Social media was abuzz after popular Nigerian actress Sharon Ooja took to church altars to thank God for answering her long desire to settle with a partner of her dreams.
NaijaOnPoint.com.ng (NOP) reports that Ooja recounted on Sunday how her faith and patience led her to meet her husband, Ugo Nwoke, after years of waiting.
In June, recall that Sharon Ooja tied the knot with her husband, Ugo Nwoke at Harvesters International Christian Centre in Lagos.
Giving her testimony, the actress shared her spiritual experience while praying for a spiritual partner, explaining how she had a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit after years of praying for a life partner.
“Several times I would have conversations with God, saying, ‘You’ve given me work, financial stability, and I’m great at what I do. There’s just one thing I’m still waiting for,’” she shared.
She also recalled when “Pastor B“ asked her what qualities she sought in a man.
She replied, “Someone who will take care of me.” The pastor, however, urged her to focus on personal growth.
She narrated how she continued to pray until last year when she was filming a movie in the desert, and the Holy Spirit told her, ‘Leave her burdens here.’
She recalled the moment vividly, saying, “I was filming in the desert and had a heavy encounter with the Holy Spirit. I remember hearing, ‘Leave your burdens here.”
She stressed that not long after that experience, she met the man who would become her husband.
The testimony, however, stirred reactions online, with critics offering their opinions. Some supported the actress’s testimony, praising God on her behalf; others saw it as unnecessary.
