Dearest Christian medic, I do not believe there is a scene that sums up the Movie Enoch than the very last one; when Enoch finally accepted the call to be the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, packed with his family, left his life behind and held onto God and His promises. And no scene with more power than when Daddy GO stood up from his seat to address the RCCG of our days. Decades ago, he might not have known what God had planned for him, nor did he believe he could become all that God’s call wanted him to be, but God sees the end from the beginning; as you ponder on this movie with me, God urges you to see the end from the beginning. Like Enoch, there was something about you when you were born, something that made you stand out, something that made you sober or cry; something that drew your entire being towards a God and world you had no idea of. It pulled you out of your shell, led you out of darkness into light, fought the gates of hell for you, and set you along the path of righteousness–although not all of us felt we were right standing in any way, but God upholds us with His righteous hand and draws us closer, nearer to Him. For some of us, we have been walking towards God alone, unsure of our friends and confidants. Still, the beautiful thing about this journey, like the movie marvelously portrayed with Mama Folu, God sends those who will walk life with us, in odd yet beautiful ways; there is no forcing it, faking it, or fighting for it—it just comes naturally and when it does, our faith should be big enough to lay hold of it. Truly, there are a million and one messages the movie passes across, but we must not miss the one the theme song “Dide” tells us. Dearest Christian medic, arise! God has anointed you to preach to lost souls, to bind the brokenhearted, to bring light to those who have lost hope, to declare freedom to the captives, to free the bound. It’s more than a song indeed, but our charge for our generation. This is what we owe our world, to leave it better than we met it; full of light, love, and power. As the movie has told us, Daddy Adeboye is playing his part. Today, God is calling you to take that leap of faith and play yours. So yes, I recommend the movie. I recommend it a hundred times because it would stir you up in prayers, sounds, and the ever-beautiful Yoruba language to that leap of faith and play your God-designed role. Not all of us would be GOs, but you’d be amazed how God would use you in these days and time.
