Gospel singer Linet Munyali widely known as Size 8 is celebrating 12 years since she traded secular life to salvation.
While celebrating her achievement, the ‘Mateke’ hitmaker took to her Instagram account on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, and stated that when she gave her life to Christ at the peak of her career as a secular musician many said that her salvation would not last even a week.
Additionally, the singer stated that many had written her off when she was born again.
“It is now 12 years since I gave my life to Jesus Christ. Many said my salvation wouldn’t last even a week thinking that I was holding my own salvation but they underestimated the power of God that is able to save and sustain us in salvation,” Size 8 stated.
Size 8’s former life
Recounting her previous life as a secular artiste, Size 8 stated that she was the chief of sinners and that God rescued her from the pit of darkness.
Size 8, who is also an ordained pastor, went on to say that she is living proof that God’s mercy, grace and power are real.
“God rescued me from the pit of darkness and saved me by His grace yet I was one of the chief of sinners…..His mercy said no to the death of my spirit and degenerated soul,” she stated
“I am a living proof that God is real, His mercy is real, His grace and power are real……And He is love! Help me celebrate Jesus Christ my saviour. I am born again. Nimeokoka.”
Ordained Preacher
In December 2023, the former secular musician was ordained as a preacher at Jubilee Christian Church (JCC) Thika Town, where she has been a member since she was born again in 2013.
“I’m overwhelmed by the doing of God through Jesus Christ in me when I got born again many wrote me off and said I won’t even last a week in salvation, eight years later now see God… His grace saved me from the secular world of music through Jesus Christ, and His power through His spirit changed me into who I am today,“ she wrote.
Trading secular to gospel music
In the mid of 2013, the once reigning queen of Kenyan secular music who was known for her electrifying performances and catchy hits shocked many after announcing that she had been born again.
Trading in her worldly lifestyle, Size 8 began her new life as a gospel artist.
