This is a 2019 movie that was written by Olumide Oki. A commendable feat by this movie is its star-studded cast and crew. This movie uses actors and actresses whose pedigrees are those of protagonists, but here, many of them feature as supporting cast. Christ Mirror Film Productions did not limit itself in any way; I daresay that it got the best of the best in the ministry to shoulder the production portfolios of this movie.
Similarly, it didn’t make use of actors that belong to its ministry alone, but got many other professionals to do the tasks that needed to be carried out in the movie. It boasts cast like Kayode Babalola, Deborah Adeola, Omolara Ayoola, Chioma Chukwulotam, Tobi Olumuyiwa, Adeoye Omoniyi, Richard Omidiwura…the list is endless. The crew also comprises the cream of the crop in Victor Olukoju as the director, Kunle Adepoju as the director of photography, Nike Owah as the make-up artist, Chioma Chukwulotam as the continuity manager, Johnson Babatola as the set-designer, Abiola Babatola Nattytunes as the editor, Tunde Owah as the production manager, and a whole retinue of other ministry professionals. This is a movie with a lot of time, revenue and effort invested into it.
One other interesting and vital crew portfolio indicated in the end credits is the prayer department, which is credited to Olubunmi Oki. This is a strong indicator and reminder that the gospel movie sector is hardly an industry, but a ministry. The place of prayer cannot be overemphasized. Producing any film that proclaims the gospel is one under serious spiritual threats. Drama ministers have to come to this understanding that it’s not about being seen on stage or online, but about serious spiritual warfare which shouldn’t be taken lightly.
The movie is akin to an abstract painting, the meaning of which is somewhat of a mystery at the beginning but which eventually at the end, comes together to form a masterpiece. Just as pieces of a puzzle would, the ending of the movie serves as that “Aha!” moment where you get the whole picture. It serves as a great illustration of the message of the Cross, which is a pleasant aroma to those being saved and a stench to those perishing.
The movie tells about the good news which really is the ‘too-good-to-be-true’ news that salvation has come not by the law, but by believing on the one whom God has sent, His Son Jesus Christ. This is an “offer” to be grabbed with both hands. Like someone once said, you can’t genuinely be saved and not witness the transformation that only Jesus gives. He said that the gospel of Christ is like a product with a lifetime warranty: Try Jesus for six (6) months. If you don’t like it, you can have your sins back.
