Gospel musician Pitson has been ordained to serve as a reverend.

The veteran singer shared the news of his new path on social media with a video of him being prayed for accompanied by his pregnant wife and children.

"What does it mean dear Lord? to be now called a Reverend, teach me, reveal to me. Teach me humility. Purity and Holiness. How to value the call. May the call bring me closer to you, pour me like oil in this, your world, burn me like a sacrifice. Plant me in the nations and reap the universe for You. Amen," he wrote.

Pitson grew up as a pastor's child.

"I was in this group where the mantra was 'Purity is Power'. While we're together, we had an unwritten agreement not to have sex with our girlfriends," he said.

In an interview with Robert Burale, Pitson shared how almost lost his marriage for keeping mistresses and sponsoring their lifestyle.

In college, Pitson never flirted or even kissed a girl.

"I met my wife Carol in the second year. We started dating and we got married. Later, I got a job at a bank. That is when I released the 'Lingala ya Yesu.' There was so much money during that time."

Pitson said he was young with a wife but had few responsibilities.

"I was making a lot of cash and I was just paying Sh22,000 as rent in Kinoo. Money is like a servant, so if you don't give it work, it will introduce mischief."

He said since he had money, he paid rent for so many different women and became their 'sponsor'.

"They would pay me with sex. Purity and faithfulness were thrown out of the window. My wife also found out about it," he said, adding that she found out through messages that the budget did not add up.

Speaking on Sunday at Rauka, Pitson hoped he will inspire more generations through his talent and his new job title.

"I have learnt to use the talent and time to gain wisdom and I pray that Christ will help me bear fruits since it is also very possible for a christian to be saved but they do not bear fruits."

Pitson added;

"I try and connect myself to the true vine so I can bear fruits."

In the past Pitson has spoken out about his mistakes in life saying he has learnt to be better every day.
