"Your purpose and calling are to preach the gospel of Christ to the four corners of the earth. There is a mantle upon your head. There is an anointing in your life, and God is calling you to reach out to the nations," Omondi said.
The controversial comedian further pointed out to the musicians that they have been called to take the word to the entire universe, not just their churches.
"God is not calling you to the church, but He is calling you to spread the gospel to the rest of the world", he noted.

On Friday, the self-proclaimed president of African comedy Eric Omondi and Kiss FM presenter Oga Obinna got into a physical altercation after Omondi attended an interview at the station.
Obinna, who was against Eric being invited for the interview, was annoyed that his fellow comedian showed up to the station even after a series of warnings to stay away.
As he had stated ahead of the interview, Eric was accompanied by bodyguards - an entourage he insists a president must walk around with for security purposes.
The fight started after Obinna told Eric Omondi to stop hiding what he wanted people to see.
According to Obinna, Omondi should prove his point, especially regarding his dressing style.

"If you have a point to prove just come out, it's a safe space. Stop hiding in a hole and people already know you are there. Just come out and tell people that, listen guys a am fluid or am like this," Obinna said.
Before the presenter finished making his point, Eric hurtled his phone at him and pounced as his bodyguards intervened.
Shortly before the physical altercation, the two exchanged bitter words, with Obinna accusing Eric of not doing anything in the comedy industry.
Obinna dismissed Eric, challenging his 'president of African comedy' title. He said Eric Omondi has only been going on village tours in Uganda.
