Great lessons from Abejoye movie
By Ruth Anastasia
If by now you have not seen the Abejoye movie, there are possibilities that you fall into some categories;
1) You either have no connection to the internet which is most unlikely.
2)You have never heard of the mount Zion team.
3)You think the movie is not one done by your country man, so why watch it.
4) You think the Nigerian movie industry is a sham and you do not know that the mount Zion movie team isn’t Nollywood but evangelical then most probably you fall into another group which are Non Christians who do not watch any other thing.
5) You also could be in the category of those who think any Christian movie ends the same way so you don’t watch them to learn but just as a crowd.
6) You feel it is much better to watch regular movies than watch any religious movie.
All of which does not mean you do not exist but that we as humans are made up of our choices. But of cause you now know which group you belong to for you not to have seen such a master piece. Maybe quarantine will help you now (Laughs).
It will however be interesting if you haven’t seen it by now and you decide to watch it. It’s on Damilola Mike Bamiloye YouTube channel. You won’t miss any part now, as all the seasons have been released for the audience.
Abejoye, a movie highly recommended has been reviewed by myself and many others, you only need to Google it.
Seeing the last part which brought tears to my eyes is what has made me divert from just reviewing the movie to highlighting the intricatel lessons I and maybe many others have learned watching this master piece. Probably these lessons might make you go watch it if that is the lesson you look for as a preacher or Christian or since you know the category you fall into, a change may happen. (Laughs), just go watch it and enjoy but here are the lessons you too may learn.
Lessons:
1) God is not one to cast away anyone who comes to him. Not even the cheating husband who turns a new leaf.
2) God calls everyone, no matter their religion to him. Even the traditionalist (juju man, Shriner or occultist).
3) A new Christian is joyful and not resentful. They can seem crazy to you but its as a result of their new found joy.
4) Anytime there is an issue between a man and his wife, something beyond the natural is behind it.
5) God did not design for couples to have quarrels, he designed that they be prayer partners.
6) Having an elder in the church around you isn’t a bad idea. They are always a blessing.
7) A child growing up in Christ is the best thing that can happen to a family.
8) Grandparents are needed.
9) Fighting your cheating spouse physically can make you lose; go to the God who ordained marriages.
10) You need to stay prayed up, never be afraid.
11) Physical warfare helps no one; life is spiritual.
12) Do not keep too many people in your house as a couple, let the spirit guide you.
13) Marriage is partnership.
14) Run away from anger, run away from pride.
15) Even your lecturer is a traditionalist, stay prayed up.
16) The mercies of God is a powerful prayer.
17) God hears the cry of every child.
There are many more things that this movie teaches us;
it is like a sermon for every home. Thanks to Corona Virus everyone in the family can watch this together before it raptures.
There were many comments but none is as good as God bless The mount Zion team and also The flaming Sword ministry.
Now I can’t wait to watch ‘My Mother Inlaw’
