Veteran Nollywood
Star, Patience Ozokwor aka Suzzy famously known for her ‘Wicked Mother-In-Law’
roles in movies is now a born again christian to the core, Patience now goes
about preaching and conducting crusades.
In an interview with Starttells, at a
crusade organised by St. Marks Anglican Church in Eziobodo Village of Imo
State, where she shared her Salvation Experience. According to her, she
normally organises a personal retreat for herself in the first few days of the
new year, when it was time to have her 2016 retreat, she heard the voice of the
Holy Spirit telling her to fast for 21 days, she complained that she have so
many projects to handle, Endorsements and movies to shoot within that period,
and the Lord extended it to a 30 days fast due to her complaints. During this
fasting period, The Lord revealed to her, how she will be a voice for him all
over the world, how people’s attention will be channeled from her image on
Nollywood to The Gospel. She said one of the things God warned her on, was her
dressing and appearance. She said that Putting on Makeup, wearing Jewelry and
putting on Trouser as a Lady is wrong, she said that she has been preaching to
colleagues in Nollywood, but God told her to put off her Dreads, to stop
wearing Jewelries and Trousers, that she could have gone to Hell, if she died
December 31, 2015 despite the preaching she’s been doing, just because of her
appearance. She asked the Holy Spirit to prove to her, give strong reasons, why
that was a Sin, and Spirit of God replied that she should browse about it, that
Testimonies of personal revelations God gave to people are all over the
internet, and all of them are saying virtually the same thing, that she should
find those informations to help her life. She made mention of her Social Class,
how the creme de la creame of the society, will attend her funeral and how such
event won’t be a reflection of the position of her soul
She subsequently got
to the internet and read testimonies of God’s encounter with people, she read
about an Igbo Woman God encountered, and a Woman called Margaret from Edo
State, who could have gone to Hell for hating her Husband. She said that people
in Church is making God cry, due to their dressing, their loose life and
conduct. After that encounter, she gave herself to spirit filled pastors for
follow-up. She further outlined what makes God weep, from Galatians 5: 16-20.
She also took time to explain how a parent-children relationship ought to be.
On this, she said that some of the terrible things children do, is a mirror of
what their parents do. She went on to cite an example of a Pastor’s wife,
buying short dress for her daughter, but will still come to the church and
condemn such dressing. When asked about her Nollywood life, Patience Ozokwor
narrated that the Holy Spirit has not specifically directed her to quit or to
not. She said that she has not shot any movie since that encounter in January,
that she used to get an average of 1.5 Million Naira weekly, but that God has
miraculously been providing her daily bread. She warned that it will be harder
for colleagues in the movie industry, with permanent tattoos and eyebrows when
they eventually encounter Christ. She also said that she should stop being
referred to as Mama G, as that name was for when she was in the world. We went
further to ask about her immediate family reactions to her new found faith, to
which she answered that her daughter was upset with her, telling her that
spirituality is a thing of the heart, and it doesn’t need to affect her dress
code. Patience Ozokwor replied her daughter that she should be left alone with
her Jesus. The brother also thought that she was mad, on hearing the news, and
had to call her to confirm that she is mentally sound. She also said that she
is happy her Son who plays football in Europe is now born again. Among other
things she pointed was her Anglican Church and SU History, How Christian
Association of Nigeria gave her a bible and many other things. She also talked
about a Muslim leader, who said they have Nigeria in their hands, Fulani
Herdsmen, and their deadly strategies. She cited example with Turkey (Istanbul)
a Christian turned Muslim country. She also said that Islam is ready to take
over the world, but our problem is that Christians can easily lose their faith
for money.
