Serving God was the last thing on my list, said gospel minister and recording artiste LJ-Purpose, who admits he wanted to work like the average man, party, smoke, drink and have girlfriends .

Now a proclaimed man of God, Linton Samuels Jr (his given name) sees gospel ministry as part of his purpose, but he breaks the traditional rules of worship .

When we assemble before God, it should be a case that we go to experience him, not because we are instructed to.
