Benedict Johnson, an actor, revealed that he went five years without landing a single role in a film. He bemoaned the fact that no filmmakers reached out to him for projects at that time.
Johnson talked about his experience at Streams of Joy International in Abuja in a widely shared video, claiming that the experience made him move there to participate in Jerry Eze’s prayer activities.
He said, “For five good years as a seasoned actor, I never had any job to do. Our industry is not like an employment where you can walk up to your director and say, ‘What’s happening?’ — why was I fired? This one, silently, nobody calls you for a job. For five years, I had no job to do. I kept believing in God,” he said.
“At the time, I decided to move down to Abuja because of NSPPD. I was following online, but I said to myself I would come to Abuja so I could see Pastor Jerry every Sunday — watch him, stay with him, stare in his face and ask God to bless me through him.
“Some of my colleagues said, ‘Benedict, Abuja is not a film place. If you go to Abuja, nobody will call you’. I said, ‘Don’t worry,’ and I came down here.
“Fast forward to now: this year alone, I have done twelve jobs already. We did 21 days of fasting and prayers this January, and I was right here praying.
“… God opened my way, and I started doing jobs. As I speak to you right now, by next week, I am going to Germany and America to make a movie. I intend to return all the glory to God.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
