Why I pursued education despite knowing I would become prophet – Nigel Gaisie reveals

Prophet Nigel Gaisie has disclosed that even though he believed from a young age that he would become a religious leader, he was resolute in his pursuit of formal education to become a proficient and eloquent preacher. Speaking on Adom TV's M'ashyaseɛ, the founder of Prophetic Hill Chapel recounted that he began experiencing what he refers to as divine guidance around the age of 13 or 14.

He described vivid visions and a distinct perception of individuals' names, attributing these experiences to spiritual encounters. Despite these divine encounters, Gaisie emphasized his commitment to obtaining formal education, citing the need to communicate effectively in English. "I knew clearly that I wanted to become a man of God, but I also wanted to go to school so I could speak English," he recalled.

He expressed a desire to become a preacher capable of articulating his sermons with the same clarity and fluency as professionals such as lawyers and doctors. "I wanted to become a man of God who could speak English just as well as a lawyer or a doctor," he stated. Gaisie also revealed that his initial career aspirations were in law before his religious calling took precedence.

Regarding his educational journey, he shared that he attended ABUSCO, where he served as senior school prefect. Following the completion of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), he had to retake Core Mathematics after failing the subject on his first attempt. He then enrolled at Ideal College, where he successfully passed Core Mathematics and secured admission to the University of Ghana to study Linguistics, History, and Religious Studies.

He later completed his national service at the Military Academy Training School (MATS) School of Education.
