Deeper life church pastor crowned Oba in Ekiti

Against all expectations, Matthew Jegede, a  Pastor of Deeper Life Bible Church had been crowned king in his Ekiti community, South-west Nigeria.
In an interview, the pastor turned king, told BBC News Yoruba that his church members were not in support when the talk came up for him taking the kingship.
Consequently he said he had to stay away from the kingship for 10 years

He also confessed to have had personal reservations about it as he had thought that becoming a king as a Christian was against God’s plan.

“I initially thought it was against God’s plan to become the King. I also thought that if one wants to go to heaven, it will be difficult, he said.”
According to him, the church told me to pray about it which at first he ignored their directive before committing to it. 
However, King Jegede, said he kept having king-like dreams, confirming that he was born to be the king and decided to accept it not minding his church members’ sentiment against it.
He disclosed that surprisingly, on the day the Ekiti Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi handed him the staff of office, the same former church members who initially objected his taking the kingship, trooped out to graced his coronation as (Oba) king.
