PASTOR Amos Mphahlele took a break from gospel music from 2014 to 2018 to focus on his pastoring journey.
He told Daily Sun he's back and busy working on his single titled New Jerusalem, which will be released mid-March.
He promised his fans a full album end of March.
The UJesu yiAutomatic hitmaker said there was nothing special about being a pastor. He said he treats both callings, music and ministry, equally.
Mphahlele, who is the founder of Greatness of God Prayer Centre in Villiers in the Free State, said he didn't just wake one morning and decide to be a pastor.
He said it was a journey God prepared him for.
"There's nothing interesting about being a pastor. The only thing I do is to follow the assignment God gave me, but it's not easy," Mphahlele said.
He said there was a difference between being a pastor and a musician.

According to him, a pastor is a shepherd and a singer a worshipper.
"I've taken a four-year break to fulfill my assignment as a pastor. Both of my gifts are a calling, and they work hand-in-hand," he said.
He said every gift has its good and bad times.
His secret weapon to overcome challenge is prayer and fasting.
"My message to young people is that they should listen to their hearts, focus and discipline," he said.
Mphahlele, originally from Delmas in Mpumalanga, was inspired by the gospel legend Dr Derrick Ndzimande.
The multi-talented motivational speaker, song writer, producer, and actor is well-known for his gospel crusade called Bakhiphe eGibhithe.
Mphahlele is also known for his old school and modern style sounds.
He's toured many countries in Africa, including Botswana, Lesotho, Zimbabwe and Tanzania.
