Pastor Love discussed the unrelenting scrutiny that men of God often face, emphasising how this stigma can hinder their ability to express themselves freely.
He lamented that many of the harsh accusations directed at pastors are baseless and explained the profound psychological toll these misconceptions can take.
"I have faced a lot of challenges in this role. The job is incredibly demanding. Being a pastor isn’t an easy undertaking. In fact, at times, I find myself praying to God that none of my children should ever pursue a career in pastorship. It’s a profession filled with sorrow and, at times, overwhelming depression."
Pastor Love talks about loneliness in ministry
Pastor Love elaborated on the isolation that can come with the role.
He said that as a preacher, failing to cultivate sources of joy and contentment could lead them to a dark place.
"There is often a lack of peace and happiness in this profession."
His comments hinted at a poignant vulnerability, shedding light on the emotional struggles that many in ministry endure.
Pastor Love talks about using black magic
In addition to discussing his trials, Pastor Love took the opportunity to confront long-standing rumours regarding his spiritual practices.
He firmly denied allegations that he employed black charm or 'juju', stating:
"When I preach, you will understand the depth of my message because it is divinely inspired. Consider the number of songs I have written; each is a testament to the gift I possess, which far exceeds any form of black magic."
