GOD CALLING WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY BB SASORE

After an iconic creation and successful release of Before 30 and Banana Island Ghost, BB Sasore is set to bless Nigerians with yet another highly anticipated movie, God Calling, whose thriller has put viewers on the edge of their seat as they look forward to its release in the cinemas this December 21st.

The visuals of the thriller and its sneak peek is completely off the hook and unlike anything Nigerians are familiar with. Featuring daily issues and societal concerns like depression, addiction to social media and loss of identity, God Calling brings to core modern day realities and the tools mitigating spirituality.

God calling chronicles the life of protagonist Sade, excellently played by Zainab Balogun, who suffers a personal tragedy as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and faith which leaves her changed, and extensively transforming the lives of those around her.

The film features a stellar cast made up of Zainab Balogun, Karibi Fubara, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Onyeka Onwenu, Nkem Owoh, Tina Mba, Patrick Diabuah, Chidinma Okebalama (Chee), Diana Egwuatu, and a host of other talented actors.

Sharing what propelled him to create the movie, Sasore stated: “As a filmmaker, I considered how the world is looking to our continent for original stories, and how the Bible is filled with the most original stories that we each experience in our own way every day. It led me to think of how religion would adapt to time and geography, and this is what birthed ‘God Calling’.”

“I think our film industry has so much potential but lacks the infrastructure and resources to compete globally. I believe the faith-based genre could do for Nollywood what martial arts did for Oriental Asia, or romance did for India.”

Without mincing words, this is one film all Nigerians need to watch as it gives a fresh perspective to life and prepares one spiritually and emotionally for the new year.

 

Paul Adefarasin prays for Nigeria at The Experience 2018 Concert

The Experience Concert held on Friday, December 7th 2018 for the 13th year running at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) Onikan, Lagos. It was a fantastic experience all though. The event, which is a ministry expression of Pastor Paul Adefarasin and his House On The Rock church, had the whole world worshipping from 7 pm on Friday night up until the early hours of Saturday morning. This year’s edition was themed ‘Jesus our Peace.’

The concert featured a powerful line up of award-winning and renowned indigenous and international gospel musicians such as Don Moen, Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, Timi Dakolo, Travis Greene, Nathaniel Bassey, , Vicki Yohe, Chioma Jesus, Tope Alabi, Eben , Tim Godfrey, Mike Aremu, Glowreeyah, Onos, Eno Michael and Chee. And for the first time at The Experience is JJ Hairston, Planetshakers and Ada Ehi. Kudos to Pastor Paul Adefarasin and House On The Rock church for making this a reality. We can never go wrong by worshipping God.

The Experience averages a yearly attendance of over 500,000 people at the venue, with millions more watching live online from all over the world. According to Pastor Paul Adefarasin, the concert has grown to become the biggest gospel concerts in the world. The Experience Concert was first held in December 2006 at Tafawa Balewa Square with 70,000 people in attendance.

Paul Adefarasin at a press conference on Friday explained that the inspiration behind the 2018 theme is to highlight who Jesus is, especially in the world we live in today – the Prince of Peace. The allure of The Experience Gospel Concert is its penchant for unifying people irrespective of nationality, faith, gender, status or political persuasion.

Adefarasin noted that regardless of the outcome of the forthcoming elections; peace is the ultimate candidate that we should all support, and must be the candidate that wins.

“Despite many challenges Nigerians may face, we cannot afford to lose faith in God’s ability to turn things around for our good, choosing to see a bright future, the Nigeria of our dreams, one that we can proudly bequeath to the next generation.”

“Our elected representatives can no longer afford to the selfish luxury of focusing on their own interests; rather they must be fully capable of managing our affairs.”

“The population can no longer sit back and complain of lack of clear direction. It is time to become change agents, nation transformers and the solution that Nigeria has long awaited. Providentially, the Nigerian electorate is fast evolving from nonchalant, passive onlookers into politically keen, invested and active participants seeking to develop and enshrine good governance, as evidenced by the number of technocrats vying for elective positions in the forthcoming general elections.”

Adefarasin said each Nigerian registered to vote must do so with a clear conscience devoid of prejudice or self-interest.

“Our vote must be for peace, transparency, credibility, equity, justice, inclusion, development and unity. Patriotism should be of necessity, be our motivation and above all, peace must be our ultimate candidate regardless of the outcome of the elections. We all need to work together for a peaceful win.”

The Experience Gospel Concert 2018 It was indeed a night of worship as Jesus was exalted as King. The event was well attended by members of the media, captains of industries, doyens in the marketplace, diplomatic corps, government officials, statesmen and a plethora of guests. We can’t wait for 2019!

Pastor Paul Adefarasin celebrates son Alvin Adegboyega Adefarasin on his birthday

Pastor Paul Adefarasin today took to Instagram to celebrate the birthday of one of his sons, Alvin Adegboyega Adefarasin who just turned 21.

The House On The Rock pastor shared the following post:

Today, I am deeply grateful and prayerfully rejoice that one of my two sons and the seed of my loins turns 21.

Adegboyega, we are grateful that you have tested our values and chosen to walk with them in the the path of the upright, and sustainably so.

It seems like only yesterday …, you were but a baby in our arms, and today, we have a son who understands his place, his promise, his power and his purpose; who will not depart from the verities with which he has been raised; and who can stand authoritatively to speak with the adversity at the gate.

Recently, you graduated with a First Class Degree in Civil Engineering; an accomplishment that is not only heart-warming but also speaks succinctly of your dedication and discipline in the world of academia. However, you excel everywhere else and exude the attributes of a true leader.

You have brought us only pride and joy, and so let it be IJN.

So in the moment of a defining milestone birthday, I write as your father in these two facets of life; the natural and the spiritual and want you to know that we commend you again to the Great Grace of the One who is able to keep you and cause you to continue to be far above and beyond all that you can ask or aspire to. I pray that the dew of heaven continually rests upon your heart, and that the oil of gladness never departs from your soul.

As a sharpened and well appointed arrow vested in to my quiver, you will go expressly to your God ordained destiny, and will attain greater heights than we could ever imagine.

May you be a voice to and for your generation – issuing forward the wisdom and awesomeness of our God.

Just as Our Heavenly Father is limitless; may you walk in His boundless grace to be all that you can be and to do all that you can do.

We are profoundly proud of you, we love you, we always have, and always will.

Have a great day!!!!!! Dad
