VIDEO: Jesus showed me the truth behind cultism – Gospel reggae artist Buchi

Nigerian gospel reggae artist, Buchi Atuonwu Bwai has shared his experience about being a cultist.

 

Speaking about his experience on Sunday in a YouTube podcast known as BlackFlame hosted by Gaise Baba which started trending on Monday, the songwriter stated that Jesus showed him the meaning of the cult.

 

Responding to the question from the host about how he left the cult, Buchi recounted how Jesus redefined his understanding of cultism, showing him that it was more than secret meetings and rituals, it was a spiritual battlefield.

 

He said, “Exiting the cult. Jesus, I had a deeper understanding of the cult. Jesus showed me the meaning of the cult. That it was not a physical association, You can’t bring a knife to a gunfight and hope to win. The spiritual thing and much of what I was protesting, much of what I was fighting were spiritual.”

 

The ‘Yes Lord’ crooner stated that during his time in the cult, he was the lead singer and his life changed forever during one of those night he was leading songs.

 

He said, “So one day I was in the company of about 200 people and I was their singer. No microphones. And time was somewhere between one and two in the morning. And it was in the bush somewhere.

 

“And I had to be loud enough and commanding enough for everyone to hear me. And we were going on a voyage. And I was leading in songs.

I was singing. And the convoy was to my right.

 

“But from the left, someone spoke into my ears and said, You don’t belong here.

So I was startled. But I couldn’t stop singing. I kept singing. I kept singing.

But there was nobody there.

 

“As we moved on that procession, I heard that voice again. This time it was clearer. It said, You don’t belong here. I could not unhear what I heard. And it remained with me until the events that followed.”

Shedding more light on misconceptions about cultism, Buchi debunked the stereotype that it’s a thing reserved for reckless university students. The reality, he said, is far more disturbing.

 

He said, “And these were all young men and old. Ready to do damage. There were 60-year-olds there. There were 70-year-olds there. There were 20-year-olds there. 30-year-olds. The cult is a leveller. The rich and the poor.

 

“And people from all tribes were united. Fervently pursuing a cause. The cult has very little to do with the university students.
