Tanzanian gospel sensation Christina Shusho has recently shed light on her decision to remove her wedding ring and separate from her pastor husband, John Shusho.
In an undated interview with New Jerusalem Church TV, the renowned artist attributed her actions to her strong commitment to her ministry calling.
The Shusha Nyavu hitmaker revealed that she had a vision that she was determined to fulfil, leading to the amicable dissolution of her marriage.
“I have always been authentic and truthful. The reality is that it’s just a mission. Nothing else has changed. The assignment God gave me at this time required me to leave where I was. I had to leave to fulfil the mission,” she candidly revealed.
Shusho also clarified that she does not have the title of pastor and expressed discomfort at being labelled as such.
“I am a dreamer. There’s a vision I need to see through. I prefer not to be called a pastor. I think I have more to do,” she added.
Commenting on her separation from her husband, Shusho explained that she had sought her husband’s blessing to pursue her calling and assured that they remain on good terms.
She also challenged the notion that God gives both spouses identical callings, emphasising the importance of understanding and supporting each other’s individual paths.
“Weh, getting married is part of what God brings together, but what He has put in both of you is different. We should not lie to each other,” she explained.
“What is needed is for both of you to come to an agreement and get to know what each of you is gifted in. This is what hurts so many women who try to follow what their husbands are called to do, and you end up forgetting your calling. Let’s be careful that we don’t kill what we are called to do by trying to impress each other. There are those who have the grace to follow a path”.
When asked about their current relationship, Shusho said she only shares projects that contribute to her income.
“Sharing posts about him doesn’t generate income. I am my own brand in the public eye,” she said.
