered himself as a teacher or minister rather than embracing the title of a pastor. According to him, it is more important for his preachings to do the work and positively impact the lives of people.

Banky made it clear that he isn’t obsessed with titles, adding that he has never gone for any pastoral ordination ceremony.

The singer made reference to how his spiritual leader, Pastor Tony Rapu, once made a joke about how people said he has ordained him.
