Portable says God speaks through him

Portable claimed to be God’s servant despite being a gangster. He said God’s spirit would have informed him if the preacher he slapped was a real pastor or not. The singer shut down claims of disrespecting God’s servant.

Portable calls himself three-in-one

According to Portable, he speaks to God in the open and in secret, and God has always protected him despite his many enemies.

The Zazu star also added that he was a multifaceted person who does three-in-one. He went on to explain that he is a king, a pastor, a native doctor and an Islamic cleric.

In his words:

“I’m a pastor, Pastor Zazu. Anything I say is the word of God. When I talk, God talks. I’m an angel, I am a human being, I’m not perfect. I am God’s servant even though I might be a gangster, God talks through me. I did not disrespect any pastor, if you are truly a pastor, God’s spirit would have told me, your words are not the word of God. I know God’s word, I know how I talk to God and you cannot tell me how to speak with God. I know how I have been talking to God in the open and in secret and He has been answering me. God answers me every time I talk to Him, from Monday to Sunday. God would not reject my voice or get angry at me. You people will not succeed in killing me. I am surrounded by enemies but God has continued to save me. Is it everyone that God called to be a pastor? Wait for God to call you and don’t spoil his works. I am a king, I am a pastor, a babalawo, an Ogboni and Alfa.”
